Sampler Attack!
I’ve already had two samplers this week (here and here), and guess what? I’ve got two more to share, plus updates on two previously featured samplers. Unfortunately, none of the samplers are completely Christian, but they do all have a couple of good songs each, so they’re still worth downloading.
First things first, hardcore is one genre that hasn’t shown up much on TFCMB lately, but that’s about to change, thanks to several of these samplers. First up, Hassle Records and Vagrant Records have joined forces to create a sampler that features, among quite a few mainstream bands, August Burns Red’s song “Meddler” and Thrice’s song “All the World Is Mad”.
Don’t freak out, August Burns Red is still signed to Solid State Records – I have from a reliable source that Hassle Records is just distributing ABR to the UK, and Solid State is still handling the US. Also, Thrice. I’m not sure about the rest of the band, but I know they’re lead singer Dustin Kensrue is, and from what I’ve seen a lot of their songs draw heavily from his faith, so I’ll leave it to your discretion whether to keep the song or not. Either way, you can download the sampler by signing up for Hassle & Vagrant’s mailing list. Check it out!

Update: Bad news, despite my having signed up over a week ago, I still haven’t heard anything about it, so I’ve come to the conclusive that the Hassle/Vagrant sampler must not be available at present. 
Next up is an update on a post James did last July, on the Face the Change compilation. It’s mostly mainstream songs, but there are tracks from Emery, Anchor & Braille, and We Shot the Moon, and it turns out, contrary to what I thought at the time, the We Shot the Moon song included, “Sway Your Head”, is actually an exclusive acoustic version of the song – something I wish I had know before I deleted the song (and had to re-download the sampler). I’ve been on a We Shot the Moon kick lately, and I really didn’t want anyone to miss a chance to get the acoustic version free. 
Check James’s post for the details!
Now for another hardcore sampler, this time from Revolver Magazine. It’s 21 songs, most of which look pretty nasty, but, it also features free songs from Impending Doom, Corpus Christi, and For Today. Check it out below!

Lastly, despite being rather old news, I’d like to point out that Equal Vision & Rise Record’s Jawsome Summer Sampler 08 is still available, and it features The Devil Wears Prada’s song “HTML Rulez D00d”. I’ve already posted about this once before, but it was a rather small mention in a big post, and I thought it deserved a bigger mention. I mean, it is free TDWP.

Actually, since I’m on the topic of samplers, hardcore, and The Devil Wears Prada, I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity to recommend another older sampler, from Rise Records, with some awesome songs from the aforementioned The Devil Wears Prada, plus Before Their Eyes and a sick rare song from Burden of a Day. Check it out!

is anyone else having a problem with the first sampler? when i sign up for the mailing list thing i never get a email
Hey i just came across this on the we. Beehave has a new Another Way to Fight Sampler up for download w/ 60 songs. http://www.beehave.fr/telechargements/another-way-to-fight-vol-2.html
one3five: Actually, come to think of it, I’ve never gotten an email from that yet either. I thought at first it might just be a delay, but maybe there’s something up. I guess I should check my spam folder, just in case.
Korman: I’m going to be posting that ASAP, I’m very excited for some new free Maylene & TDWP.
