More Surprise Rock Band 3 DLC Released, Complete With Cryptic Titles

February 18, 2015

For the second time in as many months, Harmonix released brand new songs for Rock Band 3 as DLC, and fans of the series may want to take particular note this time around.

Last month, Harmonix, the studio behind the Rock Band franchise, surprised fans with new DLC tracks from Arctic Monkey, Avenged Sevenfold, and Foo Fighters, calling them a “special treat.” Today, Harmonix treated fans again with two new tracks, this time from Weezer and Tenacious D.

Marketing manager Aaron Trites, coyly called the tracks “awesome songs with great titles.” That's because the titles may be a subtle (or not-so-subtle) hint at a franchise revival in the eighth generation – the Weezer song is “Back to the Shack,” and the offering from Tenacious D is “Rize of the Fenix.”

It may be time to get the band back together.

I'm currently based out of Las Vegas, NV (no I don't gamble all the time or live in a hotel on the strip) but I'm a So Cal kid through and through. I'm a Nintendiehard -- I stand by my man -- but I'm a fan of games no matter what the console, including Steam. RPGs, fighting, and action/adventure are my fortes. Give me a great story and characters any day. Call of Duty? I guess, if that's your thing. Classic Final Fantasy and Zelda? Now you're cookin' with gas!

When I'm not gaming, I like culinary adventures, moviegoing, and the Intert00bz. Ask me about my favorite web shows! I can get down on some anime, my favorite sports are boxing and baseball, and I can even get in tune with that parapsychological vibe, even though it's well-known and well-documented I'm kinda a pansy with horror stuff. (I think they get a kick out of assigning me those games for review.)

I'm also single and available, but sorry gamer girls, I play with joysticks.
