The House, MD official television soundtrack was released on September 18, 2007 by Nettwerk Records.[2] The CD includes two performances by Band from TV, a band formed by actor Greg Grunberg, that features television actors singing and playing instruments for charity. Hugh Laurie, the lead actor of House, is part of this band.[3] The band was contacted by NBC in 2007 about performing on the soundtrack, to which they happily agreed.[4]
Chad Grischow of IGN called the soundtrack "a decent collection of too much music you probably already have on your iPod", and stated that "You will be much happier if you pick apart the pieces you are missing and grab a few songs rather than the whole album". Grischow graded the soundtrack with a 6.9 on a ten scale.[5]
