The epic sword-metal ballad WARMACHINE is now available to download from Xbox Live for Rock Band and Rock Band 2 via the Rock Band Network!

Written by Penny Arcade’s own Jerry “Tycho” Holkins, composed and authored by Harmonix Indie-Pop band The Main Drag and performed by the Penny Arcade Band “The Sex Generals”, the song brings the full-metal-fantasy world of WARMACHINE to a whole new medium – Rock Band!

Haven't listened to the song yet (at work, no speakers), but I think the lyrics demonstrate rather well why you should never let Tycho write songs...

**Happygrunt**

Not my cup of tea, but its a wargaming song so...

Also, face melting.

It's not very good.

It is also meant solely as an excuse to get gamers (PP fans in particular) to donate money to a children's charity...

The quality of the song is irrelevant.

You're right.

Though, it really isn't very good...

**BrookM**

Childsplay FTW though.

**GalaxyGames**

Haha the song... is wtf but its all for fun i suppose lol.

Good cause though.

**Laughing Man**

Yeah, never really had any expectations of it being good from the moment PA announced they were auctioning off the song. Tycho's a good cartoonist and all, but he's a bit.... wordy for a song writer, and his singing voice is a wee bit lacking...

Still, good cause and all, and it should be amusing to watch several of my more vocally challenged friends pull that warbling off in rock band.

Any chance someone could post the lyrics?
