Four Tom Petty songs, including the new compositions "Jack" and "Square One," will be featured in writer/director Cameron Crowe's upcoming film, "Elizabethtown."

The film--which stars Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst and Susan Sarandon, and is set for release Oct. 14--also spotlight's the Grammy-nominated Petty song "Learning to Fly," from 1991's "Into the Great Wide Open."

The track "It'll All Work Out" (from 1987's "Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)") will recur throughout the film, both as an instrumental and with vocals, according to Petty's publicist.

Rockers Story of the Year will drop their sophomore album, "In the Wake of Determination," Oct. 11, according to the band's label.

The set was produced by Steve Evetts (The Cure, Hatebreed).

"Live, we always played heavier than our first record actually sounded," frontman Dan Marsala said in a press release, "so we wanted to try and capture our live sound on this record. We knew exactly what we wanted to do and how we wanted to come across. We were just really determined, so it seemed as if the title worked really well. That was our mindset the entire time."
