''Battle Of the Bands'' is a RhythmGame by Planet Moon Studios released for the Platform/{{Wii}} on April 21, 2008. The story is set in a fictitious world gone mad, where bands battle for music supremacy using [[MusicalAssassin weaponized instruments]]. The game features 30 licensed tracks from from various artists [[CoverVersion that can each be played in 5 different music genres]] (Rock, Country, Marching Band, Hip Hop and Latin), depending on the chosen bands.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: The rock band Carnivus is themed to this, especially their map.
* CoverVersion: Prominent in the game, from a country cover of [[Music/{{Ramones}} Blitzkrieg Bop]] to a marching band cover of [[Music/{{Korn}} Coming Undone]].
* TheDeadCanDance: The band Scariatchi, a group of [[GratuitousMariachiBand mariachi-playing]] [[DemBones animated skeletons]] that rose from their graves to play Latin music and dance the night away.
* MusicalAssassin: All of the bands have weaponized instruments which they use to fight for stardom.
* ThePowerOfRock: All rock bands, obviously.
