Aussie rockers can smash their drums, thrash their guitars or scream into the mic to three of Australia’s most iconic rock anthems from 22nd January 2009. 

Featured in the downloadable content is Silverchair’s, “Tomorrow”, which found early success as one of their first songs when it won a local music competition run by Australian television network SBS. Also included will be “Dimensions” by Sydney hard rockers Wolfmother, who’ve enjoyed notable success inside and outside of their homeland. This was Wolfmother’s third single, and it deals with the issue of time travel… Finally, to conclude the epic Aussie line-up is “Outtathaway” by The Vines.
