For people who mentioned The Birthday Massacre, not sure if it's going to happen or not. There was a week or two maybe a year ago where they were posting heavily about it on their social media outlets but their push was to contact HMX to be official DLC. I showed them RBN and they didn't seem to be interested, but maybe I didn't explain it well enough.

Now for my top RBN choices (being realistic!)

COURAGE MY LOVE
Album: For Now (click to Spotify that sucker)

• "Anchors Make Good Shoes (If You Have Issues)"
• "Barricade"
• "Bridges"
• "I Sell Comics"

STITCHED UP HEART

• "Grave"
• "Is This The Way You Get To Hell?"
• "Dead Walkin'
• "We're Alive"

EVOLOVE
Album: Breaking Heartstrings (click to Spotify!)

• "Wake Up Call"
• "Fear (Is A 4 Letter Word)"
• "Four Walls"
• "Irony Of Life"

Squirrel Nut Zippers!

I emailed them back when RBN began and they responded saying how it would be cool to see people playing their "crazy music" in Rock Band! They obviously knew what I was talking about from their response.

They would sell well too!

Here's a few song suggestions (but I would pay $5 each for ANY SNZ song!)

Ghost of Stephen Foster (my #1 choice)

Hell (a 90's staple!)

I know it's not much, but i told Heart of Cygnus to put their music on Rock Band on their facebook page.. and they LIKED it.
So... im thinking they are interested...

I tried these two a while back, and, sadly, I don't think either will be coming.

I never heard back from Creature Feature (or from Rufus Rex, the singers side project), so I doubt they're interested.

With Schoolyard Heroes, it just aint gonna happen. The label that their last album was released on was shut down a couple years back (and owned by a UMG owned label prior to that), and the label that released their earlier material wasn't interested when I tried them. With the band being broken up as well, it seems like they won't be coming to the RBN.

Joss Stone would be awesome to see in Rock Band, she had a song on Band Hero, You Had Me which was really fun plus it had a nice funky groove. The album that You Had Me was on (Mind,Body, and Soul) was on Relentless.

Steriogram?

I know getting something off Shmack! (i.e. Walkie Talkie Man) would be....hard to get, as it's on Capitol Records, but their newer album was independently released. Their bandcamp page is right here, and their contact email is on the page, which is steriogram@bedroomempire.net.
