Fighting From the Ground Up Vol. 2

I’m finally getting around to listening to Indie Vision Music’s latest musical offering, the Fighting From the Ground Up Vol. 2 sampler.  I’ve only heard the first couple of songs at this point (I’m listening as I type), but I can tell you with all certainty that this, like the rest of Indie Vision Music’s samplers, it is well worth your time.

Since it is so big (over 50 artists), rather then attempt to review it, I’m just going to let you listen for yourselves.  There’s definitely some good tracks included, and then the inevitable not-quite-as-good-tracks, but all around I’d say it’s worth downloading, especially if you enjoy independent music.  After all, it’s free!  What do you have to lose?

New Sampler from Indie Vision Music

Indie Vision Music has put out many, many samplers recently, and though many of them are no longer posted online, they have taken the best songs from the seven samplers (sans the heavy stuff, which might be getting its own “best of” sampler) and put them into one. What you get is free songs from Chasing Victory, Project 86, Stavesacre, Ever Stays Red, Esterlyn, and 35 other awesome bands.

I haven’t been able to listen to everything yet, as I have not only been busy but also overwhelmed with this and another even bigger sampler that all of you will probably see in the near future. You might get spoiled this week, thats all I’m saying.

Edit:  Apparently the wonderful people at IVM are working on another compilation that they hope to put out in time for Christmas.  If you’re in a band and have a quality recording they are interested in possibly using your song in the compilation.

Hearts Bleed Passion Vol. 4 – Free Massive Sampler from IVM

YES! I’m finally going to write up Hearts Bleed Passion Vol. 4. I’ve gotten more emails about this then any other sampler in the history of this site. After waiting a couple of weeks before I could download it, and then another week for me to actually listen to enough of it to post (I still haven’t finished it… that’s how big it is!)

Well, like I said, this is one huge sampler. I counted 59 different songs. The full file is around 300 megabytes. Make sure your internet connection can handle it before you try to download it.

I wish I could go through and recommend all of the songs on the sampler, but I don’t have the time to type up a list. I’ll just say that the sampler has some awesome songs, some good songs, and some that just aren’t my cup o’ tea. There’s hardcore, punk, acoustic, rock, pop, and rap, pretty much something for everyone.
