Play that geeky music...

Music is an essential part of our everyday lives. Whether it's turning on the radio in the car on the way to work or putting on some music as you clean up your room, a little bit of music helps.

For geeks like me, sometimes we need a little different sort of inspirational music to help us cope with certain things. I now present to you some tunes of that variety...

LeetStreet BoysLeetStreet Boys regard themselves as an Otaku band and basically, that's what they are. With songs called "Yuri The Only One" and "Hikikomori", it's hard not to immediately associate them with Japanese culture. Even more so, with lyrics that reference anime characters like Sasuke and Light Yagami. (If you have read all of that and did not get one single reference, you are NOT an otaku) It's just catchy, fun, pop music with an otaku twist. This one's for the crazy fan girls out there. KYA!

Kirby Krackle

A nerd-rock band hailing from Seattle, Kirby Krackle takes the stuff you like in comic books and popular culture and puts it into song. Ranging from geeky love songs about a Super Powered Girlfriend and even a song called "On and On" which explains the feelings of Wolverine himself in a way that makes you feel for him. Oh and they even have a parody of 'Candy Shop' called Comic Shop. Also I would totally do all the things that have been stated in this next song... Probably.

Adam Warrock

Mixing hip hop and pop culture together is a pretty exciting thing and this guy does it pretty darn well, doing it independently and with a great amount of passion. He's released a few different eps dealing with different shows from 'Parks and Rec' to 'X-Men'. A particular favourite of mine is his work called "Paperman", sampling the music to the disney short of the same title. It's a poignant piece that nicely sums up the short. However, since 'Man Of Steel' is coming out soon, I'll leave you with this little number...

So... do you know any other bands or artists of this variety that I should check out? I'd love to hear about them, comment below!

Love,
