In January, Harmonix launched the tools needed for artists to publish their songs on the Rock Band Network. Today, the Rock Band Network Store opens to the public, with more than 100 new songs for fans to purchase and play.
The Rock Band Network Store is now online, with new track from artists ranging from 3 Inches of Blood to Zack Wilson now available for download. New tracks will be debuting on the Xbox 360 on a regular basis, with 30 days of exclusivity. A subset of standout tracks from the Xbox 360 will be made available to those playing on the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, which answers a question Totilo had when he previewed the service back in August.
"The response to and interest in the Rock Band Network has been even greater than we originally expected," said Alex Rigopulos, CEO and co-founder of Harmonix Music Systems. "We're very excited about the number of bands and labels who have geared up to participate in the Rock Band Network, as well as the number of enthusiasts who have signed up to participate in the Peer Review and Playtest processes."
Check out Totilo's article for a good overview of the process involved in getting your music onto the Rock Band Network Music Store.
Below you'll find the full day-one track listing for the Rock Band Network Music Store. See anything you like? I'm going to be playing Jonathan Coulton and Flogging Molly all day long and you can't stop me.
