Larry Read and Bren Piranio did most of the country / bluegrass music for the new game "Battle of the Bands" for the Nintendo Wii platform only.
Below are some of the first reviews
Video Review:
“…Sound is probably the best thing this game does…the great thing about what Planet Moon did is that they really took the time to do the different renditions of each song right… ..that’s actually one of the better aspects of the game is, is playing it and listening to all these different songs and, you know, in the heat of the battle hearing the song fluctuate back and forth between two different styles… it’s a perfect Wii game actually.”

PROS: Interesting take on the rhythm game genre; stylistic renditions of each song are awesome
Gameinformer.com:
“SOUND: The song covers are all done well, and are by far the best part of the game.”
“For a guy like me who enjoys a diverse number of musical styles, giving a country twang to Soundgarden’s “Spoonman” or throwing a hip-hop beat over Korn’s “Coming Undone” is the game’s shining achievement.”
“I haven’t laughed this much while playing a game since I was making fun of Donkey Kong Barrel Blast…”
