The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series has always had great soundtracks to carve up the skatepark too. Rocking out to well-known punk-rock legends like Green Day, Bad Religion, and Papa Roach, players traveled across the world gathering skater tapes, and pulling off insane Special tricks. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 aims to keep that tradition alive with a whole new setlist of punk rock beats.
Here’s the full list, with all the links I could find to get a sense of what’s in store:
Anti-Flag - “Stars and Stripes” Atmosphere - “Southsiders” Black Pistol Fire - “Hipster Shakes” Bully - “Milkman” Cloud Nothings - “I’m Not Part of Me” Cold Cave - “A Little Death to Laugh” Connie Price and the Keystones - “International Hustler” Crass Mammoth - “All 149” Deaf Poets - “Degenerate Mind” Death - “Keep On Knocking” Death From Above 1979 - “Virgins” Deer Mother - “When The Wolves Come Out” Doomtree - “Mini Brute" Fake P - “Rorschach” Family Force 5 -“Raised By Wolves” Four Year Strong -“Go Down In History” Harlan - “Moment To Myself” Hundred Visions - “Our Ritual” Hungry Hands - “Highline” Icon For Hire -“Cynics and Critics” Killer Be Killed -“Wings of Feather and Wax” New Politics -“Everywhere I Go” Plague Vendor - “Black Sap Scriptures” Ratatat -“Cream on Chrome” RattBlack - “Skate Rock” Royal Blood - “Little Monster” State Champs - “Secrets” Temples - “Shelter Song” The Orwells - “Who Needs You” The Schitzophonics - “Rat Trap” The Sheds - “Bad Things are Bad” Yogi & Skrillex - “Burial”
As a skater myself, I could definitely see myself hitting the park with a few of these tracks, and that’s always a good thing for a Tony Hawk game. Among my personal favorites in the setlist are Icon for Hire’s “Make a Move,” and Anti-Flag’s “Stars and Stripes,” and State Champs’ “Secrets.”
