Punk Rock Factory - Round One, Fight! (SXSW Gaming Medley)

[@christophertin]

Okay, I just discovered this via Reddit, and I'm so honored that "Baba Yetu" made the cut. And MAAAAD props to the lead singer for hitting that high C#. DAMN.

[@punkrockfactory]

Duuuuuude! We HAD to include it. Baba Yetu is one of, if not the most iconic tracks featured in a video game. Thank you for checking this out. We hope we did it justice! It’s always easier when the source material is amazing ❤️

[@RandomSelectGaming]

This exchange made my day.

[@mattsherif]

@@RandomSelectGaming right?! I just realized it was THE Christopher Tin replying. Wow.

[@RandomSelectGaming]

@@mattsherif in my admittedly limited interactions with those in the industry, I can say that 100% of the time composers have been the chillest people.

[@mattsherif]

@@RandomSelectGaming I loved the Baba Yetu cover that Peter Hollens did with Malukah, PRF is proof I need a punk rock cover of it. Maybe a whole album of it, call it Wurst 1-1…

[@nicolasvannier6568]

There can be mistakes, but there it is : Sonic The Hedgehog OST - Green Hill Zone Tetris - Theme A Portal - Still Alive Street Fighter - The World Warrior Skyrim - Dragonborn Zelda - Main theme Super Smash Bros Ultimate - Lifelight Hades - Good Riddance Deathloop - Déjà Vu Assassin's Creed 2 - Ezio's Family Outer Wilds - Travelers Death Stranding - CHVRCHES Uncharted - Nathan Drake’s theme Civilisation IV - Baba Yetu Super Mario Land - World Music 1 Wii Sports - Title theme

[@MichaelCutts7]

The Kingdom Hearts one is actually Uncharted - Nathan Drake’s theme

[@nicolasvannier6568]

@@MichaelCutts7 Okay thanks mate !

[@punkrockfactory]

Doom isn’t in it..

[@nicolasvannier6568]

@@punkrockfactory Oh boy... that sounded very close to me, my bad !

[@richstokesy]

The Hades track is Good Riddance (at least, it sounds like Hades to us).

[@swimdude2113]

I think I speak for everyone when I say we need a full cover of Baba Yetu desperately

[@hugofuenmayor]

Yes!

[@GhostRaziel13]

I third this motion Edit: it's like a month later and I basically listen to this song just for the baba yetu part

[@DancingKittyCat]

This is the best game melody song I've ever heard!!! So many important songs to me. The Outer Wilds song is very special to me ❤ I'm so glad it made it into this compilation !❤

[@linkflorestv87]

I'm CRYING... THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I ALWAYS NEEDED.

Thanks! We’re super proud of this!

[@FBPrepping]

I´m listening this with my 13yo kiddo and we´re tripping! His happiness face listening "Dovakinn" was incredible. Thanks for this buddies. You ROCK.

[@Filthyy1]

That sonic riff is an absolute banger

[@RandomSelectGaming]

Yeah I can't stop coming back here to listen to this, full versions of all of these needs to be the next album

[@erika-the-red]

Well done, lads! I never knew how badly I needed an album of Zelda covers by you guys until just now.

[@sofylalala]

OMG! The elder scrolls part was so great!!

[@andrewprahlow]

honored to have made the list. I love you guys!

[@punkrockfactory]

Had to include it! Such an awesome track. Thanks for checking us out dude! ❤️

[@indiiedreamer]

I screamed so hard when they started still alive! I need the full cover! also.... Kingdom Hearts PLEASE!!!

[@RandomSelectGaming]

Ohhhhh shit, simple and clean would be incredible

[@joshuastrnad4023]

Baba Yetu was such an awesome surprise! Great medley!

[@LukeVenables]

I'd love to see some of these as full versions. That Chvrches song would be sweet. Your arrangements are awesome.

[@wasivis_]

The transition from Drake's to Baba Yetu to World 1 to Wii Sports was fucking seamless. You guys just keep getting better, love from Argentina

[@jameslane2326]

Ok you got me, i shed a tear when i heard Outer Wilds, Im glad that game is reaching so many people, it was a transformational experience for me in gaming.

[@inilefreak]

Please, a complete album about THIS!!! Grat job!! Love from Spain!! :)

[@MichaelHeide]

Don't stop at just one.

[@2pie3rs4life]

Insanely happy to hear some love for Outer Wilds, its music hits my heart and soul in a way no other can!

[@firestar1991]

this is so good love the outer wilds part

[@estebanrastouil8437]

Please we need a full cover of Baba Yetu in our lives !

[@Gittins89]

This is going on the gym playlist as soon as it’s on Spotify.

