Lakeshore Records releases Steve London's score for Bank$tas. Life could not be better for best friends Neal and Isaac. They just graduated college and landed their dream job with a top investment bank. But when they discover their boss is planning a crooked student loan deal, their lives are thrown into turmoil. Determined to stop the corrupt plan, they concoct a crazy scheme of sex, drugs and espionage resulting in a wildly chaotic adventure...

Steve London's score for Bank$tas contains 18 tracks (28 min, 21 sec). It also includes the track 'Now or Never' performed by iSH, which opens and closes the album. It's a bit of a quirky score, and certainly not one I'd want to listen to for pleasure.

The music seems to be mainly comprised of "doing stuff" themes; the sort of music that accompanies someone looking for something or trying to fathom something out. While normally this would be fine, when it makes up the majority of the music on offer it soon gets a little repetitive.

It's a pretty forgettable collection of themes. I'm sure in the movie they work well. It's just that when listened to on their own merits, the music is very patchy.
