Weekly Rock Band DLC: B-52's, Faith No More, Kiss (Updated: Now Available via XBLM)

21
Update: The below songs are now available to Xbox 360 players through the online Xbox Live Marketplace.

Original Story: Owners of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions of Rock Band will be able to download three new tracks this week, developer Harmonix revealed on the game's official message board.

This week's tunes are Kiss' "Calling Dr. Love," Faith No More's "We Care A Lot," and "Roam" by the B-52's.

Each will sell individually for 160 Microsoft Points ($2) on the Xbox Live Marketplace, where they are slated to arrive Tuesday, February 5. As usual, the PlayStation Store should receive the songs in its weekly Thursday update at the traditional $1.99 price point.

Harmonix has yet to detail any of the remaining downloadable content for February, though it has issued a tentative list of songs pegged for March, including Metallica's "Fuel" and Nine Inch Nails' "March of the Pigs" and "The Perfect Drug" along with more tracks from Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden, and many others.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

        Look how wrong you are! I don't think Faith No More HAS a terrible song.

          All FNM songs with Chuck Mosely are terrible. I thought everyone pretended Chuck Mosely era FNM didn't exist. Seriously, why couldn't we get something from Angel Dust instead?

            Well, Mike Patton DID re-do a version of We Care a Lot, but I'm not sure exactly which version is in Rock Band (I've been too busy building robots to play Rock Band). Anyone know if this is Patton, Mosely, or a cover?
