Battle of the Bands is an upcoming video game published by THQ and developed by Planet Moon Studios for the Wii console. It is a rhythm game in a similar style to the Guitar Hero series, however does not use any peripherals outside of the standard Wii Remote.

The game feature 30 licensed songs with 5 cover versions done in completely different styles. The five main genres of music are Rock, Funk/Hip-Hop, Country Western, Latin, and Marching Band. There will also be three tracks performed with an orchestra.

The game features two of the eleven bands in the game playing the song head-to-head against one another. Notes will roll up from the bottom of the screen (as opposed to from the top like similar games) and the player must move the remote in sync. The game also features various power-ups including electrifying the other player's board, shrinking notes or flipping the notes around. However, certain instances allow the other player to block the effects from taking place with synced button presses. The music of the player playing the best will have their music playing dominantly, with the others being less audible.

Some gameplay info. Looks like the rhythm based game has taken a turn towards "odd" in a very awesome way.

"As a casual rhythm game, Battle of the Bands gets big points for charm and humor, and the intended audience is sure to appreciate the ability to actually play this without too much difficulty. Guitar heroes looking for their next challenging digital wankery, however, are advised to move along. This one's just for laughs."
