Bruno Mars – Locked Out of Heaven
Bruno Mars – Treasure
Generation X – Dancing with Myself
The J. Geils Band – Love Stinks
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts – I Hate Myself for Loving You

Coincidentally, Mad Catz shares on the New York Stock Exchange have plummeted since the announcement.

Mad Catz has long been known for its gaming peripherals, including the upcoming Street Fighter V line of controllers and fight sticks. In addition to releasing instrument peripherals, Mad Catz co-published Rock Band 4 with Harmonix.

We enjoyed the Rock Band revival, praising the new career mode in our Rock Band 4 review. Harmonix recently added some ‘90s grunge DLC to the game and the ability to export the original Rock Band tracks for PlayStation 4." - IGN
