From the article: "Band Mashups: Battle of the Bands is a rhythm game due out in April for the Nintendo Wii platform. It will feature both a single-player campaign as well as a two-player battle mode. The game features 150 music tracks as well as five different music styles for players to mix and match.

The latter is arguably far more entertaining a thought than sitting through a typical battle of the bands competition. THQ and Planet Moon Studios' upcoming Battle of the Bands for Wii takes a more literal approach to the idea with humorous musical rhythm gameplay and explosive antics."
While the game may have only been announced a few weeks ago and its name changed completely, Planet Moon Studio's action rhythm game remains a mashup at heart. The title -- previously dubbed Band Mashups and now going by the name Battle of the Bands -- is a little bit Guitar Hero, a little bit Wiimote arm flailing, and all rock and roll fun.
What was once known as Band Mashups, the upcoming Wii rhythm game developed by Planet Moon and published by THQ, is now going by another name: Battle of the Bands.
The name is the only thing that's changing about the game: Battle of the Bands is a one or two player music game where players wave the Wii remote to the beat of thirty licensed songs recorded five different ways: rock, hip-hop, country, mariachi, and marching band.
