NHL 2K7 soundtrack goes indie
Sub Pop Records acts including Sleater-Kinney, Hot Hot Heat, Mudhoney provide music to hip-check by.
With the NHL offseason already about half over, it's time for hockey fans to gear up for the preseason, and with it the annual releases of league-licensed games from 2K Sports and Electronic Arts. EA tipped its hand on the bands contributing to the NHL 07 soundtrack last month, and 2K Sports shot back today with its own list of big-name bands for NHL 2K7.
Sleater-Kinney
Rock is the order of the day for both games, but where EA showed punkish tendencies with its lineup, 2K Games has enlisted acts from the indie pioneers at Sub Pop Records to provide the tunes for NHL 2K7. The featured acts in 2K7 include the soon-to-be-defunct Sleater-Kinney, Band of Horses, Hot Hot Heat, Mudhoney, and The Postal Service. In total, Sub Pop artists will provide 12 of the soundtrack's 18 songs.
NHL 2K7 is set for a September release on the Xbox 360, Xbox, and the PlayStation 2, with a PlayStation 3 release to follow before the end of the year. The game's full soundtrack is listed below.
