This is fine.
Band Of Horses finally have a new track that they’ve made available for download for free on their website. The song, “Compliments”, will cost you the price of an email address/mailing list sign up. The song comes in video Mv4 format with some accompanying images, so the file size is quite big. Maybe this is a new wave of cutting down on file sharing/leaking? Maybe? Band of Horses new album, Inifinite Arm, will be out in stores May 18th. Dig.
I’ve long been a fan of British band, The Lodger. I loved their album, Life is Sweet, with all its jangly cutting guitars and infectious pop ditties. Now, the band are set to release their newest album, Flashback, on Slumberland Records on April 27th. We’ve got a new tune to offer you, and while there is still a bit of a jangle to the guitar, you can definitely tell that the band has put some work into evolving their sound. Pretty excited for this one!

I know we cover a lot of indie stuff, but I’m super excited to come across this recording of a recent February Pinhead Gunpowder show. This band is full of punk history; I mean, Aaron Cometbus plays drums, and some dude from this band, Green Day, plays guitar and sings. They just played a set at 924 Gilman, and now the venue has released an awesome live recording of the show. They’re giving it to you, the fans, for free! If you’re into this sort of power-pop, go grab it HERE. And if you’re not sure, listen to this to make up your mind.

So our very own locally grown boy Ben Kweller is offering up this new track “It All Happened” for free. The song doesn’t appear on any of Kweller’s previous releases and apparently is just a one and done single situation. We had to shrink the quality of the song just a bit since it’s so long and we can’t be uploading 8min songs at super high quality. If you’ve got a little time on your hands, check out the extended story telling song. I still dig his simple approach.
