"We have received many questions about which artists and songs will be included in the soundtrack for SHIFT 2 Unleashed, and we are pleased to announce the list of licensed tracks:

30 Seconds to Mars - Night of the Hunter
Anberlin - We Owe This To Ourselves
Biffy Clyro - Mountains
The Bravery - Ours
Escape The Fate - Issues
Hollywood Undead - Levitate
Jimmy Eat World - Action Needs An Audience
Rise Against - Help Is On The Way
Stone Temple Pilots - Take A Load Off
Switchfoot - The Sound (John M. Perkins Blues)

Each song has 4 remixes, each of which reflects the atmosphere of what is happening in SHIFT 2 Unleashed, meaning the game will have about 2 hours of music that you won't find anywhere (the remixes in particular)."
