Total Gaming Network is happy to continue our Music in Gaming series today with our next featured band. We have paired up with Artwerk, a dedicated music label for Electronic Arts, to bring our community closer to the bands that you can hear in EA titles. Each month we will feature a new band on our site that has their music in all the latest EA games. Throughout the month the band is featured, we will stream exclusive tracks, offer free downloads when available, and conduct interviews with the bands. All of this is in an effort to connect the gamers to the bands and vice versa. So without further ado, we'd like to present this month's featured band:
Bang Camaro
The band released their self-titled album in February 2007, which was simply a collection of the songs they had released themselves on the internet. "We were surprised how many people still wanted the CD format." explains Bennett, "So we decided to create a record label to sell the CDs ourselves, online and at shows." Released on their own Black Sword Records imprint, the album went on to sell a respectable 8,000 copies without traditional distribution. In addition, video game songs "Push Push (Lady Lightning)" and "Pleasure (Pleasure)" went on to top over 300,000 in iTunes sales.

The band went on to have their music featured in "Rock Band," "Rock Band 2," "Titan Quest," and "Phase." Demand for Bang Camaro grew, with the band performing at high profile festival events such as Summerfest, Wakarusa, and kicking off Lollapalooza in 2008. They returned to Boston in the summer and continued work on their next album.
