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

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)

I'm sure one of the reasons that they have cracked down on swearing is that it's impossible to tell what age everyone else, not to mention the ages of those that visit the site but don't comment. I'm 20 and don't a goo ole' cuss, but I get why they're doing it.

don't mind a good...*

dang it.

God, Superchunk would be great. Or Superdrag. Or Supergrass.

F>U>C>K

I cheated the system!

There is actually a Supergrass song in LEGO RB. I can't remember the name, but it's a pretty good one.

My snare is one of Ex-drummer Chu(n)ck Garrison's snare drums.

Dude is definitely no Jon Wurster, but that is still hella awesome.

Fucĸ?
FUCΚ?

No homo, but I love me some Anberlin

Like how Rock Band tied in the track releases with Easter. While I haven't heard much from these bands (though I'm slowly getting into them) I think it is pretty sweet to see some Christian music in Rock Band.

To all those budding militant atheists out there ready to flame this thread, grow up, and give them a listen, you'll not automatically be converted, and they aren't as bad as you probably think they are.

They actually have been pretty tame and nonexistant so far aside from "gee this is shitty music" or "who are these people?". They really can't say much anyway. If you don't know they are Christian bands, you probably wouldn't know it listening to most of these songs. Maybe that's why they have such mainstream appeal.

What? Switchfoot isn't on the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. I don't even think it was in the movie. Their "Sooner or Later" was on the Elektra soundtrack.

...

I don't know why I know that either.

It wasn't on the US soundtrack, but it was in other contries and even got a music video

Whoa, mind slightly blown.

shit

lol. Huh...maybe it just doesn't like it when *I* swear.

Just saw Skillet in concert....Monster is an awesome tune! Can't wait!

Needs more Faith + 1.

@Dustin Seriously. Anyone who doesn't think Puppet by TFK shouldn't be included in Rock Band really needs to rethink their love of music. ;)

stoked on that anberlin song

I love SKILLET!! I wish they would've done "Awake and Alive" instead though...

Cool Christian Rock... Would like more Switchfoot but I guess this will do.

I could totally go for Origin of Symmetry (that being my favorite) as a full-album download.

"Jesus seriously can we get some god damn Muse in this game?!"

Good choice of words for the Christian music coming for Easter.

Anberlin!!!! finally they are on RB

Feel Good Drag is a cool song.. they play it here all the time, surprised not many have heard it..

I like the band selection but the songs could have been better. I was thinking "The Show" for Hawk Nelson, "Stand up" for Superchick, and "Comatose" for Skillet, but these are a good start, I guess. I'll probably get them in hopes they put more on here later.

YOU JOYSTIQ FOLKS NEED TO GO TO CHURCH......KINDA DISAPPOINTING THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHO THESE BANDS ARE.....YOUR MISSING OUT!

Shhh...you'll wake the trolls!

This makes me want to buy Rock Band just so I can download these songs. It's great to see some Christian bands getting some more exposure!

I love Skillet!! Gah, Monster is great, but it would be even cooler if they put something from Collide.

These are all Christian artist. Great to see that Rock Band is spreading it's already huge fan base!

I have cds by all of these artists. I am really considering buying all of them. I just wish they were all coming to Singstar, since that is the game I play more often with my wife.

I'd love to see more stuff from the likes of Project86, Demon Hunter, Living Sacrifice, The Showdown, Soul Embraced, & Becoming The Archetype.

Im SO happy that Anberlin is on RB now. They are one of my favorite bands ever and really deserve more attention. Also, anyone who doesen't listen to bands because they fall under the "Christian Rock" genre label is really missing out. These are all amazing bands. ESPECIALLY Anberlin.

i have been waiting for anberlin to come to RB for SOOOO long. Score!

I was pushing for Anberlin to be on Rockband and they finally are! Still its a decent start to see christian rock on Rockband. I would of loved to see POD on Rockband maybe someday.

Oy... Christian rock. More tracks to not download. /meh

Switchfoot does not like to be labled as a christian band. Although they are all very christian their music is not praise and worship. They want their music to reach out to the larger community and like anberlin they do refer to christ in some songs but they want their music to be enjoyable to anyone and everyone.

@Eh Christian bands can be christian and not preachy! You obviously arent christian so you dont know. Well just cause they arent shoving it in your face doesnt mean they dont strongly believe in God, not all of us are pushy. But thanks for the stereotype!
