Rockband’s catalog of downloadable song gets a little more indie with Young The Giant’s “My Body”, revives an 80s classic with the B52’s “Love Shack” and goes a little nu-metal with “Not Again” from Staind’s 2011 self-titled album.
All three of these tracks will be available on July 17th and are priced at $1.99 (160MSP) individually and $0.99 (80MSP) for the optional pro-guitar upgrade.

Politically charged Rock legends Rage against the Machine head to the Rock Band Store this week for both the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Network. Three tracks are now available for each version, included in the Rage Against the Machine pack are “Killing in the name of” from RATM’s self-titled 1992 album and “Sleep Now In The Fire” and “Bombtrack” from 1999’s The Battle of Los Angeles. Each track also has an optional PRO Guitar add-on should you own that peripheral.
Personally, The Battle of Los Angeles is one of my favorite albums by RATM. I still listen to it every so often and even though it is over a decade the mix of Rap & Tom Morello’s excellent guitar work sound great even into the 2010s, through in the Orwellian inspired lyrics and you have a dystopian winner of a record.
Each track is priced at $0.99 USD (80 Microsoft points) or $5.50 (440 MSP) for the three song pack
