Five new Rockband songs hit Xbox Live today but won’t be hitting the Playstation Network until next week. It looks like Christmas is going to be a little merrier for Xbox fans.

The two songs I’m most excited about are Move Along and Dirty Little Secret by rock/punk band The All-American Rejects. While I personally would like to see Swing, Swing show up as DLC, Move Along and Dirty Little Secret are both very good songs. It’s worth noting that these are the original songs performed by The All-American Rejects.

Alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars contributes to the mix with their songs The Kill and Attack. I’d never actually heard of any of their stuff until I checked it out because of the DLC and now I’m thinking that these songs might be worth picking up as well. Like with The All-American Rejects songs, these are the originals.

The last song is a cover of Song With a Mission by the Swedish New Wave band The Sounds. For those that haven’t heard of The Sounds, the band’s lead singer, Maja Ivarsson sang with Cobra Starship for Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) for the Samuel L. Jackson film of the same name.

All the songs are available individually for 80 Microsoft Points.
