There is no better way to close out the year than with Guitar Hero and one of the hottest line-ups of DLC this December.  Tracks, never-before available in a Guitar Hero game, from Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, The Fall of Troy, OneRepublic and indie artists Nada Surf, Pavement and Spoon are just some of what fans can look forward to this holiday season.

The longtime Guitar Hero devout may be familiar with metal band The Fall of Troy from their Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock bonus track “F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.”  The band returns to the Guitar Hero stage once again with The Fall Of Troy Track Pack, available for download on December 3, featuring the newly released “Panic Attack,” “A Classic Case of Transference” and “Single,” all off of the band’s October album In The Unlikely Event.

American pop rock band OneRepublic, who first debuted as downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour, are back on December 12 with a three song track pack to celebrate the November release of their newest studio album Waking Up.  The Track Pack features two songs off Waking Up, “All The Right Moves” and “Everybody Loves Me”, as well as “Mercy,” a track off their first studio album Dreaming Out Loud.

Guitar Hero fans should get ready to experience indie rock at some of its best this December. Injecting even more flavor into ever expanding Guitar Hero music library is a three song track pack featuring Nada Surf, Pavement and Spoon.  Players can jam to Nada Surf’s "Hi-Speed Soul," experience the lo-fi rock music of Pavement with "Cut Your Hair" or rock out to “Sister Jack” by Spoon on December 17.

What better way to welcome in the holidays then by playing along to Steve Ouimette’s version of the classic "Hark The Herald Angels Sing," which will be available as a free download on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system for Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero on December 22.
