New tracks hit ‘Rock Band 3’ next week

Though it’s hard to deny that the Rock Band franchise is dwindling in popularity, EA and Harmonix are still working to keep the series relevant. Their latest attempt comes in the form of New Year DLC tracks for Rock Band 3, as revealed at Rockband.com.

Releasing Dec. 30 for Xbox 360, Jan. 2 for Wii, and Jan. 8 for PS3 will be four hit tracks from four different artists. The tracks are as follow:

• “Party Hard” – Andrew W.K.
• “We Are Young” – Fun. ft. Janelle Monáe
• “Tonight Tonight” – Hot Chelle Rae
• “Raise Your Glass” – P!nk

The four songs will be available for $2 each, and are compatible with all Rock Band instruments, including keyboards. Apart from integrating into Rock Band 3, the songs will also be available for Rock Band Blitz.
