Henry Homesweet

Henry Homesweet is a machine fueled by Guinness. He teleported back from Skynet HQ in the year 2029. After a grinding campaign between man and machine, the human resistance was on the verge of victory; in a last-ditch effort, Skynet sent Henry Homesweet back in time to kill Sarah before John was born, preventing the resistance from ever being founded and (presumably) allowing the machines to win by default.

Minusbaby

Long-time 8bitpeoples member, minusbaby, born Richard Alexander Caraballo in New York City, trades in counterpoint, subtle dissonances and surprises. While it may be impossible to predict what will happen at each performance, one constant can be expected: a forceful equatorial beat. Each familiar song is given new variation while the center holds it down with a bassy bottom end to make anything bump and bounce that hasn't been tied down, exploding the very meaning of 8-bit orchestration.

Superpowerless

Superpowerless is 20 year old electro artist Oliver Hindle from
Leeds (England). In Oliver’s own words, Superpowerless is ‘Game Boy-fueled adventure-core’ but is probably easier to describe as video-game influenced electro-pop with pop punk guitar. He started out playing drums for a number of small high school pop-punk bands, which never got to gigging stage. He then learned guitar and started writing solo songs while playing in bands with friends. Oliver was then introduced to electronic music which would influence his musical direction.
