iPhone Rock Band Delivers 20 Songs And Multiplayer

EA Mobile’s Twitter feed spilled the beans last night, and the company made it official today by announcing Rock Band for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It’ll feature multiplayer, vocals and 20 songs.

A news release from EA mobile promises “live Bluetooth multiplayer” — OK, that part was all-capped, but we chose to spare your eyeballs. If you want to rock with friends not in the same room, the app says it will synch you up with bandmates via Facebook invitation. Yes, you read that right.

You get the same four instruments in the mobile version — git-tar, drums, bass and vocals. Multiplayer functions like it does in the console game — you’ll hear your bandmates’ missed notes and be able to save their arse with overdrive.

EA says it ships this month. It arrives with 20 songs (listed below) with more to come through an in-game music store.

The track list in the core game:

Attack-30 Seconds To Mars
Girls Not Grey – AFI
Move Along – All American Rejects

All The Small Things – Blink-182
Hanging on the Telephone – Blondie
