San Francisco, CA (October 19, 2004) - Eidos today announced additions
to the in-game soundtrack for Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighborhood.
From Eidos:
The sequel to the extreme wrestling phenomenon
Backyard Wrestling: Don’t Try This At Home, Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The
Neighborhood offers a soundtrack featuring contributions from legendary artists,
today’s hottest acts, and tomorrow’s industry leaders. These latest additions
further diversify the sound of Backyard Wrestling’s already robust in-game
soundtrack.
"With an already massive soundtrack for Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The
Neighborhood we had to think hard of how to truly round out the overall sound of
the game,” says Kevin Gill, global brand manager / soundtrack supervisor at
Eidos. “We have secured the best of the past, present and future of music for
The BYW2: There Goes the Neighborhood soundtrack, raising the bar for
implementing relevant music that hits home with gamers from any generation.”
The Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighborhood soundtrack boasts a
healthy selection of over 50 hard hitting tracks. The ample list balances the
melodic, yet urgent "punky" sounds of today’s youth, a strong selection of
modern music’s heaviest bands, and a healthy sampling of dynamic hip hop that
thinks outside the box. Many legendary artists that have influenced much of the
sound of today’s generation will make their FIRST EVER appearance on an in-game
soundtrack. The following is the list of newly confirmed artists lending their
talents to the official in-game soundtrack:
