Music that totally pwns

Okay, so I admit it—I totally love the show Pure Pwnage. Sure, it’s the sort of thing that you’d really only “get” if you were a gaming geek, so there you have it; I’m a gaming geek.

The show is made by a Canadian film school student, Kyle, and follows the exploits of Jeremy, a self-proclaimed “pro gamer” in Toronto. The show is brilliantly funny, and you should definitely check it out.

But that’s not actually why I decided to write this piece. Ever since seeing episode 4 of the show, I’d fallen in love with the song used for the “training” sequence. For months I wondered what song it was, since there was no mention of it anywhere, but when checking out the Pure Pwnage forums, someone had finally found the song. It’s called “Rain Snow Sleet Hail”, off the album “ToSleepToDreamToWake” by Interstellar. Interstellar is a Toronto-based group and having listened to that and another of their songs off of the same album, I can’t recommend these guys enough.

The album is available for purchase at Tonevendor.com, and you can even listen to a preview of one of the songs off of the album on that page.

So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!
