 I recently played through SteamWorld Heist and it's a darn fine game I highly recommend, but I left it with a rare for us musical recommendation. I thank the game for introducing me to “Steam Powered Giraffe”. These guys are great and I get the vibe that if you're into what I write, you'll probably like their works too. They post most of their songs on Youtube, so go check it out!

 The SteamWorld Heist soundtrack is more twangy and a lot of fun:

 Heist Ho!, Prepare For Boarding, What We Need Are Some Heroes, The Vast Frontier, and The Stars were all written for Heist, I believe, and are great every one of them.

 The music video for The Stars is just so goofy and lovable:

 And check out Star Scrap to see just how crazy on point Rabbit's mime game is:

 The whole band is just stupid adorable!

 And they have lore! So much lore! The Vice Quadrant is a space rock opera!

 Fire Fire is the best song about astronauts burning to death that I have ever heard and I went out and bought it and have just been playing it on repeat for too long.

 For lighter fare, the music video for GG's song is pretty much a requirement:

 Seriously, they have lore and it's so good!

Got introduced to Steam Powered Giraffe the same way you did. After hearing the song in the bar I had to find out who made the song. If you haven't listened to it already, "I'll Rust With you" is one of my favorite songs, and "Ice Cream Parade" is goofy fun.

Check out "The Cog is Dead" too. They're a similar style band as Steam Powered Giraffe. Lots of different styles of music, and they've done a song together too as well.

That was pretty great, thanks for the recommendation. A couple of the tunes of the songs kind of reminded me of The Mariner's Revenge if you've ever heard that song.

I felt Steamworld: Heist rather outstayed its welcome with me ("Enemies have 12HP! AHA! A gun that deals 4 damage! But now the enemies have 16HP! AHA! A gun that deals 5 damage! etc."), but the soundtrack was pretty sweet.
