Rock Band DLC For Week of 10-2-2012

311

Alternative rockers 311 are the focus of next week’s Rock Band  DLC, with the band having three of their songs released as additions to the music library. If you were a child of the 90′s, or just listened to the radio during that decade, then you may recall their 1995 chart topper “Down”, which was rather popular at the time. If you need a refresher on that particular song, you can view the music video for it below:

Known for their tight sound that seamlessly blends rock, funk, rap, reggae, and more, 311 has long been requested by Rock Band fans. On October 2nd, the band makes its debut on the Rock Band Music Store with three of its biggest tracks!

The chart-topping track that pushed the band in to the mainstream spotlight in the mid-90s, “Down,” kicks off the three-pack. “Beautiful Disaster” from 1997’s Transistor and the reggae-tinged “Amber” from 2002’s From Chaos flesh out “311 Pack 01”! All of the tracks can be purchased as part of the pack, or individually; an optional Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade will also be available for “Down.”

Additionally, during the week of the release of “311 Pack 01,” Rock Band Blitz players will earn double Coins any time they play any of the three tracks from the pack!
