Every year, EA’s FIFA franchise brings together an unprecedented mix of genre-spanning music gathered from around the globe to represent each country and its passion for the game. The FIFA 12 soundtrack delivers new music from Kasabian, The Ting Tings and CSS and hot tracks by Chase & Status, TV On The Radio, Foster The People, The Strokes and Thievery Corporation.

Kasabian are no strangers to the FIFA soundtrack.  This will be a second outing for the Leicester based band after EA featured their track L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever), from their self titled debut, on FIFA 2004.  Coming back 8 years later, EA will showcase their latest song ‘Switchblade Smiles’, taken from their highly anticipated 4th album ‘Velociraptor!’

The Vaccines burst on to the UK music scene in May 2011 with their debut album ‘What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?’  Herald by the industry as ones to watch, EA are proud to include their debut single ‘Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)’ as part of the FIFA 12 sound track.

We want to bring the world closer together by uniting the global cultures of football and music.”
