Contemporary Rock Songs for Video Game

We are looking for a few rock songs for a motor racing game.

Songs that are catchy, rocking and cool. Ideally they have a distinct chorus and some elements building up to it. They shouldn’t be too complex, hectic or intellectual. They can be “badass” but not too extreme (i.e. no metal or hardcore).

As a first inspiration, we like the balance of the driving parts, the chorus and the style of Eels ‘Souljacker’. However, we are looking for contemporary rock songs, songs that sound of present day.

The budget is per song and all in (license fee for master and publishing).
