Rock Band: Country now, Pearl Jam soon News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Oli Welsh

15 December, 2008

Harmonix has confirmed that this week's Rock Band pack rustles up five country music numbers - and that Pearl Jam's debut album ten is on the way.

Grunge growler Ten, which we vividly remember thinking was the best album ever for a couple of weeks in 1991, will be released in March next year. That's according to 1up, which heard about it from a "casual exchange" at last night's Video Game Awards on Spike TV.

Ten features hit singles Even Flow and Jeremy, as well as Alive, which already forms part of the Rock Band 2 track listing.

In other Rock Band downloadable content news, this week's pack - available on Tuesday for 360 and Thursday for PS3, as usual - is a selection of five country music songs:

  • Brad Paisley - Mud on the Tires
  • Brooks & Dunn - Hillbilly Deluxe
  • Dierks Bentley - Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)
  • Dixie Chicks - Sin Wagon
  • Miranda Lambert - Gunpowder & Lead

We only listen to old country music - and after a memorable Halloween visit to Nashville a couple of years ago, we intend to keep it that way - so this list means nothing to us. Sorry. Enjoying the titles though.

Pricing is 160 Microsoft Points for a song or 680 Microsoft Points for the pack on Xbox Live. Check back later in the week for confirmation of PSN pricing, as it's been a bit variable lately.

Can I just say that Pearl Jam's - Ten kicks the pants off of Nirvana's Nevermind. Yup I said it.

That pricing sure ain't right. It's 160 MS Points per song.

As for the two posters above me, I totally agree.

Great news on "Ten"

Terrible news on the stuff released this week. Oh well, I could do with not spending the money I guess!

I've never really listened to much Pearl Jam, but I can't imagine not picking this up after tracks from various rhythm-action games.

A nice wee Pearl Jam RearViewMirror Best of would have been a bit special but Ten will do.

Was please to see Jesus Christ Pose released the other week until I tried to play expert drums. BadMotorFinger would be a brilliant download if nearly impossible to enjoy for the average player.

Judge me if you want, but Mud On The Tires is the song tempting me to finally give in and buy Rock Band...
