It's said that the devil has the best tunes, and that certainly seems to be true with the Big Bad Bosses, a fictional band composed of gaming's most sinister baddies - all appearing under aliases to avoid any kind of copyright nastiness.
There's Ronix (Dr Robotnik), G-Cash (Ganondorf), Sephy (Sephiroth) and Big-Bow (Bowser), and each one is voiced by a famous video game personality. Alex Faciane (The Dex and Super Beard Bros) is Ronix, Satchell Drakes (Satchbags Goods) is G-Cash, Nathan Sharp (Nate Wants To Battle) is Sephy and Jirard Khalil (The Completionist and Super Beard Bros) is Big-Bow.
Shovel Knight composer Jake "virt" Kaufman is the man behind the music and lyrics, and the band's debut album - entitled Power Overwhelming - features guest performances by Banjo Kazooie composer Grant Kirkhope, Mint Potion's Dale North and others.

It's pretty amazing.
That was surprisingly good.
Pretty cool all around. I love Jirard.
'Noughts and Crosses flashbacks intensify'
Guys. It's "Jirard" not "Jirdard". You spelled it wrong in both the subtext and the article so I assume that it's not a typo, but rather you misread your source.
@TeeJay Yay I'm not the only one who noticed that!
Why do they all have broken wrists in that image? : /
Not my kinda jam but gush darn it, that's one line-up! Not so much from the band itself but of guest appearances. Arin, MatPat and most importantly Grant Kirkhope, my personal hero. Also, I really like the work of the animators. Not their best work but I like it nonetheless.
Nicely done and pretty catchy too. ^^
As an artist and a nitpicker- Hands cannot do that (Top thumbnail)
Didn't even notice the hands until I read the comments.
Anyway, that was fun, though Bowser was weird.
Nice song.
Also, I like Ganondorf with glasses.
That was pretty cool.
Sephiroth? Really?
sniff sniff I smell corn...
That's really cool and well done, but like I was worried about, I checked the iTunes link and some of the songs are explicit...
Man I can't stand checking for lyrics...
Well, for having so many wonderful, talented people being behind this, it's a shame that it's so very... meh.
I might buy this just because of Jake Kaufman. I love Shovel Knight's soundtrack!
And more of trying to shove crappy villain Sephiroth in everyone's face instead of Kefka who is the superior villain in every possible way and never gets mentioned or brought up when people think of "Squaresoft villain", like they should.
Ugh..
0/10.
Fantastic. Good Stuff.
