Rock Band Weekly: X, Carrie Underwood, Little Fish, Ace Frehley, OneRepublic

Despite American punk rock band X being next week's featured Rock Band DLC pack artist, we decided to go with a picture of Carrie Underwood. Why? Isn't it obvious?! Her single, "All-American Girl," available next week, speaks to the struggles of the middle-class American female. Of gender roles, a father's love and providing babies for your husband. It's like the "American Pie" of a new generation. So that's why Underwood gets featured with that "how do I spend my next million, y'all?" look.

Check out the full release list after the break.

Hey baby.

"Come to Butthead."

Who the hell is X?

A punk band from the 70's.

A big punk band from the 70's. Surprised you've never heard of them. Tons of people cover their tracks.

I saw them with Pearl Jam maybe 6 years back.

Just a shame Gilkyson and Alvin left =\

X is bad ass!

Fell in love with Los Angeles from GH: Rocks the 80s

Forget X, how about more X Japan?

And wasn't X a LA Hair Metal band, or are there just that many bands named X?

@Rocketboy

You're my new friend. More X Japan, but please during Hide's involvement.

I'd never heard of them either, I put it down to I'm not American..

If Otis Redding hadn't been released twice content ago, I'd be shaking my fist. The past couple track releases have been less than stellar.

Cartman Poker Face = Definition of Stellar

I've seen it. Great parody of a song, but it's not something I want to play on RB.

I got 5 stars on Lady Gaga's Pokerface expert vocals and got 3 on on Cartman's.. it was pretty tough haha

I think they are purposely releasing shit on the main market to bolster sales numbers for Rock Band Network. As quickly as it is filling up it will have more content than the main store in a matter of months.

I was wondering why they picked this song, but if it's her newest single that'd explain it. I would've expected "Before He Cheats" and "Cowboy Casanova" to round out a three pack.

I remember Rock Band.

Me too, I can't believe we ever though a simon says rhythm game was a good idea. We all must have been on heavy drugs.

X! One of my favorite bands from growing up in L.A. in the 80's, and one I've been hoping to get into Rock Band from day one. "Los Angeles" was in GH: Rock the 80's, so I knew someone at Harmonix was a fan. A full song pack is more than I'd ever expected, and all these songs are X classics. Now if we could get some tunes from Los Lobos and The Blasters in there, my three favorite L.A. bands of the era would be covered. As a bonus, a Knitters song, like "Poor Little Critter in the Road" would rock.

I'm a Rock Island Line fan, myself.

"I've got rhythm piiiiiigs..."

"I got all livestock!"

Yeah, that song would kick ass, as would "Walking Cane" or "Wrecking Ball," and I'd love to play the lovely guitar part to "Silver Wings"... Hell, they should just do the whole album.

Wish they included "Motel Room in my Bed" but this is def good news!

those four X songs are great, but where's "Adult Books"?

Carrie Underwood is a hot country slut!

I went to college with her. She's more than a slut of the hot country variety, if you know what I mean. *nudge nudge*

Where did you guys go to college, Oklahoma State?

Northeastern State University. Medium sized college in NE Oklahoma.

Oh right up by Tahlequah right? I bet you float the Illinois right? I am in OKC BTW.

Yes to all those things. Though not much floating. Have friends like to get drunk and fish. Makes for not so much a fun trip.

The story in my family is that X's John Doe was my uncle's old college roommate back in California. While he's not the looker that Carrie up there is, his country albums are a hell of a lot better.

I certainly have a thing for blonde girls, but I just don't find her that attractive. :/

Shouldn't these posts start including new releases for the Rock Band Network too?

I haven't found a place that lists them yet.... You can't even view/purchase them from the dashboard rock band app on the 360. I hate having to throw in rock band just to see if anything good has been released...

Take a look at the RBN list from rockband.com and arrange it by date to see the new ones.
http://www.rockband.com/music/dlc/rbn
New tracks show up here before they show up in the games store and they have links to purchase them on xbox.com

Also try this twitter feed for new RBN tracks.

Hope that helps.

Flight of the Conchords are on there!

"Then we're in the bathroom brushing our teeth
That's all part of the foreplay, I love foreplay."

Also has a Facebook. (Hope this link works)

Please Harmonix, can we get some Refused and At the Drive-In soon? or Sparta and Mars Volta even?

Maybe you're going to surprise us all and release A Shape of Punk to Come and Relationship of Command as full albums...and then you'd *really* be my BFF.

Wasn't One Armed Scissor in one of these games?

Yes! Some Mars Volta or ATDI would rock my socks off!

I saw Little Fish when they supported Alice In Chains back in December. They were awful to say the least

Woo! Alice in chains!

I just want Flogging Molly and KMFDM to come over from the RBN to the PS3/Wii RB.

I'm carrying underwood right now!

Upvote for awesomeness.

Sooooo how do they handle the N-word in the lyrics of "Los Angeles".....

los angeles. done deal.
