Like I said before, this contest is from Integrity Music. When I heard that, I checked out their website, and found that they have some more Woship music downloads. They have a couple songs from Lincoln Brewster, Israel Houghton, Kari Jobe, Jared Anderson, Gateway Worship and Don Moen. All you need to do is go to their site, and click on the ‘Songs’ tab, and there you’ll find a couple of free music downloads and their respective chord charts. To get several of the others, you need to sign up on Integrity’s website and go to the artist’s page.
Fuel Returns (And Matt’s Head Explodes)
It’s true – Tooth & Nail and Solid State Records have let loose yet another unbelievably epic sampler to wreck musically chaos on the eardrums of fans everywhere. In fact, the only thing that could come close to touching this is the last Fuel sampler. The tracklist:
- Surrogate – “Exercise Machines”
- Living Sacrifice – “Overkill Exposure (Rough Mix)”
- Haste the Day – “68″
- As Cities Burn – “84′ Sheepdog”
- Children 18:3 – “All My Balloons”
- FM Static – “Boy Moves To A New Town With Optimistic Outlook”
- Thousand Foot Krutch – “Bring Me To Life”
- Emery – “Cutthroat Collapse”
- Ivoryline – “Days End”
- mewithoutYou – “Every Thought A Thought of You”
- The Crucified – “The Pit”
- MxPx – “Punk Rock Girl”
- The Ascendicate – “Scottish”
- Oh, Sleeper – “Son of the Morning”
- August Burns Red – “Thirty and Seven”
- Becoming The Archetype – “Dichotomy”
- Copeland – “The Grey Man”
- Hawk Nelson – “Let’s Dance (Dojo Dominating Remix)”
- Showbread – “Nothing Matters Anymore”
- MyChildren MyBride – “On The Wings of Integrity”
- Neon Horse – “Strange Town”
- Corey Crowder – “Look How Far We’ve Come”
- Trenches – “Sacrament”
- The Showdown – “[Achilles] The Backbreaker”
- And Then There Were None – “Reinventing Robert Cohn”
- Family Force 5 – “Fever”
- Jonezetta – “Sick In The Teeth”
- Since October – “Guilty”
- The Chariot – “Daggers”
- Underoath – “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures”
- Secret & Whisper – “Anchors (Acoustic)”
If that doesn’t get you pumped up for this, I don’t know what will. Well, besides the fact that the Showbread and Oh, Sleeper songs are brand new, never-before-heard. They aren’t even on MySpace yet. Extremely epic, and a must-have.
Of course, that’s not to say that it’s perfect. The cover art is a little creepy, and the website mentions a song from The Almost, which wasn’t in my .zip file. I won’t be surprised if there’s an update with the song in it soon enough. Even so, those are minor details. Get this, right, now. Seriously. Do it. Now:
-Tooth & Nail/Solid States’s Fuel Sampler-
Now that I’ve got that out of the way, I’m totally digging the Children 18:3, FM Static, and Ivoryline right now, great stuff, and I’m not nearly through the sampler yet. What are your favorite songs?
You + The Wrecking = Twilight Movie Appearence?
Okay, let me get this straight. I’m not a Twilight fan. I haven’t read the books or seen the movie. But I am a fan of The Wrecking, and when I heard that their song “Our Feet Don’t Touch the Ground” was being considered for the soundtrack of the next Twilight movie, New Moon, I knew I had to help get the word out. So…
- Go to http://www.theTwilightSong.com and listen to “Our Feet Don’t Touch the Ground.”
- Click to vote for The Wrecking.
- Tell all your friends to do the same.
That’s not too hard, is it? And just think of the good you’d be doing! You’d be supporting The Wrecking, listen to an amazing song from them, and you’d be improving the new Twilight movie. What could be better?
Emergency Broadcast: The Downloads Are Near
…And boy, are there a lot of them. 1000 to be exact. It’s all part of Microsoft’s latest promotion idea: Giving away music. The software giant has forged a partnership with ReverbNation, a popular music site, to give away more free songs then you can shake a Zune at, for free.
Due to such a huge number of downloads, I might have missed a few Christian artists – if I did, I’m sorry. That said, there seems to plenty of Christian artists in the list including Underoath’s song “Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near”, Bobby Bishop’s “All In”, Hillsong United’s “Desert Song”, and independent artists like Adelina Halmajan, Andy Zipf, Devin Williams, D-Cee, HeeSun Lee, LASTAWAKE, Mynista, Mr. Paul, Matt Shanor, Mashach, Mosquito Farm, No Longer Micah, One4All, Pat Hyland, Peter Woolston, P-Duble, Sheri Carr, The Lacks, and likely more.
