Rock Band DLC For Week of 5-15-2012

Paramore Group Shot

Next week’s Rock Band DLC will be highlighted by emo pop-punk band Paramore with a trio of tracks, though most will probably be more interested in the band’s lead singer, Hayley Williams, than anything else. That is perhaps a discredit to everyone else in the band, but at the end of the day, it gives them all widespread recognition over anything else. As we all know, that’s what matters in the music biz these days, right?

Paramore’s not really my bag of tea, but there are a ton of Rock Band fans, so I’m sure this group will cater to quite a few people out there. It may not be nudie pics of Hayley (you can Google that yourself), but at least it’s something, right? Read on below to see the details on what Paramore tracks will be on display as DLC next week!

In 2009, Paramore released their third record, Brand New Eyes, to critical acclaim and chart-topping success. Three tracks from the album, which held strong on the Billboard 200 for over 30 weeks, are coming to Rock Band on May 15th!“Ignorance,” the first single from Brand New Eyes, leads off the three-pack. It’s followed by the second single off the album, the aggressive pop-rock track, “Brick by Boring Brick.” Finally, the emotional ballad, “The Only Exception,” closes out the pack. A Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade for the song – the band’s most commercially successful single to date – will be also available.
