The latest addition to the forthcoming The Rise of The Synths companion album is Dallas-based Mega Drive!  His music has been described by some as more on the brutal end of the synthwave spectrum.  “He is best known for the epic track ‘Total Control’… Mega Drive takes the raw Retro-Electro sound and pushes it to new limits, constantly testing boundaries.” (NewRetroWave).

The Rise of The Synths (Official Companion Album) EP1 drops on May 1 exclusively on Bandcamp via Lakeshore Records!  Details are coming soon, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
