For those who have been playing skateboarding games for the last decade or so, it will probably come as no surprise to hear that EA has put a lot of work into the soundtrack for Skate 2. The publisher sent out a press release today announcing the musical line-up for the anticipated sequel. I could try to describe the list, but I think I’ll let associate producer Chris Parry do the talking, via press release:

“The songs reflect the culture of skateboarding, with some tracks picked by the pros themselves, and others coming straight out of iconic skate videos. Skateboarding today is an eclectic mix of people and influences and this is true of where we took this year’s soundtracks. Look for some old school soul and funk, a few rock anthems, some good beats and a lot of classic punk!”

Well, there you have it. The full setlist can be found below; songs marked with an asterisk can also be found in EA’s other upcoming skateboarding fest, Skate It.
