Please tell me people have heard of both bands. If not, heres the story.

Horse the Band is a hard core band that call themselves "Nintendo-Core". They sing songs about Nintendo games. Like their most widely-heard song, Cutman, about Megaman's nemisis, Cutman. The song "Big Blue Violence" is about F-zero's Captain Falcon. The rest of the songs are hard to figure out what games they are about. I love this band.

But I love the Advantage more. They do covers of old nintendo songs. Here is the tracklist of their most recent album.

Megaman 2 - Flashman
Double Dragon II - Stage 2
Goonies 2
Bubble Bobble
Bubble Bobble - Shark Skeleton
Wizards and Warriors - Intro
Bomberman 2
Bionic Commando - POW Camp
Super Mario Bros. 2 - Underworld
Super Mario Bros. 2 - Overworld
Contra - Snowfields
Zelda - Fortress
Batman 2
Megaman 3 - Dr Wiley Stage
Double Dragon II (story and boss music)
Castlevania III - Epitaph
Ninja Gaiden - Mine Shaft
Mario 3 - Underworld
Blastermaster - Stage 2
Ghosts 'n' Goblins - Intro
Ghosts 'n' Goblins
Castlevania - Stage 3
Marble Madness
Metal Gear - Jungle
Contra - Boss Music
Castlevania III - Evergreen

The music is beautifully played. The drummer is the guitarist from Hella (if you have heard the music, they are very talented).

Anyone who has heard of either, tell me.

Somebody just mentioned the band The Advantage to me the other day, but I haven't got around to looking their stuff up yet. I have heard one song by the Mini-Bosses, and it didn't sound too bad.

Also, there is a band in my home town called Stood Up. They don't do Nintendo songs exactly, but they do a song called My Final Fantasy. They're a pretty talented group of individuals.

I just heard The Mini-bosses. They are no where near as talented as The Advantage. Compare the Castlevania 1 Stage 3 song to the Advantage's.

Just checked out the Advantage band, and they are definately better than the Mini-Bosses. Do they have more songs available than what is on their site? I couldn't find the Castlevania you were talking about.

Here's what I found:

Those few are good, but you've got to download the others.

My personal favorites are:
-Ninja Gaiden, Mine Shaft
-Blastermaster, Stage 2
-Contra - Boss Music
-Megaman 2 - Flashman
-Castlevania - Stage 3
-Bubble Bobble - Shark Skeleton

Heres an mp3 of Ninja Gaiden (prepare to be amazed):

Yeah, I love the Advantage. VERY technical. They played close to here a month or two ago. A bunch of friends went, but I had class. WEAK! Maybe next time they're in the area I can see 'em.

By the way, my signature is a horse the band quote, talking about Cutman
