Who’s going to see World War Z this weekend? We love Brad Pitt and can’t wait to see it! Here are three classic Soundtracks from our catalog to movies starring the man himself!
From the film that changed everything for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie starring as husband and wife assassins! A fun mix of inspired songs including a cover of the Guns & Roses song “I Used To Love Her, But I had To Kill Her” by the Voodoo Glow Skulls and a cover of Bon Jovi‘s “You Give Love A Badname” by Atreyu.
