Rock Band Weekly: Anberlin, Hawk Nelson, Skillet, Superchick, Switchfoot & Thousand Foot Krutch

by Alexander Sliwinski on Apr 2nd 2010 10:33AM

Next week's Rock Band DLC features a mix of bands. Although music afficionados may recognize several of the tracks, the only one that jumps out at us is Switchfoot's "Meant to Live" ... and the only reason for that is because it's on the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. (Gawd, we are such nerds.)

All of next week's tracks will also be available in Lego Rock Band. Check out the full release list after the break.

Xbox 360 / Wii / PS3
Available: April 6 / April 8 (PS3)

Anberlin – "Feel Good Drag" (160 / 200 Wii Points / $1.99)

I think the Rock Band craze may be slowing down, no?? I haven't played mine in months!

maybe a bit, but its nowhere near dead. I've played rock band every day this week.

It's slowed down for many reasons. A few I would say is all the amazing releases that have come out and are coming out, we don't get the chance to play it. I never have time to sit down and play it myself. The only times are maybe once a week when getting drunk with my wife and buddy.

Slowed down?! We just got Lady Gaga for crying out loud!

START ROCKING!

I'm guessing that RB3 will provide a shot in the arm. That being said, I personally play RB whenever I can. A large group of people generally helps.

Frets on Fire is garbage.

I don't know about Anberlin, but all the other bands are Christian bands. I guess it's the Easter Rock Band Pack?

Anberlin is also Christian.

well i was like finally since im Christian now i wonder if my ps3 will blow up if i buy it on its next to the devils music hahaha i should of never bought the lady gaga track pack

Punctuation my good man! For the love of God, use it!

C'mon, Harmonix! Why add Christian bands and not feature Relient K? Blasphemy!

It's all songs from Christian bands...why the hell isn't there any Chevelle?!

Where the heck is Relient K?!?!?

I'm glad Anberlin finally gets some GH/RB love, and Feel Good Drag is a great song to show them off.

Anyone else think a Christian rawk-band easter week tie-in is a bit "icky"?

Nope, Anberlin is a fantastic band. The others I don't really listen to. But Christian rock isn't what it used to be. Go listen to Underoath!

Shuh. Bart Simpson said it best, "Everyone knows all the best rock bands are affiliated with Satan."

Nothin' like church approved Rock N' Roll.

If this is Christian Rock Band week we need more The Hold Steady.. thank god we got Sequestered in Memphis on the RBN!

I doubt the songs they selected are overtly christian themed and if they wanted to be in-your-face about it they could have gone with Stryper. But as talented as those guys are it wouldn't bother me at all considering they were the only christian metal band that other metal fans could actually tolerate.

Uh, hey Joystiq. These are all Christian bands. Might be why you don't recognize many of them. But they're some of the bigger Christian rock bands out there.

If anyone wants a Code for the Lost Planet 2 Beta....Here is one.

NHLD-DNBC-F9JB

This Code is for the PS3 Version.

Would have liked to see some Emery in this pack.

Agreed.. If they put up The Weak's End on RB (along with support for multiple vocals which is a must for Emery) I might actually start playin it again

This may be the first week in Rock Band history that I've never heard of any of the artists...

I've only heard of Switchfoot, because that song was actually quite big.

I don't recognize the band or song by name but it's certainly possible that I've heard it before.

that is really sad

Ditto. Apparently, they're all Christian rock bands, which probably explains it for me. I hate being preached to.

Every band you like is a band that at one time you'd never heard of. Judge them on their music. Go to Youtube and check out some Switchfoot. They're a really, really good band. And they're not 'preachy'.

I agree with nd15c, Judge a band by their music. And some "christian bands" just may surprise you with their style and music. Underoath for example is not a typical christian band. And although the members of Anberlin are christian and they have a few christian refrences in some of their songs, they are not a christian band.

I will be getting "feel good drag" for sure and probably "meant to live" and "fire it up".

If they arent preachy then they arent a christian band. Christian rock is a genre and it has to be preachy to be considered christian rock. The christian music industry keeps trying to find new ways to get people to listen to them, their latest strategy is to use regular music that doesnt preach so they can get people to christian music festivals where they can preach in other ways. These bands are probably just christian music festival bands that dont play christian music.

Highly recommend Switchfoot, awesome band! But I wouldn't say they're a Christian band, at least, not their newest stuff. Their songs often have a deep message which may be linked to one 'facet' of Christianity but they never openly try and preach to you; words like "God" or "Jesus" aren't used. Like nd15c said, judge them by their music, their recent singles Mess of Me and The Sound have nothing at all to do with religion.

Who? Who? and Who? I think next week's releases just confirmed my decision to buy the whole Hendrix pack this week.

I personally never got into Hendrix (I'm not a guitarist so technical noodling/soloing never really interested me,) but I get why people like him. These bands, though? Not so much.

I bought a few songs off of Axis, but what I'm really waiting for is Electric Ladyland.

There's an acoustic version of the Anberlin song that was recorded for a local radio station that's a lot better than the original. It's not a bad song though, I might pick it up. Don't recognize any of the others by name though.

Like I said on Destructoid, I hope they release "Open Wounds" or "Savior" by Skillet. Some songs by Red or more by Flyleaf would be nice too...

Awesome, getting TFK and Skillet for sure!

Yep, these are all Christian crossover-type bands. None of them are Jesus-y, though. I've actually seen all of them except Switchfoot at some point or another in my misspent youth!

Sad that the Anberlin and TFK songs are new. Not to sound douchy, but their old stuff is way better!

Not douchy at all, new TFK sucks
They should've picked something from Art of Breaking or Phenomenon, not that I buy Rock Band songs, but I wonder why these companies tend to pick the less liked songs.

I know RB gets emails and stuff, but who requests the bad(or not as good) songs THAT much?

This is all Christian rock stuff. Weird. Or...they started off Christian. Maybe they're born again Satanists.

Not to be a total dick, but Meant to Live wasn't on Spiderman 2 (though wikipedia says it was on the song page but not the album page)! Either way, still was a great song. That and Feel Good Drag I'll have to pick up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5BvhlHFO8w

It wasn't on the US soundtrack, but it showed up in other countries

touche!

Sweeeeet I'll at least be picking up 3 of these!

I almost crapped my pants when I thought that said "Superchunk." Then I realized that it was something that I'd never heard of and is most likely terrible.

STOP PUTTING UP TERRIBLE SONGS, ROCK BAND!

Also, are we not allowed to cuss on here any more? Every time I do, I get one of those "You Did It!" banners and then my comment never shows up. We're all adults here (I think,) what's with the censorship?
