Brand New Tooth and Nail / Solid State Sampler

This could very well be the biggest news in free music since MyFreeMusicFriday.com shut down.  Only this time, it’s good news.

Tooth and Nail and Solid State Records have teamed up again to create the ultimate free sampler once again.  (The last one was the Hey! sampler, last year.)  This time, it’s full of free new and unreleased songs from the latest and greatest artists on Tooth and Nail.  To save time, I’ll just post the track listing.  It speaks for itself.

• Children 18:3 – “LCM”
• The Classic Crime – “Abracadavers”
• Underoath – “In Regards To Myself (Live)”
• Capital Lights – “Outrage!”
• Ivoryline – “Be Still and Breathe”
• Sever Your Ties – “Captive”
• August Burns Reds – “Composure”
• Secret and Whisper – “XOXOXO”
• MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE – “HEADSHOT!”
• Oh, Sleeper – “Vices Like Vipers”
• Inhale Exhale – “I Needed A Spaceship (Instead I Got Problems)”
• Destroy the Runner – “Mr. & Mrs. Cuckoldom”
• Emery – “The Party Song”
• MxPx – “Shut It Down”
• The Becoming – “I Cry”
• Anberlin – “The Haunting”
• Demon Hunter – “Storm the Gates of Hell”
• Once Nothing – “The Dust of A Town”
• The Famine – “Scar the Earth”
• Advent – “Blackout”
• The Chariot – “And Shot Each Other”
• Soul Embraced – “Curtain of Deceit”
• Showbread – “The Pig”
• Search the City – “Son of a Gun”
• Family Force 5- “Fever”
• Run Kid Run – “Captives Come Home”
• Far-less – “A Toast To Bad Taste”
• Norma Jean – “Robots 3 Humans 0″

You can get all of the mp3s for free, in one .zip file, just by entering your name, email, and country of residence at the website.  Tooth and Nail will them email you the link for the sampler.

Standout tracks are Anberlin’s “The Haunting”, which is a hauntingly beautiful Cities b-side, Capital Lights’ “Outrage!”, which is so unbelievable happy and catchy, it should be a controlled substance.  Capital Lights is one of the best power-pop bands I’ve ever heard, and a must-hear for Hello Kelly and Eleventyseven fans.

For hardcore fans, “Vices Like Vipers” by new hardcore band Oh, Sleeper, is amazing.  Tons of lyrical depth, plenty of screaming, eerie choruses, the works.  And you can’t go wrong with Demon Hunter, Norma Jean, The Chariot, Inhale Exhale, and August Burns Red.

Actually, most of the songs on this are must-hear.  Packed with new and old songs, this is one sampler you don’t want to miss.  After all, it’s free!

Free Far-less

Older music from Far-less today. You can get three free songs from Broken Hearts Unite, an early CD released by Far-less, for free from Last.fm.

The first of the songs is “A Virus on My Mind”, is a loud, demo sounding song. The second, “Interlude (Point of Rebirth), is a soft guitar interlude, while the third, the title track, is a catchy rock song, with intermittent screams. It’s probably the best song of the three as well. Worth checking out, after all, it’s free!

Free Music from Ivoryline, Jon Foreman of Switchfoot, and More!

Fuse.tv has just put up a new sampler with some new songs from Ivoryline, MxPx, Secret & Whisper, Jon Foreman from Switchfoot, and Far-less. It’s called the “Fuse Dozen Days of Downloads”. Most of the songs are available else where, but a couple are so new that I’ve never even heard them.

Though you have to scroll down through maybe ten or so mainstream songs to find it, the first song on the thing is Far-less, “Toast to Bad Taste”. After that is Ivoryline’s new song “Be Still and Breathe”, followed by a song from Jon Foreman’s new solo EP, Fall. The song is called “The Cure for Pain”. After that is MxPx’s “Secret Weapon” and Secret & Whisper’s “XOXOXO”. I’m not familiar with Secret & Whisper, besides knowing that they are new to Tooth & Nail Records and have a CD called The Great White Whale coming out.

One Dark Summer

Another Tooth & Nail-Solid State Purevolume Sampler! This one is huge. 32+ different song by that many artists. It’s awesome. If you like rock (Thousand Foot Krutch, The Almost, Jonezetta), punk (fm Static, Hawk Nelson, Run Kid Run), and/or hardcore (Underoath, Emery, Destroy the Runner), you have got to check this out! I can guarantee that if you enjoy loud music, you will find something you can listen to on here.

Get all 32+ Songs at Purevolume here now!

Note: You do need to give your email address to get the sampler. It’s worth it.

Update: During a recent upgrade, Purevolume.com removed all of the free samplers from the website. Including this one. So I’m sorry to say it’s no longer available. However, if you looked through the archives here on The Free Christian Music Blog, you could probably find some music that is just as good. I know it’s not the same, but it’s the best I have to offer, so please accept my humble condolences.

Free Far-Less: A Toast to Bad Taste Download

When I checked my email this morning I found a email from Tooth & Nail informing me of Far-less’s new CD, “A Toast to Bad Taste” was coming out next week. At the bottom of the email it also said that I could get a free download of the title track for the new CD from AbsolutePunk.net. Being a fan since I heard “Scorched Earth Policy”, I tried it and it worked. Well worth the download.

Tooth & Nail Tour Digital Sampler – Free Music from Thousand Foot Krutch, Underoath, Anberlin

Tooth & Nail is one of my favorite record labels. And this is why: they understand the power of giving away music. If I took the time to add it up, I am sure I have found 4x as many T&N songs then all other labels combined. And have good stuff to give away too. They are the home to MxPx, Underoath, Anberlin, Emery, Spoken, and Thousand Foot Krutch, just to name a few. And this sampler has quite a few stand-out tracks from their best artists. Here’s the a few of the songs:

• Thousand Foot Krutch – Move
• Starflyer 59 – Good Sons
• Underoath – It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door
• Anberlin – Paperthin Hymn
• Jonezetta – Welcome Home (Demo)
• Emery – Studying Politics
• The Fold – The Title Track
• The Classic Crime – The Fight
• Sullivan – Ten Ways to Impress
• Watashi Wa – All That I Can’t Keep
• And more…

The only downside is you need a Purevolume account. It’s not really that big a deal. You think of a username, they give you a password. I have only ever gotten four emails from them. One for confirmation, one with my user name and password, one because I forgot my password… You get the picture. It’s worth it, okay!

Get it here, here and here, and enjoy.

NOTE: The offer expires June 1st. It doesn’t specify what year, but, just hurry.

Update: Sadly, the sampler has been removed. The good news is there is still tons of other free downloads on the blog.
