In the game

Sound tells you who owns the street. Static turf is scrappy, pirate-radio and genre-hopping. Cleanline's cordons are sterile, compressed and jingle-adjacent. Each district gets its own cue, from boardwalk surf rock gone slightly wrong on the pier to a foghorn low end in Rust Cove, and the main theme runs through all of it.

Musicians who'd like to be part of it: skate punk and pop punk at 170 to 190 BPM, a live band in a room with the edges left in, and no ska. Get in touch through Sam.
