Survive (often styled S U R V I V E) is an electronic band consisting of Michael Stein, Kyle Dixon, Adam Jones and Mark Donica formed in 2009 in Austin, Texas.

Band

The Austin-based quartet have produced synth-heavy, horror-score-influenced compositions for over a decade, exploring these themes through drum machines and analog synths across various single, EP and LP releases.

''The Guest''

Survive contributed to the soundtrack for the indie horror film The Guest.{{Cite web|url=http://filmmusicreporter.com/2014/09/05/the-guest-soundtrack-details/|title='The Guest' Soundtrack Details|website=Film Music Reporter|access-date=2017-04-10}}
