X2008 (With Free Music)

Spend all of your Christmas money yet? If you haven’t, I’ve got a way to make it go farther.

If you buy the first printing of X2008, the new Christian rock compilation, you could get a “New Rock Sampler”, with 15 new song, free with your purchase. (You can tell it’s the first version by looking for a little sticker on the packaging, say it’s got the sampler.)

The new rock sampler has some of newest and coolest bands and songs, including:

• Dizmas – “Play It Safe”

• Our Hearts Hero – “Tomorrow”

• Emery – “The Party Song”

• Mainstay – “Becoming Who You Are”

• Newworldson – “Working Man”

• Spoken – “History Erased”

• Project 86 – “Evil (A Chorus of Resistance)”

• The Send – “An Epiphany”

• A Dream Too Late – “14th and Knott”

• This Beautiful Republic – “Going Under”

• Ruth – “You Are”

• Wavorly – “Madmen”

• Stephanie Smith – “Superstar”

• Nevertheless – “Live Like We’re Alive”

• KJ-52 featuring Toby Morrel from Emery – “Wake Up”

To claim the music, you need to put the CD in your computer and visit the site listed on the card. They’ll ask you for a email address. Once you put that in, you can download all the songs.

The X2008 CD itself is a good collection of songs, not perfect (compilations never are), but worth the money in my opinion.

Love Somebody – Mandisa
Your Own – Nate Huss
Salvation Station – Neworldson

As you can see, it’s not only diverse, but it has some really good music. Now you will need to create a HearItFirst account to access the sampler. I highly recommend that when you do, you check the “Sign me up for weekly newsletter” box. If you do, you’ll receive more free music every week.

Hey! It’s another sampler!

Hey! It’s another Tooth & Nail/Solid State sampler. Pun intended. Anyway, it’s got 18 songs from a variety of T&N artists, including Anberlin, Neon Horse, Ruth, Surrogate, The Send, and MxPx. It’s got some sweet songs, and it’s made even better by the fact that they are all newer songs. So, don’t wait another minute.

The Rock Brigade

Another online sampler from Tooth & Nail, Solid State, and BEC. It has new songs from Anberlin, Haste the Day, KJ-52, Seventh Day Slumber, The Almost, The Send and more. You have to have a Hearitfirst account to access the downloads, but, in addition, if you have a account, they’ll send you a another free download once a week. Hearitfirst is actually pretty interesting. It’s a website that’s run by the whole Christian music industry, so they have tons of neat stuff from almost every artist you can hear on you average radio station.

Update: The sampler has sadly been removed. Thankfully, there’s plenty more music out there…