[@bearlyburly]

They should do a video game cover album. Want a full version of the Outer Wilds theme!

[@YuzieYuzie]

The part leading from "Dragonborn" to "Theme of the Legend of Zelda" is my favorite part of “Round one, Fight!”!!

[@punkrockfactory]

👌🏻👌🏻

[@GuybrushT]

Waitin' for the Round 2

[@xulianpintos982]

U included the Outer wilds theme!! U guys are great.

[@mikkyhiggs8794]

Now this is a tune love this, didn't ask for it but glad I come across it

[@twistedsoul]

Oh my word, I need full covers of all of these.

[@AB-hb2yu]

Plz do a full cover of Baba Yetu.... plz... plz... plz...

[@CBattles6]

About two minutes in, a thought pops into my head: "Man, it would be incredible if Baba Yetu was in this, but there's no chance in hell."

[@punkrockfactory]

Had to be done!

[@RaizerFTW]

Full versions please, you rock!

[@satAMfox]

Ok seriously how does this not have more views??!? The talent on display here is amazing! Keep it up guys!!

[@punkrockfactory]

It’s only been online for a short time 😁

[@Toppot2]

There is no doubt we need game covers/a game album from you! Scott Pilgrim, Portal, Nier Automata, Tetris, Sonic!

[@beardo7]

Wow - just found this going through the singles on Spotify and CHVRCHES from DS and Baba Yetu from Civ are both Epic covers and need the full PRF treatment at some point. After All Hands on Deck think a full Video Game album would be epic 🤜🤛 Beardo.

[@emilianosoler1237]

Esto es sumamente increíble! Los amo!

[@ClementGenniaux]

I love video games music and i love punk rock. What a great idea you have with this ! Gimme more !!!!

[@NickHunter27]

[@coryschlichting3517]

Jimminy Cricket! This was EPIC!!! You guys have certainly rocked the Kasbah!

[@joshmore7175]

Guys this is amazing. Sad about no Escape From The City though. Gonna need that from you I reckon

[@misstrussteLgbTq]

That moment before you did Skyrim where you all look at each other to say “yep guys… we learned a song in Dovah speech for this.”

[@punkrockfactory]

Haha yep!

[@TheAngelChaz]

I need to hear you guys to escape from the city! :) this is just amazing!

[@gregiep]

The ones I recognize are great. Guess I’m not enough of a gamer to know them all.

[@anamajey5]

I love it, I'd like a full version for almost all these short covers

[@artgeez]

Everything about this was awesome! Highlight for me was the Skyrim theme 👍

[@richstokesy]

That was so awesome! You guys absolutely... SMASHED that! Seconding so many other comments, we'd also love to see separate full covers of the vocal parts, especially Baba Yetu and Lifelight.

[@darthwolfX2]

I love their music

[@OverScrobbles]

How do you only have 75k subs?! You guys are amazing, more ppl need to know about you!

[@Frostbitten24]

Goodness, I can't stop playing this! Great job y'all. I'm not really familiar with Wii Sports music so I thought that the last tune was a tidbit from Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach until I started reading the comments haha.

[@TRMofYT]

The fact you guys started with Sonic makes me happy. Ive played Sonic since I was 6.

[@TRMofYT]

Also you guys have GOT to do a full version of Lifelight

[@NotsaNomis]

I need a full version of that Zelda clip!

[@the_game_masters_network]

thik yall should do a full version of bau bau yatu it souded amazing the way you did it keep rocking guys ~DJ Hatchet~

[@hoppysmag]

They need to do a full Death Stranding cover. That was so well done and the best genre change I've heard in a while

[@punkrockfactory]

We hear ya. What a great track.

[@tmatthewnielsen]

With the "LeChuck's Revenge" poster you have in that room, I keep holding onto hope that you'll do a Monkey Island punk rock medley. I realize they most of the themes don't typically have singing, but I'd still like to see what you could do with it.

[@punkrockfactory]

It’s definitely something we’ve talked about. The original MI theme was in the original draft for this song but it was getting out of hand length-wise so ended up on the cutting room floor unfortunately. Never say never!

[@tmatthewnielsen]

Nice! Oh, and the song in the SCUMM Bar from "Secret of Monkey Island" is actually the tune of an old drinking song, so there's some singing along that can be mixed in as well (And a rousing chorus of "Pirates we were meant to be" certainly would be lovely). ;)

[@chriscraven1818]

Death Stranding!!!! Need a full version of that please!!!??

[@theblackmantbm]

I found you guys by accident. But it was th e best accident ever. Love the music.

[@ARISENPH0ENIX]
