Backyard Wrestling’s Soundtrack Line-up
Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today announced it has entered a strategic partnership with Island Records, American Records and Roadrunner Records in the creation of the official in-game soundtrack for Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This At Home. Currently in development by Paradox Development, Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This At Home is an outrageous and over-the-top extreme wrestling game that takes the player beyond the traditional restraints of a wrestling ring where success is based on the ability to use and abuse the environment as well as the opponent. Set for release on PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system & the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft in Late Summer of 2003, Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This At Home will offer an official in-game soundtrack that is as diverse and genre defying as the game itself. "Eidos Interactive is thrilled to announce this partnership with the Island/Def Jam music group." Says Kevin Gill, of Eidos Interactive. "Island Records, and its related labels RoadRunner and American offer a diversity and depth of sound that is unparalleled. The sound of Backyard Wrestling has arrived." The Island / Def Jam music group is a top tier entertainment conglomerate with a genre-defying roster of acts that includes THE definitive artists of all of today's major music genre's.
