With two EPs, including last years Welcome To The Breakdown, under their belts, I Fight Dragons are finally set to unveil their debut full length. The onomatopoeically titled Kaboom! is set for an October 25th release from Photo Finish/Atlantic. Produced by Matt Mahaffey (Beck, Tenacious D), the album was created not only with traditional rock elements, but also by using old video game soundcards – hence the term chiptune.

The album has some very fun songs that become very catchy, probably the mixture of the modern rock sound mixed with the Nintendocore.
