There's been something of a trend when it comes to using old-school game cartridges as delivery methods for music – we've recently seen the "brutal party slam band" Party Cannon publish an album on an N64 cart, for example – and Nottingham-based alt/emo group Pillow Fort has followed suit on another Nintendo platform.
"We just announced our debut album Indefinite, but not Forever, releasing on October 2nd via our own label, Cushion Castle, and to accompany it we've developed a fully playable Game Boy Advance rhythm game," the band's founder, Ryan Crick, tells us.
"The game features all 10 songs from the album, recreated as GBA-style tracker music and turned into playable levels," Crick adds. "It plays a little like Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution and will be available digitally on release, as well as a limited run of 30 physical cartridges."
Crick originally formed the band in Leicester (not far from the Hookshot Media office, in fact) before relocating the outfit to nearby Nottingham, and has taken on the lion's share of the workload with this unique venture.
"I've been building the whole thing myself," Crick explains. "Including the development, music and art, over the last year and a half. It felt like a great addition to the album campaign, as the music's largely about growing up, life-changing, and moving on. Not sure I could be more on the nose than to build a tie-in game on my favourite childhood-nostalgia console."
Pillow Fort's latest single, Robots Vs Wrestlers, launched last week, and another single is expected ahead of the album's full release this October. You can check out the video for the band's previous single, Codename Kids Next Year, below.
