And it's full of indie, niche' music, right? Right?

EA Uncovers Top Secret In-Game Music Soundtrack for Madden NFL 07; Blockbuster Football Franchise Breaks New Bands and Launches New Tracks from Audioslave, AFI, Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday

REDWOOD CITY , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 23, 2006--Crank it up, gamers! The football pre-season kicks off with a bang as Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) reveals the 35 songs that will be featured in Madden NFL 07, becoming the de facto soundtrack of the 2007 football season. The bone-crunching action and heart-pounding adrenaline of the grid iron is intensified by the game's one-of-a-kind mix of rock and hip hop.

"Year after year, the music selected for inclusion in EA's smash hit football series invariably becomes the soundtrack of the football season, moving beyond the game to turn up in football stadiums and on live TV broadcasts," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "The Madden NFL Football franchise is recognized across North America as a driving force behind break-out bands...this year EA does it again."

Players step onto the field in Madden NFL 07 with the thundering roar of the crowd in the background and the air filled with pounding rock anthems and energizing hip hop beats. Dr. Dre's protege who first appeared in NBA LIVE 06 and NFL STREET 2, Bishop LaMont now makes an appearance on Madden NFL 07 with a track featuring Chevy Jones, while Lupe Fiasco is on deck with Jonah Matranga. These hot tracks are included alongside new releases from fan favorites AFI, Audioslave, Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday. Also this year, game fans will be spellbound by new music debuts from Jared Leto's 30 Seconds to Mars, Dave Navarro's band The Panic Channel, and Rise Against whose sophomore record is anticipated to be one of the biggest rock albums of the year.

Again this year, the hip hop production team Da Riffs remixed nearly a dozen original NFL FILMS music pieces will be showcased throughout the menus and in gameplay.

The complete in-game soundtrack for Madden NFL 07 includes:

Wow. A lot of crappy emo bands. Perhaps the awful music will distract people from the fact that Madden hasn't changed in 7 years???

Oh wait, the Wii version will at least play differently and almost looks good... damn, I really liked Madden bashing too.

Wolfmother are officially sellouts.

MarioJune 24, 2006

Well they have to break through into the US market somehow. Audioslave is the only other good band there.

EasyCureJune 25, 2006

dont foret anti-flag ;-). they could of picked a better song though, either from another album or just a better song off of "for blood and empire"

and afi hasnt always had that whiny sound they have now, though summer shudder is a good song from their new album.

MaryJaneJune 26, 2006

2 years ago they had Chevelle on the soundtrack. That was the only song I played.
