This Week’s ‘Rock Band’ DLC: Talking Heads, Rage Against the Machine, Oasis & More

After the epic week of new releases from 80s rockers Billy Idol and Fleetwood Mac along with icon Tom Petty, Harmonix takes a change of pace with their Rock Band releases and aims for some classics with their Talking Heads Pack 01. With Rock Band 2 already featuring “Psycho Killer”, this pack comes more for the hardcore Talking Heads fan than the casual player.
