Harmonix kicks off June’s Rock Band Music Store releases with a selection of three singles that assure there’s something for everyone when the tracks drop on June 5th.
“Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)” from alternative rock group Cracker kicks things off. The single comes from the band’s 1992 self-titled debut record, and peaked that year at number one on the Billboard’s U.S. Modern Rock Tracks.
When Florence + the Machine released their debut record, Lungs, in 2008, it quickly became one of the year’s most popular releases. “Dog Days Are Over,” the multi-platinum second single from Lungs, hits the Rock Band Music Store on June 5th.
Finally, Australia’s Midnight Oil makes their debut in Rock Band with ”Power and the Passion” the first single from the critically acclaimed 1982 record, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Huzzah! Power & The Passion. Love Midnight Oil and this is one of their best songs. Teen Angst is another big shock as well.
Florence is a big "Maybe". It's quite a sparse song so I'll wait to see what the charting is like.

I like these people wearing white coats
They let me play outside in the sun sometimes
And let me dance with my Pet Rock til my feet get tired
then they take me back inside and let me play in my room. i like it here. i got nothing to worry about.
After listening to the songs, I'm getting Midnight Oil and Florence + the Machine as definites. The Cracker song is one where it sounds fine, but I don't see it being fun on any instrument.
Also, not to sound unthankful, but I hoped for a full pack of Florence, with Cosmic Love and The Drumming Song as well. Maybe Kiss With a Fist as well.

I have never heard any of these songs before. That's a first in a loooong time for main DLC for me. They sound decent, not my type of music. Still picking it all up though. It is a very random week.
