Loving these "Get to know your GrooveTroop" artist reels since it gives us a chance to ask hilarious questions. Note that many of our artists believe King K. Rool listens to metal or specifically Limp Bizkit 👀

After several months of incredible arranging, editing and producing, I am thrilled to share 16 songs from Donkey Kong Country and more ALL in modern progressive metal stylings! I had the pleasure of co-directing me and playing a bunch of guitar, and couldn't be prouder of my crew!
From jungles to the oceans, snowy mountains to pirate ships... Konged Loose takes on Donkey Kong's historic game soundtracks to modern blistering metal and exciting progressive-metal heights. Available now on Bandcamp as a download and CD!
