Rock Band DLC: Locksley

Aug. 30 8:11 AM by Terry Terrones

Rolling Stone magazine has called Locksley one of the "25 Best Bands on MySpace". I'm not exactly sure what that means, I'm more of a Facebook guy, but evidently its a compliment. I've never heard of Locksley either, my first thought was Kevin Costner was forming a band named after his character in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Either way gamers will soon be able to download three Locksley tunes.

Read on for all the details.

Harmonix and MTV Games announced today the addition of up and coming rock band Locksley to the Rock Band" Music Store catalog of downloadable content.
