"ATV Offroad Fury 3 is fun and action-packed," said Chevelle lead vocalist Pete Loeffler. "We think it's great that fans can choose to listen to 'Tug-O-War' as they play the game, and we love the idea that people can work out their road rage while listening to our music."

Via the in-game jukebox, players will have the opportunity to select the featured artists' music to accompany the races and/or create custom playlists throughout gameplay. In addition, unlockable bonus items and band information will be available in the software and packaging that include items such as music videos and a limited edition insert.

"We are thrilled to partner with the Sony Music Label Group to include an impressive roster of artists for the ATV Offroad Fury 3 soundtrack," said Sharon Shapiro, Director, Promotions, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "The incorporation of great bands such as Good Charlotte and Lostprophets will complement the fast-paced offroad racing gameplay that fans of the franchise have grown to love."
