Another track off of Brothers, “Howlin’ for You” – a track popularized in a number of commercials, television shows and films – will also be available.

Are you howlin' for some Black Keys?

Fun trivia: This DLC is being announced on 8/17/2012. The first Black Keys pack was released on 8/17/2010.

I just updated the Announcement post and the OP here, but wanted to clarify that we incorrectly listed the Pro upgrade this week for "Lonely Boy" when it's actually for "Tighten Up". We've reached out to our Audio Team to make sure we do an extra pass on DLC announcements to make sure that those details don't slip through the cracks. Sorry for the confusion.

This pleases me.

Wow! It's something I'll actually be buying. After all, this is basically classic rock.

No.............

[Sargehalo51]

No.............

I can't believe Jglaubman said that! There is nothing "classic rock" about the Black Keys.

I know I'm kinda old, having been born in 1971, but the songs/bands I consider "classic rock" all were at their prime before 1990.

[Cipher_Peon]

I know big_old_tom loves them, so I'm happy for him.
Oh and Rocksmith song... GET!

I'm not a big fan of them, but I'll see when I listen to them later today.

THE BLACK KEYS KILLED THE FORUMS

[Plutarch]

I was not particularly howlin' for this, but that's okay. Soon I'll have a nice chunk of new songs when Blitz comes out.
