Chicago, one of the most successful rock bands ever, adds three tracks to the Rock Band music store next week. From Chicago albums 2, 4, and 10 come "Make Me Smile," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," and "If You Leave Me Now."All the tracks will also earn double coins for Rock Band Blitz player.
Rock Band Weekly: Sheryl Crow, Save Ferris, Three Days Grace
Next week's Rock Band DLC offering brings the elusive ska track DLC to the game, with Save Ferris' cover of Dexys Midnight Runners' 80s classic "Come on Eileen." Also available is Sheryl Crow's breakthrough hit "All I Wanna Do" and a single from Three Days Grace.
Rock Band Weekly: Billy Squier, Flock of Seagulls
This week's Rock Band Weekly theme is silly '80s hair – from the "how did he do that?" hairdos of Liverpool's own Flock of Seagulls frontman, Mike Score, to the flowing mane of curly locks atop Billy Squier's head.
Rock Band Weekly: 311
The next batch of Rock Band DLC is a beautiful disaster, but don't be down about it, because amber is the color of your energy. To put that another (less stupid) way, 311 will make its Rock Band debut on October 2.
Rock Band Weekly: Green Day five-pack with single off latest album
Green Day is back for its third round of Rock Band DLC next week, featuring "Oh Love," the first single off their new album ¡Uno! The other four tracks in the Green Day five-pack were previously only available through Green Day Rock Band.
Rock Band Weekly: The Offspring, Smash Mouth
The Offspring and Smash Mouth bring some individual tracks to the Rock Band music store next week. The Offspring track, entitled "Days Go By," is actually the title track off their latest album. Smash Mouth has a pair of more classic '90s tracks with "Why Can't We Be Friends" and "Can't Get Enough of You Baby".
Rock Band Weekly: Matchbox Twenty
Next week's Rock Band DLC twists time through Matchbox Twenty's career. The first track, "Bent," comes from the band's early years and off their second album. "How Far We Come" is from 2007, and "She's So Mean" is from their latest album, North.
Rock Band Weekly: The Black Keys
Three Black Keys songs will be available as Rock Band DLC next week. Don't be fooled, however: you'll totally need to push the white keys, too. And the green, red, yellow buttons, etc. Very tricky.
Rock Band Weekly: Foreigner, Nightwish
You ready to power ballad? I said, are you ready to power ballad?! Well, then you've been waiting for DLC like this. Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You" will be available as Rock Band DLC next week.
Rock Band Weekly: Hoobastank, Cutting Crew, Whitesnake
In the still of the night, I hear the wolf howl, honey, sniffing around next week's Rock Band DLC. Whitesnake's "Still of the Night" is on the docket for the next Rock Band Music Store update, along with hits from Hoobastank and Cutting Crew.
Rock Band Weekly: Killswitch Engage
On Tuesday, a trio of Killswitch Engage tracks will be available for download in Rock Band, which should help even out the game's ratio of singers to guys who scream a bunch.
Rock Band Weekly: Foster the People, The Strokes
The Rock Band Music Store will feature two tracks from Foster the People next week, but neither is the one you're thinking of. "Helena Beat" and "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)" will be available as DLC next week, while the band's hit track, "Pumped Up Kicks," will be available as part of Rock Band Blitz in August.
Rock Band Weekly: The B-52s take Staind and Young the Giant to the Love Shack
Next week's Rock Band 3 DLC is a bit on the eclectic side, catering to rock fans and ... people who like The B-52s.
Rock Band Weekly: Daughtry
Daughtry, while relatively new in the music scene, has garnered multiple Grammy nominations and has four hit singles. Now the ultimate milestone: being featured as Rock Band DLC.
Rock Band Weekly: All-American Rejects, Mudvayne, Rise Against
In honor of Independence Day, next week's Rock Band DLC features a band with "All-American" in the name! And ... some other stuff that makes that seem more like a coincidence than an Independence Day observation!
Rock Band Weekly: Carrie Underwood
Karaoke nights may start with the heartbroken ballads of Adele, but once the Chablis flows like the Seine, it's time for Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" to enter rotation. Next week's Rock Band DLC includes three feisty tracks from the country artist.
Rock Band Weekly: Angels & Airwaves, Owl City, Queens of the Stone Age
This week brought only a single song to Rock Band, Incubus's "Drive." Next week, Harmonix takes the opposite approach, with a random grab bag of tracks from three different bands. You're statistically more likely to find something you like there!
Rock Band Weekly: Florence and the Machine, Cracker, Midnight Oil
This week, Rock Band brings us not only Florence, but also The Machine. Specifically, we get Florence and the Machine's popular jam "Dog Days Are Over." In addition to Florence's mechanical musings, we also get Cracker's "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now) and Midnight Oil's "The Power and the Passion."Cracker's track offers pro bass and guitar expansions, and both the Florence and the Machine and Midnight Oil tracks support the Rock Band 3 keyboard.
Rock Band Weekly: Bullet For My Valentine
A "Bullet For My Valentine" may sound like a really terrible gift for anyone that doesn't collect antique minié balls, but it's actually the name of next week's featured band over in Rock Band DLC world.The aptly named "Bullet For My Valentine Pack 01" features three songs spanning three albums, including 2008's Scream Aim Fire, which we're not entirely sure is an accurate or trustworthy set of instructions for properly operating a firearm. Remember kids, always consult your physician before taking advice from Welch heavy metal bands.
Rock Band Weekly: Iron Maiden
The "Maiden Epics" pack of Iron Maiden tunes coming to Rock Band next week has things that sound like they wouldn't be metal, but are, in fact, totally metal.Like "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Sounds like some old epic poem, right? Well, it is epic in that sense, as well as in the sense of being thirteen minutes long.
