With tomorrow being the day the US became independent from France ... what, England, really? Anyway, Harmonix announced its tracks for next week's
Rock Band DLC a day early. We've got a couple songs from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rush. "Working Man" was actually
released as DLC before, but this version is a master and features an alternate solo.
Individual songs (160 MS points/ $2)
- "Snow (Hey Oh)" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- "Tell Me Baby" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- "Closer to the Heart" - Rush
- "Working Man" (Vault Edition) - Rush
Check out the videos for these songs after the break. The tracks will be available for download next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively.

The Rocker, starring Dwight from
The Office. HMXSean also hints that there should be some "news-type-stuff" being announced on Monday -- what (or
who) could it be?*

*Honestly, we have no idea what it is. We're just joshin' about the Who's Next thing because it's just gotten so ridiculous at this point.Continue reading Röck Band Weekly: Accrüe the awesöme Crüefest DLC

This, this may actually be the weirdest
Rock Band Weekly ever. This week we get a combo platter of Jimmy Buffet and Disturbed. Our brain actually gave up for the rest of the week on this news, so we've really got nothing else left to add. But, we have pulled out the crushed ice and lime juice and are ready to waste away the weekend. This gives us hope that one day we'll get Abba Gold as a DLC album. Harmonix, make it so!
Two packs: Buffet (440 Microsoft Points / $5.50) and Disturbed (240 MS points / $3)
- "Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffett (160 MS Points / $2)
- "Cheeseburger in Paradise" - Jimmy Buffett (160 MS Points / $2)
- "Volcano" - Jimmy Buffett (160 MS Points / $2)
- "Indestructible" - Disturbed (80 MS Points / $1)
- "Inside the Fire" - Disturbed (80 MS Points / $1)
- "Perfect Insanity" - Disturbed (80 MS Points / $1)
Videos for these tracks can be found after the break (one Disturbed video may be NSFW). DLC will be available next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively.

This ain't a scene, it's a
Rock Band Weekly update post. Next week the band that people argue whether it's emo or not, Fall Out Boy, adds its song "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" to the music store. Don't lie, when it's on the radio while you're driving you sing along. Actually, all the songs sound like fun if you're in a non-snob music mode.
Scene pack (440 Microsoft Points / $5.50)
- "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" - Fall Out Boy (160 MS Points / $2)

As usual, the tracks will be available next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively. Videos for the songs are after the break.
