BACK FROM THE GRAVE! Harmonix Releases Three New Songs For ‘Rockband’!

The proverbial nail was put in the figurative coffin of Rock Band and their DLC services, way back in April of 2013. Even though the Music Store was never actually taken down, gamers FREAKED and started hoarding all the music they could, in fear that their purchased tracks would be gone gone gone. Well, today Harmonix announced THREE NEW TUNES available Tuesday.

After a brief hiatus (cough21 monthscough) we’re releasing brand new Rock Band DLC tomorrow! New tracks from Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, and Foo Fighters will hit Xbox 360 and PS3 on Tuesday 1/13. Check out the full press release below for additional details, and we’ll update this thread with answers to frequently asked questions as the week goes on.

 

We’ve missed rocking with all of you. 🙂

On Tuesday, January 13th, new music from Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, and Foo Fighters will hit the Rock Band Music Store!

 

“R U Mine?” marks the first appearance of the Grammy Award winning Arctic Monkeys on the Rock Band platform. From 2013’s critically acclaimed album AM, “R U Mine?” – with its

driving riffs, syncopated rock beats, and memorable hook – is perfect for Artic Monkeys’ Rock Band debut.

 

One of the most fan requested artists, Avenged Sevenfold, makes their return to Rock Band with “Shepherd Of Fire.” The track comes from the band’s sixth studio record, 2013’s Billboard chart-topping Hail to the King.

 

Foo Fighters’ “Something From Nothing” from the band’s latest, 2014’sSonic Highways, will also be available for download. Heard in the opening sequence of the hit HBO music documentary series Sonic Highways, directed by Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl, “Something From Nothing” topped the charts when it was released last October.

 

Available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 system (January 13th, 2015):

• Arctic Monkeys – “R U Mine?”
• Avenged Sevenfold – “Shepherd Of Fire”
• Foo Fighters – “Something From Nothing”

 

Price: $1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU per song

(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system January 21)

This brought up an interesting point. Event though Harmonix said they were stopping DLC, they never took the Music Store down. It’s always fun to see the panic train a-goin.

Looks like I’ll be dusting off my 360, scouring for a guitar, and gonna grab a big ole’ bottle of whiskey!
