Today some songs for Harmonix‘s upcoming XBLA/SEN title were released, bringing the total up to 15 (out of 25). Is this enough to get you to buy the game yet? Let’s find out.
Rock Band Blitz will include:
- All-American Rejects – “Kids in the Street”
- Barenaked Ladies – “One Week”
- Collective Soul – “Shine”
- Elton John – “I’m Still Standing”
- Fall Out Boy – “A Little Less Sixteen Candles”
- Iron Maiden – “Wicker Man”
- Living Colour – “Cult of Personality”
- P!nk – “Raise Your Glass”
- Shinedown – “Diamond Eyes”
- Tears for Fears – “Shout”
These songs join the previously shown songs:
- Blink 182 – “Always”
- Foster the People – “Pumped Up Kicks”
- Great White – “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”
- Quiet Riot – “Metal Health”
- Rick Springfield – “Jessie’s Girl”
Keep in mind that with the purchase of Rock Band Blitz all of these songs will be playable in Rock Band 3 instantly. So what songs are you looking forward to?
Additionally, a list of powerups that can be used in Blitz was also revealed:
- Shockwave – sends out a wave that scores on all notes it touches
- Bottle Rocket – explodes and clears notes it hits on tracks
- Point Doubler – 2x points
- Bandmate – takes over a track and plays all notes for you
- Jackpot – play absolutely perfect to earn 3X points, but flub up and lose it all
- Pinball Note – keep a pinball bouncing to clear touched notes
- Blast Note – blows up any notes it touches
- Synchrony – switches tracks without breaking your note streak
- Flame Note – burn everything with fire to keep
- Runaway Note – chase a note to get a bonus
No release date or price has been announced yet. What are your thoughts? Are you more interested in the game itself? Or will you be treating it as a large track pack for the main Rock Band series?

I can provide you with in-game captures of the song information/preview window (in Rock Band 3) and answer other questions if you’d like, short of who I am and how I have access to the files.
I can also tell you that the songs will be released in one pack, called Rock Band Blitz Soundtrack, weighing 766MB, which downloads directly to the Rock Band 3 folder.
I prefer to keep my identity anonymous but can provide you with proof of any of the above.
I first sent this information to Joystiq and let them know that unless I heard back from them by today at noon I would share the news with other gaming sites. I am sending this to other sites. It’s up to you who publishes it first.
If you’re interested, I can also help you expose some other “inconvenient truths” that Harmonix so vehemently tries to keep under the rug, like what the true purpose of Title Update 5 was (hint, it wasn’t for the “features” it came with).
