Game Theory was an American rock band that originated in 1982 in Davis, California. They quickly gained popularity and their music was widely played on student-run university radio stations. Game Theory was one of the pioneering bands in the "college rock" genre during the 1980s.

Their unique sound and catchy melodies drew inspiration from a variety of genres including power pop, jangle pop, and alternative rock. With thought-provoking lyrics and infectious hooks, *Game Theory* captivated audiences with their distinctive style.

Influenced by bands such as Let's Active, Tommy Keene, The Loud Family, and The Three O'Clock among others, *Game Theory* created a sound that resonated with fans across the nation. Their music continues to inspire artists today and remains a testament to their lasting impact on the music industry.

The final recordings from the last Game Theory line-up featuring Michael Quercio (The Three O’Clock). LP contains 14 commercially unissued tracks (one previously included on a fan club only release) and CD adds 10 more previously unissued tracks. Packaging contains photos, liner notes &amp; remembrances from members of Wilco and Guided By Voices Throughout the 1980s, the California based Game Theory was one of the most original (and critically acclaimed) indie-rock bands. Their blend of ’60s and ’70s pop influences such as Todd Rundgren and Big Star coupled with a post-punk energy led to a string of diverse albums—nearly all produced by Mitch Easter of Let’s Active. For the past several years, Omnivore has painstakingly reissued each and every one of their original albums with the addition of a slew of unreleased bonus tracks. Across The Barrier Of Sound: PostScript is the album that might have been at the time. There’s a blend of home and studio and live recordings. Songs that many fans haven’t heard unless they were lucky enough to catch a live show at the time—and some songs which reappeared in significantly different form on the debut album from Scott Miller and Jozef Becker’s post-Game Theory band The Loud Family, Plants And Birds And Rocks And Things. Miller uniquely blended classic pop songwriting with groundbreaking art-rock influences, which is reflected in home recordings of Brian Eno’s “Needle In The Camel’s Eye” and The Nazz’s “Forget All About It”.
