NHL 2K7 Adds Sub Pop Records Artists to Soundtrack
2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software announced today that independent rock music pioneer Sub Pop Records, among other record labels, will provide music tracks from its diverse catalog for NHL 2K7, the newest addition to the NHL 2K series. NHL 2K7’s soundtrack features 18 songs, including tracks from Sub Pop artists such as Postal Service, Hot Hot Heat, Sleater-Kinney and Mudhoney while the rest of the soundtrack is unannounced at the moment.
“While Sub Pop and hockey are rarely mentioned in the same breath, the vibe of our music really suits the action of NHL 2K7,” said Steve Manning, Publicity/Marketing Director, Sub Pop Records. “Because 2K Sports values authenticity in its games with the same passion we treasure authenticity in our artists, we knew this partnership would resonate with fans of both the sport and our music.”
This should add a little bit more variety to NHL 2K’s latest outing and hopefully 2K will release the entire soundtrack list before it ships so you can plan if you want to listen to the in game soundtrack or put it on one of your custom soundtracks and enjoy Hockey the way you want it. Will this kind of music end up connecting with the sport? We’ll have to wait until the game ships and see the consumers reactions.
The following Sub Pop Records’ tracks have been announced for NHL 2K7:
- Arlo
- Runaround
- Band of Horses- Wicked Gil
- Hot Hot Heat- Talk to me, Dance with Me
