Fireflight
The Weekly Downloads: Feb. 9 ~ Feb. 15
It’s been a pretty fair week for free music, with good songs, but several repeats. Despite that, there’s still a few new songs, like Vicky Beeching’s “Blessing And Honor” available from iTickets, and Chris Rice’s “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” at FreeCCM. I haven’t heard a chance to listen to either yet, so you’ll have discover them for yourself.
-Chris Rice’s “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” on FreeCCM-
Also available is VOTA’s catchy song “Be Mine” from GMC, Laura Story’s “What A Savior” from Tangle, and the rockin’ title track from Fireflight’s latest, For Those Who Wait, available from New Release Tuesday. Enjoy!
For Those Who Wait
For those of you who are waiting for Fireflight’s brand new album, you don’t have to wait much longer – For Those Who Wait is out tomorrow! Of course, if that’s still too long for you, I can help – just read on!
Turns out, you can download the very-cool title track, “For Those Who Wait” for free from the website Amie Street. It’s a great, epic song, and even though you need to be a Amie Street member to download it (it took me 5 minutes to sign-up), I’d say it’s totally worth it. Rock on!
-Fireflight “For Those Who Wait” on Amie Street-
It gets better though – if you haven’t gotten it yet, the first single from For Those Who Wait, “Desperate”, is still available here, and if that’s still not enough for you, Justin from Fireflight mentioned something about a new, exclusive song being released through the band’s mailing-list sometime soon. I don’t have much for details, but if I were you, I’d sign up for for Fireflight’s mailing list on their website ASAP.
Update: As of Tuesday, February 9th 2010, Fireflight sent out the new exclusive song to all members of their mailing list. It’s called “Proof Of Our Love”, and all mailing list subscribers can download the song here.
8 More Free Songs from WinterJam
Anyone up for another sampler from the Winter Jam tour? That’s right, another one!

I’ve already got most of the songs for free elsewhere, but I’m excited to get the Robert Pierre track. All of the songs are either good or great, definitely worth the free download. Enjoy!
Wally’s Yule-Rock Sampler
You know how the Free Christian Music Awards are going on right now here on TFCMB? Well, I think I just found my vote for sampler of the year. This particular sampler is being released by the radio show Total Axxess & Provident Music. I have to say, this is the most impressive track-list I’ve seen in a long time:
- Fireflight – “Desperate”
- Leeland w/ Brandon Heath – “Follow You”
- Tal & Acacia – “Garbage In”
- Pillar – “Secrets and Regrets”
- Phil Stacey – “You’re Not Shaken”
- Matt Maher – “Hold Us Together”
- RED – “Start Again”
- Brandon Heath – “Love Never Fails”
- Tenth Avenue North – “Times”
- Jars of Clay – “Boys (Lesson One)”
You’ve got brand new Fireflight, great songs from Pillar, Phil Stacey, Brandon Heath, and Jars of Clay, really, just about everything on this sampler is worth getting. Don’t miss this one!
Brand New Thousand Foot Krutch!
Very, very exciting free music today from a little band called Thousand Foot Krutch. They’ve got a brand new song (never before heard in it’s entirety!) from their new CD Welcome to the Masquerade. It’s called “Bring Me to Life”, and it flat out rocks. Seriously, it does.
It sounds like it would fit right in on Phenomenon (which is generally considered one of Christian rocks greatest CDs ever). Trevor even does a little rapping, which he hasn’t done with TFK in a long time. It’s just a good, solid, rock out song. Needless to say, I am now very excited to see what Welcome to the Masquerade sounds like.
You actually have two choices for downloading the song, though both entail basically the same thing. You can go to FeedTheBeat.com, a website run my TacoBell, and download the song for free, along with another great free Christian rock song, “Unbreakable” by Fireflight.
Or, as an alternative, you could also head over to WelcomeToTheMasquerade.com, a official Thousand Foot Krutch mini-site, and download just “Bring Me to Life”. Either way, you’ll need to provide an email address, zip code, and your country of residence.
Regardless of the site you choose, I really hope you’ll check the song out, and hopefully rocking out to it as much as I do.

There you have it, all 62 songs. That should pretty much speak for itself. It looks like hardcore/metal songs form the backbone of the sampler, but there’s enough “normal” music to make it worth while even if screaming isn’t your thing.
Now, there is one small problem. Like I said, Another Way To Fight Vol. 1 was created by a French website. So, the site is in French. Thankfully, thanks to Google’s handy Translator, the rest of us can read it too. Enjoy!
iTicket’s Rocks Too!
Free music this week from iTickets – from Pillar and Fireflight. That’s a bit unusual, considering iTicket’s usual focus on “softer” music, not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just a nice change. The songs are “For The Love of the Game” by Pillar, a great song I have, and “Forever” by Fireflight, a song I just downloaded and haven’t had a chance to hear yet. Enjoy!
Update: iTicket’s just added a third song this week, “Unite” by Worth Dying For. They must have had a delay in getting the song added. Anyway, if you got the last two, you’ll want to re-visit and grab the third.
Free Sampler from Creation Fest!
Not two days since I posted about the last free music from Creation Festival, the catchy song “Captives Come Home” by Run Kid Run, Creation has officially topped themselves 10 times over. As in a 10 song free sampler featuring Run Kid Run, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, Fireflight, Dizmas, The Afters, Leeland, Mike Farris, and more. There are at least 3, if not 4 or 5, number one hits inside this sampler. Totally, absolutely sweet.
These aren’t no-name songs either. “Unbreakable”, by Fireflight, “Falls Apart” by Thousand Foot Krutch, “For The Love of The Game”, Pillar. Seriously cool stuff.
I could probably wax eloquent about how incredible it is all night, but I really need to get to bed. So just get it and enjoy it.
11 Bands to Watch for in 2008
11. Stellar Kart. If we really can Expect the Impossible, it must be pretty cool.
10. Inhabited. Their new album Love has been getting good reviews already, and looks to be an great CD.
9. Inhale Exhale. After a great debut, their sophomore disk looks to be great as well.
8. Pillar. With the apparent return to their older style, For the Love of the Game looks to be a worth squeal continuation to the Pillar legacy.
7. Hawk Nelson. If past awesome-ness is a sign of future awesome-ness, they are in great shape.
6. The Afters. After, what, three years, the band return with their second album, which looks to be as good or better then then I Wish We All Could Win.
5. P.O.D. (Payable on Death). Overlooking there new CD, When Angels and Serpents Dance, would be a serious mistake.
4. Showbread. Is a so crazy. They are releasing two different CDs on the same day. Who know what will happen? For sheer unpredictability, you need to keep an eye on them.
3. Kutless. With a new CD supposedly on the way, the massively popular band will definitely be one to watch for.
2. Underoath. The hardcore phenomenon. The mere fact that they are doing a new CD has music fans around the world in desperate anticipation.
1. Family Force 5. In two years, they went from unknowns to one of the hottest bands in Christian music. With a new, untitled CD on the way, the dance party that is FF5 will likely continue to spread.
Honorably Mentions:
A Rotterdam November. Despite being unsigned and unknown, they landed a hit with “City Without a Heart” and look to be a promising band.
Fireflight. Looks Unbreakable.
Leeland. Blindside. Switchfoot. Anberlin. John Reuben. Krystal Meyers. Deserved to fit in the top 11, only I ran out of room.