It looks like there’s definitely plenty of music to investigate, so go check it out! Enjoy it! 
Music Video Fame & Free Music
Who wants to be famous! Who wants free music? Who likes Vota? You? Great! Today is your lucky day! How? Read on!
Vota (a band formerly know as Casting Pearls) and Gospel Music Channel have teemed up to give you (yes, YOU) a chance at fame & glory by directing and filming a music video for Vota’s song “I’ll Go”. Upload your video to Tangle, send Gospel Music Channel the link, and your video just might end up being aired on GMC!
Personally, I’m a huge music video geek, and the very thought of a contest like this gets me excited. Of course, if you’re the sort of person who’d rather not lip sync in front of your friends, much less thousands of viewers on TV, you can still download “I’ll Go” (which also happens to be a pretty good song) for free from Gospel Music Channel.
Either way, you can link up below. Just as a bonus, if you do make a video, shoot me an email (or tweet, or comment, or smoke signal…) with a link to your video, and I’ll see about featuring it on TFCMB. I’d love to see what you all come up with.
Free EP from HarvestBloom
Free music today from a new band called HarvestBloom. They’re a female-fronted Christian rock band from Maryland who just released a self-titled EP free, through their website, HarvestBloom.net.
The EP, HarvestBloom, is 6 songs long, is about half guitar driven rock and half slower worship songs. The best track, hands down, is “Self Pity”. It kicks off with some latin-sounding mandolin, then the vocals come, then the electric guitars, bass, and drums kick in. It’s definitely the most intense song, and reminds me a lot of Petra’s old school rock songs like “Right Place”. Towards the end of the song, the mandolin comes in again, and pulls the song together nicely.
Anyway, like I said, you can download the EP for free from the band’s website, where you can also stream the songs:
Free Music from ApologetiX
Free music today from ApologetiX, “that Christian Parody band”. Described as “Weird Al Yankovic meets Billy Graham”, ApologetiX is one of the most interesting (not to mention funnest) things in Christian music today.
Just like the aforementioned polka-parody prince, ApologetiX takes the music from a popular secular song (for example, “In The End” by Linkin Park), and rewrites the lyrics into a Christian song. For example…
- “Bohemian Rhapsody” becomes “Bethlehemian Rhapsody” as David takes on Goliath in a battle royale.
- Kid Rock’s “Cowboy” is rewritten into lead singer J. Jackson’s personal testimony in “Choirboy”.
- “Theme from the Monkees” is transformed to the anti-evolution song “Monkey Scheme”.
Many of the songs are quite humorous, as you’ll discover upon listening. The sheer variety of artists they’ve covered is also impressive – everyone from Elvis to Eminen, The Killers to Queen, Toby Keith to System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, and, well, you get the picture.
Of course, since this is The Free Christian Music Blog, there’s got to be some free music out there somewhere, right? In this case, it’s all on the official ApologetiX.com website. By merely signing up for their free fan club & newsletter, you can download a slew of different .mp3s (I counted 32, but I may have missed a few).
Once you’re on their list, head over to their website, type your email address in, and click on to the “Music” page. There, you can easily locate the top free songs in the sidebar on your left, or, you can pull up the album pages one at a time, and make sure you get all the songs. I’d recommend “Monkey Scheme” & “The Real Sin Savior” from Keep the Change, “Somebody Sold Me” & “Boulevard of Both Extremes” from Wordplay in particular, but they’re all pretty good. Enjoy!
iTickets… For One Night Only
Yes, once again, Matt has procrastinated till the very last second to cover the iTicket’s downloads this week. At this point, there’s still several hours to download the songs “Beautiful” by Jordan Biel & “Heal Me” by new artist and professional football player Ben Utecht. Enjoy!
Also, if you’ve been following TFCMB for a long time, you just might remember Jordan Biel from my post about the two songs he gave away last year. Turns out those two are still available, and there’s at least 1 more available on his website, JordanBiel.com.
I say at least one more, because in his bio on iTicket’s there a mention of a certain .zip file with none less then 7 songs, for free. I’ve been trying to locate said .zip file for the last 5 minutes, and haven’t found it yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. Scavanger hunt anyone?
Free Song from Jonezetta
Today we have a free song from the band Jonezetta. The song is “Get Ready (Hot Machete)” and its up for download on Spin.com. If this song seems familiar, that’s because it was once before featured on this site, having won the very first Song Combat. However, the original download no longer works, and since many of you are new to TFCMB, those of you who did not have a chance before to download now will.
