Ontario grunge rock duo cleopatrick have rolled out a new song called “Family Van,” and wouldn’t you know it, the song will appear on their forthcoming album Bummer, June 4 via Thirty Tigers / Nowhere Special Recordings.
Watch the visualization below:
According to the band’s members, friends, guitarist and vocalist Luke Gruntz and drummer Ian Fraser, their sound is born out of a love of AC/DC’s Back In Black. You might hear it. I’m not sure everyone will, but you might, if you listen closely. This isn’t the really big news about their new track “Family Van” though. The real showstopper is the fact that they’ve also released a game to go along with it. Use these snes cheats if you love playing Super Nintendo games.

Gruntz explains why they decided to release their new single with a game below:
“Growing up, Ian and I were always playing video games. I have countless memories of our childhood sleepovers spent drinking root beer, listening to music, and shredding through some newly rented title from the local Blockbuster. We loved these shared digital adventures, always grinding through “one more level” – until we realized our eyes were red and the sun was coming up. Those were some of the best nights.
After this whack last year, we felt like both ourselves, and our friends could really use a little piece of that juvenile escapism we enjoyed so often in our youth. And so we made ‘FAMILY VAN: THE GAME’. It’s an 8-bit adventure for all ages and it’s a dose of much needed escapism. It’s a nod to those innocent childhood nights, a vehicle for our new single, and most of all; it’s just dope.”
