Empty Promise – Conscience Today

Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 1:00 pm by Cole Faulkner in Punk | No comments yet.

Here’s an EP released by Austria’s Empty Promise. While they just released their debut full length independently, they’ve put their old EP, Conscience Today, up for free download. It’ a nice slice of sloppy pop-punk with a 90’s skate-punk vibe. Easily recommendable for fans of bands like Pulley, Ten Foot Pole, No Use For A Name, and so on.

Big Head Down – Psychophonies From Nature

Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 11:00 am by Cole Faulkner in Punk | No comments yet.

This album really caught me off guard. With a band name like Big Head Down you don’t tend to expect much, but Psychophonies From Nature proves otherwise. These guys know how to channel a great Anti-Flag inspired sound that sounds feels all their own. It’s a meaty album at 14 tracks and 40 minutes, but it sounds fresh and original through and through. Definitely worthy of an immediate download.

Spanish Gamble – It’s All Coming Down

Posted on March 8th, 2010 at 1:19 pm by Cole Faulkner in Hardcore, Punk | No comments yet.

Taken right from the news section: “Florida’s Spanish Gamble is giving away free advanced digital copies of their upcoming Paper + Plastick debut It’s All Coming Down. The album is set for a March 23, 2010 release date and includes a both vinyl and cd package.”

The album is gruff, rough, and tough, check it out if that’s your thing.

The Undressed – Dear Devil Girl

Posted on March 8th, 2010 at 1:00 pm by Cole Faulkner in Punk | No comments yet.

Punk rock can be simple and aggressive even in small doses. The Undressed deliver three tracks of a sound that’s both melodic and rough. Apparently this is the band’s first recording – very promising stuff if they keep at it.

This album has a cool cover. What’s inside ain’t half bad either if you like sloppy bare bones pop punk.

Josh Woodward – Discography

Posted on March 7th, 2010 at 1:00 pm by Cole Faulkner in Punk | No comments yet.

When we last saw Josh Woodward he was posting in the comment section of this very blog. Well, I rooted around his website recently and came to appreciate the vast array of free album Mr. Woodward has up for download. So if you liked his 2008 double disc, The Simple Life, the I highly recommend giving his back catalogue a spin. Each one has a wonderful balance of acoustic, indie, and folk influences.

The Motorcycle Industry – Electric Education

Posted on March 6th, 2010 at 1:00 pm by Cole Faulkner in Indie, Pop-Punk | No comments yet.

I quite like this find. I’ve always enjoyed the sound of Say Anything’s lead vocalist Max Bemis. The guy just sounds like he’s always on the verge of a mental breakdown. Now mix Max Bemis-inspired vocals with a dash of acoustic folk-punk and you get The Motorcycle Industry. It’s a wonderful combination that completely caught me off guard. When a debut full length delivers like this, I beg the question, who needs labels?

Asteria – Self Titled EP

Posted on March 6th, 2010 at 11:00 am by Cole Faulkner in Pop-Punk | No comments yet.

Asteria’s EP marks the release of the latest absolutepunk.net free EP. This one sounds a little like Fall Out Boy, and sounds pretty middle of the road. If you like this kind of pop-punk then Asteria’s self titled EP is right up your alley.

Mike Hale – Lives Like These

Posted on March 5th, 2010 at 1:00 pm by Cole Faulkner in Acoustic | No comments yet.

Mike Hale was and is part of now defunct punk rock band Gunmoll as well as the alive and well rock band In The Red. All of his work in various genres is always up to an extremely high quality, making Mike Hale one of the most well rounded musicians I can think of. But not only is he an amazing musician in a band, but he’s also one of the best solo acoustic artists in recent memory.Lives Like These is his second solo outing, and damn, is it ever great. Thankfully, with a little persuasion from Suburban Home Records management, Hale agreed to release his new album for free, with the hopes that those who love the album will donate through the website.

edit: I wrote that all last year, I think I my have been a tad overly enthusiastic, but it’s still a good release none the less

Just a simple copy and paste from the news section since we don’t know anything about it at this time, but as the title states, Bad Religion will indeed be giving away free music in the coming months. I’m a little surprised considering Epitaph stopped giving away free MP3s from their newer artists, but hey, no complaints here!
