The weekly Rock Band DLC train doesn’t stop.  This week Harmonix is offering four songs, three from artists you’ve probably never heard of and the fourth from a band that might sound familiar.  The top three bands from 2007’s Dew Circuit Breakout, presented by Mtv2, are available in the aptly titled “Mtv2 Pack” for the “I’ve never heard of these bands before, but for that price I can’t resist” price of 240 MSP/$2.99 USD for all three or they can be purchased individually for 80 MSP/$0.99 USD.

For an extra bonus, they are providing a track by Maximo Park for the standard fare of 160 MSP/ $1.99 USD.  Track listings to follow: Read More…

According to Toki Post, at the ”Xbox 360 Presents Rock Band Live” event in France this weekend, Maxïmo Park frontman Paul Smith, who was a judge at the event, is known to be a big fan of Rock Band.

While talking about the game, he let it slip that their song “Girls Who Play Guitars” from their album “Our Earthly Pleasures” will be available for download from the Rock Band store on June 10th.

“We have an Xbox 360 with Rock Band installed in our rehearsal studio in Newcastle and it’s great for thrashing out some amazing songs,” explains Paul. “We can’t wait until our fans can do the same with Girls Who Play Guitars.”

Until this is confirmed by Harmonix, this is classified as a rumor, though it sounds pretty legit to me. Hopefully we’ll see a Brit Rock Pack next week that includes some more similar bands like the Arctic Monkeys and the Kaiser Chiefs.
