MTV's (parent company of Harmonix) President Van Toffler is quite stoked at the move, explaining: "Green Day not only rock hard, but are also epic storytellers. Their message and their music have been the voice and sound of this generation."
The Green Day barrage will start on July 7th with three tracks - "21 Guns," "Know Your Enemy" and "East Jesus Nowhere" being released as downloadable content. Obviously the excusivity of the deal will mean that there will be more in the pipeline for the trio with "additional Green Day songs and projects" to be announced for Rock Band at a later date."
In other Rock Band news, it looks like the DLC catalogue will expand with another dose of Spinal Tap, as well as the Rock Band debut of the haunting vocal stylings of Amy Lee, with Evanescence DLC also arriving next week. The tracklisting for these new DLC packs are as follows:
Spinal Tap Pack
- Spinal Tap - Back from the Dead
- Spinal Tap - Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare
- Spinal Tap - Saucy Jack
- Spinal Tap - Warmer Than Hell
Evanescence Pack
- Evanescence - Bring Me to Life
- Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober
- Evanescence - Weight of the World
As per usual, each track will be available individually for a small sum of 160 Microsoft Points (approximately AUD $2.45), with the four-track Spinal Tap bundle priced at 560 MS Points (approximately AUD $8.60) and the three-track Evanescence Pack available for 440 MS Points (approximately AUD $6.80).
This round of DLC will be making its way onto Xbox 360 on Tuesday, (June 16) with a PlayStation 3 release following on Thursday (June 18).
