You'd think that six fairly talented young musicians would find something better to do with their time than record (and release) a six-track EP consisting totally of covers of TV/movie themes?

Think again.

Hill Valley Preservation Society has done precisely that with faithful versions of The Muppet Show, "Bowie's Magic Dance" (from Labyrinth), Diff'rent Strokes, an Action TV theme set of Magnum PI/A-Team/Simon & Simon/Knight Rider/Night Court, Fraggle Rock and last but not least, the eight-bit combo of Legend of Zelda & Super Mario Bros.

If that interests you even in the remotest way, then check out this EP. The novelty factor will only go so far.
