News: Jack White's new band rocks out in the Rock Band Store.

A few weeks after saying that it's "depressing" that kids today learn about music through Rock Band and Guitar Hero, Jack White's latest band, The Dead Weather, will be headlining this week's additions to the Rock Band Store. Three songs from the group's debut album, Horehound, will appear as part of The Dead Weather Pack 01...

The Dead Weather - "Hang You From the Heavens"

The Dead Weather - "No Hassle Night"
