Today more music additions have been announced for Rock Band in two different releases. The first is a 3-pack of Pearl Jam songs that will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a part of the “Ten Bonus Pack” or as singles. Their hit album Ten was released back in March to the massive Rock Band catalog and these are additional tracks from the reissue.
