Survive (band from Austin, TX)

Survive (often styled S U R V I V E) is an American electronic band formed in 2009 in Austin, Texas. Its members are Kyle Dixon, Michael Stein, Adam Jones, and Mark Donica. Dixon and Stein compose and produce as a duo and are best known for composing the score to the Netflix series Stranger Things, which brought them wider recognition. The band produces synth-heavy, horror-score-influenced compositions using drum machines and analog synthesizers across a range of single, EP, and LP releases. Survive contributed to the soundtrack for the indie horror film The Guest. The band gained wider fame after members Dixon and Stein were hired to compose the musical score Music of Stranger Things for the Netflix supernatural horror hit series Stranger Things. Both volumes of the soundtrack were nominated individually for the Best Score Soundtrack Category for the 2017 Grammy Awards, though neither won. 2017 saw Dixon and Stein also nominated for an ASCAP award as a result of their soundtrack work. In September 2017, Dixon and Stein won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music for their work on the Stranger Things theme. 2017 has also seen the band curate the music for Sensory, a multi-dimensional immersive restaurant experience' at Sugar Hill Mountain Festival in Melbourne, Australia.
