The Week in Rock (Band DLC): B-52’s, Faith No More, Kiss

The veil of secrecy has been lifted from this week’sRock Banddownloadable content, and theInternet has met the newswith an overwhelming “meh.” From theofficialRock Bandforums:

This week at $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) we have-

Battlefield 6 aiming RPG at a helicopter

“Roam” by the B-52’s

“We Care A Lot” by Faith No More

“Calling Dr. Love” by Kiss

Another Kiss song isn’t surprising, but the inclusion of the B-52’s pop hit, “Roam” is a complete curveball. Say what you will about the song, but it’s nice to see that Harmonix aren’t afraid to deliver content that doesn’t necessarily fall into the traditional “rock” category; it’s songs like these that will keep your non-gaming, non-rocking friends into the game for hours.

I’m also happy to see that Faith No More’s “We Care A Lot” has finally made its way toRock Band. I had a psychic vision that I was somewhere playingRock Bandand that this was one of the playable songs. In my psychic vision, I didn’t get a chance to play the track; it’s unclear whether or not this is the Mike Patton remake recorded live at the Brixton Academy, or if this is the Chuck Mosely original.

If anyone has any idea what the hell I’m talking about, then we should go grab a beer. You’re buying.

[Update: Harmonix’s Sean Baptiste informs me that the version of “We Care A Lot” is likely the originalIntroduce Yourselfalbum version. As if anyone but me cared.]
