8-bit Revival are a band from Dayton, Ohio, active from 2001 to the present. Initially, they were called The 8-bit Revival, but shortened it after their debut EP. Despite being around for over twenty years, their sound has been fairly consistent, always being some mixture of emo pop, post-punk, and indie rock with plenty of influences from pop punk, post-hardcore, and math rock, though the post-punk would become increasingly prominent in time. After releasing an EP and two albums between formation and 2010, the band would change their name to Oh Condor after getting tired of being mistaken for a chiptune outfit. As Oh Condor, they put out an EP in 2012 and then went dark for almost a full decade before releasing another LP in 2021. Despite the name change, the band still lays claim to all their former work as 8-bit Revival, rereleasing the albums under the Oh Condor name with slightly altered artwork.
Since the band is still active and their music is readily available, I'm putting up only one of their albums, 2006's Under the Fairweather, their first full-length. Everything else can be had through Bandcamp.
