The Showdown
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 from The Showdown
Free music today from Christian hardcore band The Showdown. The song is “A Monument Encased In Ash”, from A Chorus of Obliteration. It’s solid thrash album, (one of my favorites), both from a musical and a lyrical perspective. You can download the mp3 for free from the band’s Purevolume.
Speaking of The Showdown, the group has a new CD coming out August 19th on Solid State Records. The CD is called “Back Breaker”, and you can check out the album art and two new songs from the CD on said Purevolume profile. You can even pre-order the CD and get a free T-shirt. Pretty sweet if you ask me.
Update: The Showdown also has two live songs for free on their MySpace profile. I’ve written about it before, but I had didn’t know that two of the songs were still available. So, check out the old post here for the link. Thanks to Colt for rediscovering them!
Josh Scogin: A Rose By Any Other Name
Josh Scogin is a man of many talents. He’s the former lead vocalist for Luti-Kriss/Norma Jean, the lead vocalist for The Chariot, he’s done guest vocals with The Showdown and As Cities Burn, and he’s got a acoustic folk side-project A Rose By Any Other Name.*
It’s A Rose By Any Other Name we’re going to be looking at today. You can get “I Sing A Lot” for free from the A Rose.. MySpace profile. It’s much softer then what Josh normally does, I guess to get a break from writing metal songs. Still, it’s very good and proves Josh Scogin is multi-talented.
Four Live The Showdown Songs
The Showdown recently posted four live songs on their Myspace. All four are download-able. The songs (“Iscariot”, “Hell Can’t Stop Us Now”, “From The Mouth of Gath Comes Terror”, and “A Monument Encased in Ash”) are all live versions of songs from the Showdown’s first CD, A Chorus of Obliteration. If you like metal, you’d should really check these guys out.
FreeFuge.com, New Music Video from Family Force 5
Free music from FreeFuge.com today. They have a page on their website specially for free music, and to be blunt, it’s awesome. It looks like the selection is a mix of songs from FreeGotee.com and FreeMvS.com, with a little Sparrow Records thrown in. Of course, that’s not saying much unless you know which bands are on which labels. So, I’ll explain the selection.
It feature’s Ayiesha Woods’ “Happy”, Bethany Dillon’s “Top of the World”, Britt Nicole’s current single “Set The World On Fire”, Family Force 5’s “Supersonic”, John Reuben’s catchy “Good Evening”, Relient K’s “More Than Useless”, Sanctus Real’s number one hit “Don’t Give Up”, the southern rock “Temptation Come My Way” from The Showdown. Also featured is This Beautiful Republic’s new single “Casting Off”, Vicky Beeching, and Tim Hughes. (Oh, and they also have Chasing Victory listed, but the download doesn’t work.)
As you can see, that’s quite a selection. All of the songs are free and legal downloads. So enjoy!
Welcome to FreeMonoVsStereo.com…
Free music today from Mono vs. Stereo Records, a imprint of Gotee Records. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of them. They were unfamiliar to me too. Anyway, as an imprint of Gotee, they use the same web-network thing, which means they have the same bunch of websites, only different. Back in October I posted about FreeGotee.com, which features songs from Gotee artists. FreeMonovsStereo.com is almost the same site, only with different colors, artists, and songs. It rocks. It has 18 different songs that are totally free, from artist’s like Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, The Even Anthem, Chasing Victory, and Last Tuesday. I’ll break down the songs quick:
.
Andy Zipf is an artist I know nothing whatsoever about. Chasing Victory is a post-hardcore band that broke up this year. Gasoline Heart is another band that I am not familiar with, but it is worth noting that 2 of the song on FreeMonovsStereo.com are unavailable anywhere else. House of Heroes has two song featured here, one of which was a kindof-hit single. Last Tuesday is my favorite band on the site, and “Become What You Believe” is my favorite song. It really struck a chord with me. With lyrics like:
So far, this all sounds to-good-to-be-true, right? Well, it is. Sort of. Some of the songs, when downloading is attempted, give the ever-dreaded “File not found” error. Still, this is an awesome site for anyone who like Christian rock.
Enjoy y’all!
