Rock Band gamers will be among the first to hear and play Hammerhead, the lead single from The Offspring’s highly anticipated new album, Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace, due in stores on June 17th. The album is The Offspring’s first release of new material since 2003’s Splinter.

Fans of Huntington Beach, CA-based band Avenged Sevenfold will enjoy the dual guitar action on two of the band’s newest and hardest-hitting songs—Afterlife and Critical Acclaim, both of which appear on the group’s latest album, Avenged Sevenfold. The disc follows A7X’s breakthrough release, 2005’s City of Evil, which earned them a Best New Artist Award at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.

In addition to featuring the best music from a host of platinum-selling acts, Rock Band also offers fans and players the chance to discover exciting new voices such as Crooked X. The Coweta, OK-based quartet has crunch-laden sound reminiscent of early Metallica. It’s also worth mentioning that the average age of the band’s members is 13. Their song, Rock N Roll Dream, is available for download at a special price of 99 cents (80 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360).
