Rock Band DLC Additions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 system
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’s Sonic 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, 2012):
• Arctic Monkeys – “R U Mine?â€
• Avenged Sevenfold – “Shepherd Of Fireâ€
• Foo Fighters – “Something From Nothingâ€
Price:
$1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU per song
(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system January 14th)
** Dates for Rock Band game tracks are tentative and subject to change. **
It’s been about 21 months since the end of weekly Rock Band DLC, so this comes as a surprise. Although, Harmonix has been teasing about a possible return of the franchise on current gen consoles for a while now.
