It was previously announced that the alternate rock band was filing a lawsuit against the studio for misuse of its likeness in the game.
Activision refuted this, stating that the musicians only requested that their avatars be used exclusively for their songs after the title was released.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the publisher's counterclaim requests that the group pay "unspecified damages and interest, a return from No Doubt of all benefits and payments, an order for No Doubt to pay the full cost of this action and reasonable attorney fees, along with further awards and relief that the Court deems just and proper."
The studio claims that No Doubt is failing to honour its contractual obligations in its refusal to promote the game.
Band Hero is available now for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS.
