Alot of bands, artists and labels are now putting their music up for grabs....
for free! This has been going on for a long time but it really seems to be peeking right now, so I thouhgt I'd provide all you good people with some links to some of these giving people.
As always though, remeber that if you like what you hear then try to support the artists in one way or another. Buy the album, go to a show or become a walking and talking commercial by buying some merch. The least anyone can do is to spread the word to others, and the following links is a good start to do so! So spread them.
First out is the great label
Denovali Records who are offering the latest album from australian heavy hitters
Hears. The new album is called
Alchera and you can download it for free right here:
Denovali Downloads. Enjoy, and let both the label and band know what you think!
Second off we have some good news from the people behind the fanzine and compilation CD
Umeå Punk City, and that is that they've managed to get rid of all the
8000 copies of the actual CD! Damn good work! Like that wasn't enough the people behind the compilation, which features 26 of Umeå's top notch bands, are now offering a free and legal download of the entire album which features bands like
Regulations,
Kommunen,
Insurgent Kid,
Masshysteri,
Instängd and
Auktion to name a few. You can grab this magnificent compilation for free right here:
Umeå Punk City Comp Download.
Last but most definitely not least is the amazing singer and songwriter
Declan de Barra. The man has a background in such great bands as
Clann Zú and
Non-Intentional Lifeform but has spent the last years working as a solo artist. With two solo albums behind him he is now offering his debut album
Song of a Thousand Birds (2005) to all of us for free, and all you need to do to get your hands on it is to go here:
Declan de Barra Downloads.
That's it for now, but at least you'll be listening to some good tunes for the rest of the week!
Enjöy!
