Nirvana DLC for Rock Band this week News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

20 October, 2008

Harmonix has announced that a seven-song Nirvana track pack will be released for Rock Band 1 and 2 this week.

All seven songs are from Nevermind - the album that was either promised or suggested as Rock Band DLC over a year ago depending on your point of view.

Anyway, the seven songs are "Breed", "Lounge Act", "On a Plain", "Polly", "Something in the Way", "Stay Away" and "Territorial Pissings".

Given that the first Rock Band already has "In Bloom" and Rock Band 2 ships with "Drain You" on the disc, that just leaves "Come as You Are", "Lithium" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" unaccounted for. Unless you count secret track "Endless, Nameless".

The seven-track pack will cost 880 Microsoft Points (GBP 7.48 / EUR 10.56) on Xbox Live and USD 10.99 on PSN for the lot. Individual tracks cost 160 MSP (GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.92) on Live or USD 1.99 / GBP 0.99 on PSN.

As with Rock Band DLC in general, the Xbox Live versions will be released tomorrow, Tuesday 21st October, with the PSN versions following on Thursday 23rd October.

Rock Band 2, which is out in the US already, has yet to be given a release date in Europe, but we keep hearing whispers about November - as reportedly mentioned on a recent British TV advert.

Check out our Rock Band 2 US import review to find out if it's worth getting excited about.

"that just leaves "Come as You Are", "Lithium" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" unaccounted for."

That'd be the ones that cost the most to licence then. Nice work!

Correction, that'd be the ones that the music label (i think it was Geffen who published nevermind) are holding back on to make more money from a 3song pack for 3x the normal price!

Haven't listened to that album for ages. You tend to hear Smell Like Teen Spirit a little too often, so it'll be nice to get more work out of the other tracks.

Or of course there's the possibility that these three songs could be part of the 20 free DLC tracks that they've said they will release soon after RB2 comes out...

Fat chance.

Well at least Lounge Act, my 4th favourite track off the album is on there. Come As You Are better be coming eventually.
