Sunday night Bassheads’ ears perked up as they heard the first notes of “Now” off Nectar’s latest album Noise Vs. Beauty during a Super Bowl commercial for The Fast and The Furious 7.
There were some who yelled “sellout” and “hypocrite” which we feel may have been a little misguided considering this is not the first time a Bassnectar song has been used for a commercial purpose.
So we did some digging to look for other examples of Bassnectar songs being used in commercials and this is what we were able to find.
“Magical World” – 2011 North Face Commercial
“Above and Beyond” – 2011 North Face Commercial
“Feeling Good” remix – The Haves and the Have Nots
“The 808 Track” – Breaking Bad Season 4 Episode 4
(Not technically a commercial but too good to not be included)
These next three aren’t necessarily commercials but they are other examples of Bassnectar songs being used commercially.
