Green Day signs for Rock Band

Harmonix has signed exclusive rights to reproduce Green Day songs in Rock Band.

The first batch of punk rock arrives 7th July and contains "21 Guns", "Know Your Enemy" and "East Jesus Nowhere" from new album 21st Century Breakdown. Additional packs will be revealed further down the line.

Green Day shot to fame with album Dookie in 1994, pumping out punk pop toe-tappers like "Basket Case". A decade later, a darker-eyed and more political Green Day resurged with album American Idiot.

Various critical opinions on 21st Century Breakdown can be found on Metacritic, which averages scores at 74 per cent.
