Only two of the band, Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, composed the Stranger Things soundtrack. They have admitted that there wasn’t the budget to employ the full band, with Mark Donica and Michael Stein missing out. Dixon and Stein will perform selections from the soundtrack at Unsound festival in Poland on October 22.

The Duffer Brothers, the writer-director duo behind Stranger Things, found S U R V I V E via Spotify. Dixon told NME of composing the soundtrack: “We spent about a month and a half doing demos every night after work, just writing new stuff, finding old recordings that we thought might work and sending it over to them so they could pitch to producers.”

S U R V I V E have previously played alongside the likes of Tame Impala, Lightning Bolt, A Place To Bury Strangers, Goblin and This Will Destroy You.

S U R V I V E will play:
Manchester Deaf Institute (February 21)
