There is no permanent Survivor health, it is all temporary and it is ticking down. Even if you don’t normally play Versus, this is a great mutation to try. The action is frantic and fast as team wipes are always just a few seconds away.
You Rock!
It didn’t matter on the platform, 38% of you have rocked out with the Midnight Riders in Rock Band. We need to get cracking on converting the rest of the Riders’ catalog.

The Static Age have posted an update about their plans for 2011. They had this to say:
We spent much of the summer writing and demoing, and, two weeks ago, we started tracking for a new record to be released in late Spring 2011. At this point, the drums are done, the bass starts soon and the rest will be in place by year’s end. The songs span about three years of writing, including a couple of fragments we were working on originally during the Blank Screens tours on up through a couple of songs we completed in the weeks before drum tracking began (and a bunch in between). At this point, all signs point to a record about 11 songs in length, with some plans of possibly releasing some b-sides as well.
They last released Blank Screens in 2006.
