Australian band to be on GTA IV's soundtrack
Australian band to be on GTA IV's soundtrack
GamesIndustry.biz has stated that an Australian band, "Airbourne" will have music of theirs on the IV soundtrack and in-game.
...Schnur went on to discuss EA's joint venture music company Artwerk, which has now signed a total of four artists in the past nine months since launch. These include Junkie XL, whose work will feature heavily on the new Need for Speed title, and Jupiter One, based in New York.
Not only will those artists find telling exposure to key target audiences within EA's own titles, but some will also find themselves as part of other games as well – Melbourne band Airbourne will also be featured in the new Tony Hawk game, as well as Grand Theft Auto IV...
Nothing official as of yet, so take it as it is, a rumor. For the time being at least.
UPDATE: The band seems to be a rock band, very similar music to AC/DC and Metallica. I discovered their MySpace while doing some research on the band, definitely worth a look: http://www.myspace.com/airbourne.
