Bowie, Styx, Fallout Boy, Evanescence Join Band Hero
October 1, 2009 | 10:44 AM PST

For those of you who enjoy kid-friendly pop music and haven't bought enough Guitar Hero games this year, you're in luck! Activision has officially confirmed 21 new songs for the upcoming Band Hero, as well as 9 new songs only available for the DS version. The tracks include selections from David Bowie, Ok Go, The Kooks, Big Country, Hilary Duff, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. One of the more oddball additions is Styx's classic "Mr. Roboto", as I didn't realize that song had a guitar part. Oh well.

Of course, the main star of the game is singer/songwriter/Kanye West interruptee Taylor Swift, who has three songs in the game and whose likeness is included as a special guest performer. She is joined by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, whose song "She Will Be Loved" is playable as well. Hit the jump for the full list of new and previously-announced tracks.
