Not hard as in difficult, per se, more hard as in heavy. As in, we've got some heavy rockers to add to our roster.

First is the deceptively light alternative metal of Sweden's Daas Bosh. Sure, the acoustic guitar and piano of "Eternal Divine Angel Death" give it a softer sound, but look at that title! That's heavy, man.

....Okay, not buying that? How about the Zeppelin-inspired garage rockers The Virginmarys? We're bringing their recent free iTunes single "Bang Bang Bang" to the game as well. And that's a song that hits as hard as its title implies.

We just can't help ourselves. We've added three groups to our roster in the last few days, all of them with plenty of 80's influence. Which is great to us; we've all been really influenced by the 80's here.

First up is RBN veterans Bright Midnight. While other teams work on their older material, we'll be bringing "A Hotel in Saigon" from their newest album to the game.

Next up is a pair of groups featuring UK songwriter John Brandon. We're bringing "I Thought I Knew You" from Those Among Us, and "Falling Apart" from BSM, to the game.

Well, it's more like yesterweek. Yesterweek? Yester....

At some point in the past, Mississippi's Yesternight's Decision joined our roster, with "Dying Wish of a Living Man". These guys pretty much had to come to Rock Band eventually, since they owe part of their existence to Harmonix in the first place- their bassist, Brad, took up the instrument because of Guitar Hero.

See? Playing these games is good for something.

This is a little too big for a simple news post. You'll want to go here for the full press release.
