History

Power Glove were formed in Melbourne as the electronic music, synthwave duo (under pseudonyms) of Michael Biehn and Michael Dudikoff.[3]

The duo's music gained widespread attention with the track "Hunters" featured in the 2011 Canadian independent film, Hobo with a Shotgun and the track "Vengeance" was used in the 2012 film, The ABCs of Death. Their first extended play, the four-track EP 1 (aka So Bad), was released in January, 2012. Tracks by the group have appeared in various artists' compilation albums.[4][5]

Michael Langley of CraveOnline website described how Dean Evans of Ubisoft contacted the group, "it was like 'Hey, I'm Dean, I'm from Ubisoft Montreal. I totally wanna get you to score a game.' And they're like 'Ah, fuck off. This has got to be a joke.' I'm all 'No, no, no, it's totally real!'"[6][7] The duo provided the soundtrack to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (April 2013), which is a 1980s-influenced retro-futuristic video game.[6]
