Update 2: The long lost Offspring DLC is now available for purchase off the XBLM. Celebratory "HUZZAH!" Original article viewable below.
Update: According to the Harmonix crew, the Offspring tracks should be available, so it looks like it's an error on Microsoft's side. Still waiting for answers ...
It's Rock Band DLC Tuesday today, and that means all the new musical DLC that was announced last Friday releases today. Or so that's how it usually goes, today is the exception though, because the Offspring tracks have gone missing.

For whatever reason, only six of the promised nine Rock Band DLC tracks are available for purchase off the XBLM. The six tracks from bands including Against Me!, Free, George Thorogood, Harvey Danger, Screaming Trees and Static-X are all available, but the highly anticipated Offspring three pack is nowhere to be found. And we aren't exactly sure why they aren't available, because both Major Nelson and Harmonix are nowhere to be found. Let's just hope that there's a bug in the system and all nine tracks release later today, because denying us our Offspring is NOT a way to make friends.
Today's Rock Band DLC
Individual Tracks - 160
"Stop!" by Against Me!
"All Right Now" by Free
"Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood
"Cream & Bastards Rise" by Harvey Danger
"Nearly Lost You" by Screaming Trees

"Gone Away" by Offspring

I was wondering the same thing... I was very disappointed to see no offspring

Did you look in both the in game RB store and the marketplace? Just curious as sometimes it takes the in game store a bit longer to show the DLC than the actual marketplace... Just a though. Odd though that some shows up but none of the offspring if that is the case. Maybe they had a post to marketplace date error or something. Hopefully it does not turn into a Rush thing, released many weeks later.

yea i thought that same thing so i checked... it wasnt in either spot... i even checked a few different places in the rock band shop

This is ridiculous! Every time there's songs that I actually want they aren't there! First Rush, and now this!? Ugh. They better be up later today...

Harmonix said over at the Rock Band forums said they dont know why MS hasnt put up the Offspring pack yet.. They are in the process of contacting MS now...

What do you mean, Harmonix can't be found? They've commented several times in this forum on what's going on, starting with this post:

is it me, or does "gone away" sound a bit distorted?
