Biography

Voonic2 is a Canadian chiptunes rock band from Montreal-Quebec, formed in 2019. The band consists of NazoNo (bass guitar, chiptunes and drums programming) and aRtPG (vocals and guitars). Inspired by bands like Anamanaguchi and Yellow Magic Orchestra, Voonic2 fuses beautiful chiptunes with powerful guitar riffs and melodic bass lines to create a mix of modern and nostalgic tunes.

What started as a solo project by NazoNo around the year 2011, is nowdays one of the best chiptunes rock bands from Quebec. Each of their concerts presents a story from beginning to end and their energetic songs will make you want to jump and dance while feeling like you’re inside an old school video game.

Voonic2 has been part of several well known Video Game Music (VGM) and Anime festivals like BonusStage (Canada), ÑoñoParty (Chile), Otakuthon (Canada) and VGMCon (USA) and they have shared the stage with great VGM artists like Bit Brigade, Game Genie Sokolov and Mega Ran.

Their love for VGM has pushed Voonic2 to participate in several projects in the video game industry: they had the opportunity to create the full soundtrack for the mobile game King Cashing and their song "Zombie Attack" was included in the game Depths of Insanity.

The band released their debut EP called "D.T.U." in March 2021, which Bandcamp Reviews described as “A product with good old video game vibes on a smooth rock foundation”. On May 2023, they released their first album called "Knights of the Multiverse", a compilation of 9 songs from different periods of time of the history of Voonic2.
