Mystery Song in ROG Ally Trailer
The launch trailer for the ASUS ROG Ally handheld gaming device appears to feature a cover of Bruce Springsteen‘s 1984 hit, “Dancing in the Dark.” While neither the trailer’s description nor representatives for potential performers have confirmed the artist, the vocal style strongly suggests Springsteen, according to Pitchfork.
Speculation initially centered on indie rock band Geese, who recently released their album Getting Killed on September 22, 2023, and performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Though, neither Geese nor their representatives have acknowledged any involvement with the trailer’s music.
Brian Eno Ruled Out
Despite composing the iconic Windows 95 startup sound for Xbox owner Microsoft, Brian Eno is unlikely to be connected to the ROG Ally trailer. In May 2024, Eno publicly denounced Microsoft’s collaboration with the Israeli government and donated his fee for the Windows 95 sound to aid people in Gaza, demonstrating a clear stance against the company.
Geese’s Recent Activity
Geese’s latest album, Getting Killed, was released on September 22, 2023. Following the album’s release, the band also released a music video for their song “In the Land of Cocaine.”
