Survive (band)

Survive (often styled S U R V I V E) is an electronic band consisting of Michael Stein, Kyle Dixon, Adam Jones and Mark Donica formed in 2009 in Austin, Texas. The Austin-based quartet have been producing synth-heavy, horror-score-influenced compositions for almost a decade, exploring these themes through drum machines and analog synths across various single, EP and LP releases and contributions to soundtracks such as acclaimed indie horror film The Guest.[1] The band gained wider fame after members Dixon and Stein composed the musical score for the Netflix series Stranger Things.[2]

gollark: I see. I don't really agree with that view, since there actually is a decent amount of new non-computer tech, and you're also saying "excluding very fast growth in a highly impactful area, we haven't had progress".

gollark: If so, gotify.
