Interstate '76 Music

Local Ditch > Interstate '76 > Music

Music is one of I '76's signature features. To capture the spirit of the '70s, a band was put together to record 70 minutes of funky music for the game. A group of veteran career and studio musicians consisiting of Arion Salazar (of Third Eye Blind fame) on bass and keyboards, Tom Coster (Santana) on keyboards, David Shul on guitar, Les Harris (The Ritz) on horns, John Bendich (Starpoint) and Brain (Primus, Godflesh, Guns & Roses) on drums created the funky soundtrack under the name Bullmark.

Notable Notes

  • The band's inspiration? Cop shows and porn.
  • Van Halen was recording nearby and Eddie dropped by during the Bullmark sessions.
  • Many songs are an "homage" (to put it nicely) to a classic funk or R&B pieces.
