EA Sports FaceBreaker will feature Suretone/Artwerk band From First To Last. The band has three songs premiering as part of the FaceBreaker soundtrack and are rendered as animated characters in the game.
“FaceBreaker is the beginning of a classic new EA franchise,” said Steve Schnur, EA’s Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing. “It looks and plays like no other game on the market today and deserves a soundtrack to match. We were looking for a left-of-center band to connect with a great soundtrack opportunity, and From First To Last is the ideal act to showcase in this game. Add in their new album, their upcoming Warped Tour appearances and a few surprises still to come, and you’ve a 360? partnership that totally ‘gets it’. Simply put, we’ve matched the new with the new like never before. The dual impact of FaceBreaker and FFTL is going to be undeniable.”
From First to Last has agreed to promote FaceBreaker during its spring and summer tour. The band will also be recording ten live concert videos featuring clips from FaceBreaker. You can find “World’s Away,” and other tracks from FFTL’s new self-titled album on EA’s music website at www.ea.com/eatrax.
