April 8, 2008 8:36 AM

MTV Games has confirmed to Shacknews that the new tracks contained within the European edition of Harmonix's multi-instrument music title Rock Band will be released in North America as downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 iterations.

As revealed this morning, the UK release of Rock Band will pack nine new songs:

Blur "Beetlebum" (English)
Oasis "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (English)
Tokio Hotel "Monsoon" (English)
Muse "Hysteria" (English)
Les Wampas "Manu Chao" (French)
Playmo "New Wave" (French)
Die Toten Hosen "Hier Kommt Alex" (German)
Juli "Perfekte Welle" (German)
H-Block X "Countdown to Insanity" (German)

The company has not yet revealed pricing details or a date for the North American release of the content, though common sense suggests it may coincide with the European debut of Rock Band on May 22.

  Subject to opinion....Beetlebum is one of Blur's best crafted songs and the strongest opener on any record to date in my opinion. It's a fantastic song with tons of layers, wonderful lyrics and songwriting, I mean what do you want? As a huge blur fan picking that song is like nailing a jackpot. Beetlebum is also one of the few tracks that I've found non-blur fans and strangers of the music liking instantly across the board. Just my .02 but worthy of saying.
