Yeah. "Danger Zone". Read more

This past weekend was a whirlwind (somewhat literally; it was friggin’ cold and windy in Boston…) as Harmonix attended PAX East! We spent our time rocking with friends at the Rock Band 10th Anniversary party, sharing HMX secrets at our panel, and bringing the house down during our Rock Band & Friends stream. Not to mention, we announced a brand new game, DropMix, and had traveling demos of our karaoke VR title, SingSpace! Read more

Starting today, we’re featuring 21 tracks full of raw, unadulterated attitude from Rock Band’s Music Library. This week, all Rock Band Rivals owners are getting a Punk-inspired pack of Rock Shop items to don your characters with. Get Locked Up to inspire dread in your fans, or take your flannel game to the next level with a full outfit, titled Top to Bottom. Who needs pants when you can wear more flannel? Read more

We have continued to try to push music gaming forward in all manner of games – some in the Rock Band universe, some not. With every game we make, we learn new things about what is possible with music gaming. Read more

Today, we’re extremely excited to announce DropMix, a brand new game that we’re making in partnership with our friends at Hasbro. DropMix is a fast-paced music mixing game where players create one of a kind mixes by playing cards featuring hit songs from award-winning artists. It’s completely unlike anything else you’ve ever played and we hope it will give you that same deep connection to your music and your friends that our previous fan favorites like Rock Band or Dance Central have offered.

Rock Band has, over the past decade, utterly changed how I approach practicing and learning new musical instruments, concepts, etc., and it has had a profoundly deep impact on my life.

You may have seen us recently announce the first groups of songs coming with Rock Band VR. 60 songs are headed to the Oculus Rift title, and we’re here to announce the next installment of tunes! Read more

Let me tell you the story of what is probably the most hilarious and mind-boggling thing that’s happened in my career (so far). It started as a quick stopgap because my coworkers were busy, and ended with my name in both the Rock Shop and in the “Art” section of the credits. (I am not an artist.) This is the first time the full history of the now-infamous Rivals Star has been recorded. You are welcome. Read more

Every so often you have the good fortune of experiencing something that just…clicks. It reaches out to you like a freshly-baked pie to a cartoon hobo, and you make it part of who you are. In 2002, I was staying over at a friend’s house and a package arrived from eBay. It was a dance game for the original PlayStation®. You know where this is going, though; a short “One Month Later” interstitial later, I knew that you should play on the right side of the game, because the left side’s up arrow was no good. That was one of the biggest “clicks” of my life, up there with meeting my wife, who will be absolutely thrilled at that particular comparison. Most nerds have an area of expertise and I had found mine in music games. Read more
