Rock Band Music Store Gets Three New Songs Long After Weekly DLC Ended

Nearly two years ago, Harmonix closed a significant chapter in its history by ending weekly Rock Band DLC. But like Charlie B. Barkin from All Dogs Go to Heaven once said, you can't keep a good dog down. Surprise, surprise: Harmonix has announced a brand-new song update for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 tomorrow, January 13.

The three songs are "R U Mine?" by Arctic Monkeys, "Shepherd of Fire" by Avenged Sevenfold, and "Something from Nothing" by Foo Fighters, and as always, they are $1.99 each. The songs are compatible with Rock Band 3 as well as Rock Band Blitz, the digital download that plays more like Frequency or Amplitude.

Harmonix said way back when that new songs weren't ruled out, but I doubt anyone expected  such a sudden reemergence after 21 months of slumber. Maybe we'll get another song set in two more years!
