FIFA 13 soundtrack revealed

More On: FIFA Soccer 13
EA Sport, today, has revealed the soundtrack for FIFA Soccer 13.  To call it eclectic would be an understatement, I think.  It runs the gamut from indie to mainstream, sweet and jangley electro-pop to rap you wouldn't let a child listen to, and artists I've heard of to artists with names I can't even pronounce.  

This list of artists and tracks exponentially enforces what I said about EA Sports game soundtracks yesterday.

The FIFA 13 demo will be available for download on September 11.  The full game is released on September 25.  To learn more, follow the jump.  You can also visit FIFA 13 on Facebook and Twitter, and you can listen to snippets from the soundtrack on Facebook (but a different FB page).
