Unreleased Tracks - TV Theme Stuff

There's a bit of a stylistic variation today, in that these tracks are mostly unreleased since we did them for various projects that never came to fruition. But I wanted to release them all together, because they share a common source: they're all related to TV Theme Songs! Years before we did the theme for The Goldbergs, we were working on projects for other shows (most of which didn't end up going anywhere).

• "Sunny Afternoon" - This cover of the classic Kinks song was something we made for a project that was actually in development at HBO, but never ended up getting picked up. The direction we got was "Sunny Afternoon" but more like a rock opera, intense and a bit sexy. We had WAY too much fun making this.
• "Rockford Files Theme" - This actually came to us through Atlantic back in 2010, in our early days of working with them. We were told they were rebooting the classic TV show Rockford Files, and they wanted us to do a take on the classic theme. The reboot never ended up happening, and we honestly probably wouldn't have gotten picked regardless, but this was still a blast to make.
• "ESPN SportsCenter Theme" - We were invited to do this theme cover as part of a marketing program at ESPN, where they asked a few artists to do covers and then had the audience vote on them. I don't remember what the results were, but I still love listening to this cover. We also made a video using classic NES sports games that turned out to be way too copyright-infringey for them to use xD
