EA Debuts First Single from Multi-Platinum Rock Band Yellowcard in Burnout Revenge; Explosive Racing Game Features Over 40 Songs From Punk, Hard Rock, Electronic and Metal Bands. Electronic Arts revealed the in-game music soundtrack for Burnoutâ„¢ Revenge. Featuring a powerful mix of over 40 punk, metal, hard rock, alternative rock, electronic songs from bands around the world, the in-game music soundtrack is headlined by the world debut of ‘Lights And Sounds’ from the chart-breaking rock quintet Yellowcard — a hard-hitting track that will propel players to toss out the rules of the road and slam head on into total vehicular chaos.

Blowing the doors of the Burnout Revenge soundtrack are songs from a huge variety of artists including big name acts The Chemical Brothers, Fall Out Boy, Thrice, The Bravery and BT’s unique remix of ‘Break On Through (To The Other Side)’ from the legendary band, The Doors.

“EA continues to drive videogames to the forefront of musical discovery by launching new songs through the games. We are really excited that Burnout Revenge will be the first place for music fans worldwide to hear Yellowcard’s hot new single,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. “The break-neck pace and bone-crushing intensity of this game could only be matched by a high-energy mix of new music.
