BALTIMORE ROCKERS BALLYHOO! TEAM UP WITH ROCKGAMER STUDIOS AND ENTER THE ROCK BAND NETWORK

RockGamer Studios is proud to announce a new partnership with Maryland reggae rockers Ballyhoo! (MySpace) to bring two tracks to the Rock Band Network.

Frontman/guitarist Howi Spangler originally approached us, asking us to help them get their music on Rock Band. We took one listen to their tracks and they reminded us of some favorites like Sublime, 311 and Slightly Stoopid.

Reggae is a genre that, in our opinion, is sorely lacking in Rock Band… there’s only so many times you can play that one Bosstones track before it’s time for something new, you know?

So, needless to say, we said “YES” immediately.

Howi couldn’t be happier to be part of the RBN. “We grew up playing video games and every after show house party we’ve been to on tour has had Rock Band. I think our fans are gonna trip when they find out they can play our songs on their gaming consoles.”

After we got back to Howi, he put us in touch with their manager, Steven Roeser, who helped them take care of all the paperwork. “We are really excited to work with RockGamer Studios to make Ballyhoo!’s music available to the Rock Band gaming world,” says Roeser.

RockGamer Studios is bringing two Ballyhoo! tracks to RBN. The first is “Cali Girl” from their 2006 album Do It For the Money!. The second is “Paper Dolls” from their latest album, Cheers!.

Anyone else excited about finally seeing some reggae make its way to Rock Band?
