Nine songs for Rock Band this week News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

30 November, 2008

December's first Rock Band downloadable content is a pick-and-mix of single tracks from a broad selection of groups and a couple of efforts from Naked Brothers Band, Harmonix has said in its regular DLC update.

There's even a free track - "Headphones On" by Miranda Cosgrove - alongside songs from Children of Bodom, Finley, Platero y Tu, Squeeze, Tokio Hotel and The All-American Rejects, with the latter six tunes at a cheapo 80 Microsoft Points (GBP 0.68 / EUR 0.96) or USD 0.99 on PSN for one month.

All nine tracks will be made available through Xbox Live Marketplace on 2nd December and on PSN from 4th December, all are based on master recordings, and as usual all work with both Rock Band and Rock Band 2. See below for the full list and pricing:

Tracks available this week:

  • Children of Bodom - "Are You Dead Yet" (80 MSP / USD 0.99 for one month)
  • Finley - "Tutto E' Possible" (80 MSP / USD 0.99 for one month)

The reason these tracks are cheap or free is simple...they are all bollocks.

It's about time they transferred some decent rock albums over to this game methinks......

Miranda Cosgrove and The Naked Brothers bands are all from TV shows on Nickelodeon! I know this cos my kids watch them, honest!

Seriously though, I can't believe its taken this long for songs from Kids TV shows to be made available as DLC. I know its not everyone's cup of tea of course, but thats the beauty of choice - and they are bound to be a moneyspinner, surely - with gullible parents buying the tracks for their kids...

So lets see stuff from High School Musical, Camp Rock, The Jonas Brithers and Hannah Montana please!

People must have heard of Squeeze before. "Cool for Cats"? Jools Holland's old band? No? The singer on that Squeeze song is Paul Carrack... who later went on to sing for Mike & The Mechanics.

I take it back - somehow I've managed to miss 'Tempted' by Squeeze tucked away in the mediocrity. That's a nice song. Not amazing, but it's got some good memories.

I'm guessing that's sarcasm considering Doolittle, The Colour and The Shape, Blood Sugar Sex Magic and most of Nevermind are available as DLC.
