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.

Free Music From Forever Changed

Today we have three free songs by the band Forever Changed.  They were a band off of Floodgate Records before they broke up in 2006.  The downloads are “Never Look Down” off of their final album Chapters, “Encounter” off of their first album The Need To Feel Alive, and “Consequences” which is a b-side.  You should definitely check out the other songs on their PureVolume, especially “Starting to Sink” and “The Need To Feel Alive.”

Free Song Downloads from Floodgate

Floodgate Records has some of the best under-the-radar artists in Christian music today. Artists like Number One Gun and The Myriad both began on Floodgate, before moving on to fame. They also have some of the best alternative rock bands.

If you were to surf over to the Floodgate Records Media page right now, you’d find 8 free mp3’s, representing the best Floodgate has to offer, including:

• Forever Changed – “Need To Feel Alive” and “Encounter”
• The Myriad – “Perfect Obligation”
• Yellow Second – “Chance of Sunbreaks”
• Mourning September – “Closer to Closure”
• Cool Hand Luke – “The Foster”
• East West – “Vacant”
• The Insyderz – “Soundtrack to a Revolution”
• Dennison Marrs – “Dancing Over Me” (Unfortunately, the mp3 is corrupted)

I was surprised when I first found this. I wasn’t expecting to hear ska (The Insyderz) or heavy metal (East West). Once I got over the shock, I realized that it was actually pretty good stuff.

The Downtown Rivals – The Wedding, The Myriad, Between the Tree and more!

Alright. I am going to name six (6) different bands. You tell me what they all have in common:
The Wedding. Between the Trees. The Myriad. Deas Veil. Forever Changed. Saints Never Surrender.

Stumped?

The answer is that they are all distributed by Downtown Rivals, and all have songs featured in the Downtown Rivals Digital Music Sampler 2007. It’s actually one of my favorite samplers for the year, just because songs are just so cool. Another nice feature is that you don’t need to download the entire sampler at once. You can download as many songs at a time as you want, whenever you want. Below, I’ll break down the good tracks down:
