Summer Festival Sampler 2009

Yes, you heard me right, yet another summer sampler from Tooth & Nail/BECrecordings/Solid State. This one might not be as big and make your head explode, but it still contains some good music. Also, many of these songs were already on the previous Sampler Matt posted just two days ago, but, this one does have a few songs that were not. Of the twelve songs, 7 of them are on the Fuel Sampler. Track listing:

• Emery – Cutthroat Collapse
• Thousand Foot Krutch – Bring Me To Life
• Kutless – The Rescue
• FM Static – Boy Moves to a New Town with Optimistic Outlook
• The Glorious Unseen – Hear Our Prayers
• Falling Up – Streams of Woe at Acheron
• KJ-52 – Wake Up
• Hawk Nelson – Lets Dance Dojo Dominating Remix by Jason Dunn
• Since October – Guilty
• August Burns Red – Thirty and Seven
• Seventh Day Slumber – Take Everything
• Children 18:3 – All My Balloons

Anyway, even if you did get the Fuel Sampler, the remaining five songs on the Summer Festival Sampler ‘09 make it all the worth while to download. Besides, what do you have to lose?

It also says that the ‘The Rescue’ is done by an artist called by the same name. However, when I downloaded it, it came out as Kutless. I haven’t heard of an artist by the name by ‘The Rescue’, so I believe it was just an error.

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?

Free music today from FM Static. You can get two free songs from them, “Crazy Mary” and “Definitely Maybe”, on the official FM Static Purevolume page. “Definitely Maybe” is definitely a relationship song, while “Crazy Mary” is… a relationship song. Both of the songs are former radio hits, and pretty awesome. Enjoy!

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.
