Now that’s a bit of a jarring juxtaposition. Next week’s Rock Band releases include five tines from vaguely gothy, vaguely emo-ey, alt-rock band AFI…and one from squeaky-clean ’80s hitmakers The Bangles.
First, the heavy stuff:
| AFI | Beautiful Thieves | ![]() |
|
| AFI | End Transmission | ![]() |
|
| AFI | Love Like Winter | ![]() |
|
| AFI | Medicate | ![]() |
|
| AFI | The Leaving Song, Pt. II | ![]() |
And then we have the single.
| The Bangles | Walk Like an Egyptian | ![]() |
This is the only track from this week’s offering that’s available in Lego Rock Band’s family-friendly music store, which leads me to wonder if we’re going to be seeing more mixes like this in the future. After all, this week we got the shocking one-two punch of the White Stripes and SpongeBob Squarepants. I’m wondering if Harmonix is going to be aiming to satisfy both audiences from here on out.
Anyway, the songs hit next week, at the usual times. All the singles come at the usual $2 rate, but you can pick up the whole AFI pack for $8.49, or 680 Microsoft Points.
