Summer Slam Volume 3

Remember Indie Vision Music? You know, that site that has brought you songs from artists like MXPX, Project 86, Cool Hand Luke, Chasing Victory, Ever Stays Red, Esterlyn (a lot from them actually), The Glorious Unseen, Forever Changed, Brave Saint Saturn, Stavesacre, and Deepspace 5, not to mention hundreds of great songs from lesser know and up and coming bands?

Well, if you have forgotten, this should serve as a reminder. Indie Vision Music has recently come out with Summer Slam Vol. 3, its newest in a very long line of compilations. In it are 56 free songs, conveniently divided into three discs. While this one doesn’t include any of the big names groups listed above (the biggest on the list is probably Gotee artist I Am Terrified), it does include alot of great groups, including songs from bands like Sleeping Giant, Hands, and Impending Doom on the heavy sampler and songs from groups like All Star United, Sleep For Sleepers, and Ocean Is Theory on the rock discs.

Even if you don’t end up liking most of the songs, the odds are that you will find a new band that you really like. And anyway, its 56 free songs, so I probably don’t need to spend this much time trying to convince you.

P.S. I know that some of those bands that I listed in the first paragraph aren’t as big as they used to be (some are broken up), so some of you may not recognize them, but they are all quality groups. If you haven’t heard of them, go check them out.

Free Download from ROOTDOWN

Just a week and half ago, Ansley posted a free EP from the group ROOTDOWN, a pop/rock/reggae band created in 2007 by Paul Wright (which he also leads). Well today, you can get their latest radio single, titled ‘Taking Over Me.’ It’s a great song, with just a good message. The song is about letting God’s love take over us and freeing us from the shackles of our broken lives and our sin. In Paul Wright’s own words: “This song is a reminder of how God’s love can transform us and turn the messes we make in life into masterpieces in His timing.” You can read the entire story behind the song and download it at their promotion website for the new single.

Free Songs from ROOTDOWN

Today we have some free music from ROOTDOWN, which is a side project of Paul Wright (whom Matt posted about a couple days ago). They have three of the four songs from their (cleverly titled) ROOTDOWN EP on their website for absolutely free! The songs are called “Real Love”, “Roots”, and “Don’t Walk Away”. All you have to do is sign up for the email list. But let me warn you, these are the kind of songs that get stuck in your head for days.

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.

PS: I’d love to hear what your favorite song(s) are from the sampler are! Leave a comment and let me know! I’ll even go first.
