Faking the Band 2 is a weekly feature detailing the latest in DLC for the Rock Band platform.
Gunter glieben glauchen globen, gamers! No, no, we’re not talking the sugar-submerged pop rockers of Def Leppard. Today’s DLC features a three-song set from the SoCal princes of punk The Offspring. The pack spans their sardonic and socially conscious history, from Smash’s self-critical “Self Esteem,”Ixnay on the Hombre’s grieving “Gone Away” and Americana’s mocking “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy).” Players can expect quick riffing, powerful drum rhythms and an overall abundance of energy. Apparently a Master’s in Molecular Biology makes for excellent punk rock. Who knew?
As for all those establishment types, they can enjoy today’s smattering of singles. An eclectic group, to be sure: the grunge of Screaming Trees, the blues-rock of Free and George Thorogood, the indie comeback of Harvey Danger and the industrial metal of Static-X. Oh, and don’t tell “The Man,” but we let fellow punkers Against Me! duck the police tape and join the party. Rock and roll for everyone!

Nice to see Screaming Trees in there, I’ve partied a lot to their music. Offspring sucks donkeyballs though.

I disagree. I played the Offspring songs yesterday and they were a lot of fun.
