An adrenaline-pumping line-up of more than 60 rock, punk, hip-hop and electronic tracks will power players through Activision, Inc.’s expansive Los Angeles skate world in Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. The game will debut Bloc Party’s “Like Eating Glass (Tony Hawk Remix),” which was remixed exclusively for the title, and will also include songs from Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, The Bravery, Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, among others, as well as Thrice’s new single “Image of the Invisible” from the band’s upcoming album VHEISSU.

In addition, a stand-alone Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland Soundtrack from Vagrant Records will be available in retail stores nationwide timed to the game’s release on October 18.  The CD was executive produced by Tony Hawk and features popular bands Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, Thrice, Alkaline Trio and others performing their favorite songs from the bands that influenced their careers and defined the punk music genre including the Misfits, Suicidal Tendencies, Descendents, Bad Brains and The Stooges.
