“The music it’s definitely infused in the DNA of this game, the guardians are pretty much a rock-and-roll band. They are a band of misfits that found each other and have a common goal. With guardians, the music goes beyond what a normal score and soundtrack would do. It’s like rock-and-roll, man! It’s the sights, it’s the sounds, it’s the smells. The ones who get it, they get it here.”
