Today, Eidos-Montreal released a developer insights video that showcases the inspiration and talent behind Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.

Speaking of the rock soundtrack, Steve revealed that he unexpectedly brought together a brand new rock band to create the score of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The story behind the formation of Steve’s band is inspired by the game itself, as Peter Quill takes the name “Star-Lord” from his favorite band of the same name. Steve set out to create Star-Lord, the band, in real life. An entire album was recorded for the game, featuring original songs celebrating the rock and roll, dysfunctional nature of the Guardians family.

These songs are mixed with other licensed pop songs from the 80s in the game’s unique Huddle feature. Players can press Star-Lord’s cassette player to recall specially chosen 80s songs to inspire the Guardians in their battles. Some tracks include music from Iron Maide, KISS, New Kids on the Block, Rick Astley, Hot Chocolate and more!
