If you’re a fan of pop punk that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and you enjoy robots, you really owe it to yourself to check out the modrats. I’m glad I did; Huzzah is right up my alley in terms of the type of music I’ve been listening to since high school.

Rock Band goes back to the ’80s this week to present a six-pack of epic tracks from Iron Maiden.

Paramore’s third album, Brand New Eyes, released in 2009, and today Rock Band brings three of its tracks into your download library.

Richie Branson, he of the Star Wars: The Old Republic and Gundam Wing mixtapes, wants to bring nerdcore to a wider audience.

A trio of music acts present this week’s downloadable content for Rock Band. Starting today, you can pick up one track each from Eddie Money, Train, and Yellowcard.

In anticipation of Wordburglar’s upcoming album, 3rdburglar, ‘Burg has released a video for the single, “Rhyme O’Clock.” I’m only familiar with Wordburglar from Backburner’s Heatwave album, so I’m looking forward to hearing this album. This track really whets my appetite.

’80s hard rockers Cinderella are featured on Rock Band this week with a downloadable three-pack of tunes, the first tracks Cinderella has had in the game.
