Today's free Download of the Day is John E Vistic's 'Hold Me Jesus'.

Free Download of the Day 27th September 2012: Monday Machines

Today's free Download of the Day is the second of two I heard at the weekend on the Fresh on the Net listening post - Tom Robinson's showcase website is a great place to find new music when you have time to explore. Today it's Monday Machines' 'Ruined Morning'. Monday Machines appear to be a true embodiment of the Internet Age; the band live in different continents and recorded their CD on Skype!



You can download 'Ruined Mornings' for free from their guitarist Allan Coberly's Soundcloud.

Free Download of the Day 23rd September 2012: Fire Eyes

Today's free download of the day is Fire Eyes' 'Headlight Dance'.

Fire Eyes (and particularly vocalist Sally, formerly of Cottonmouth Rocks) are one of those bands I feel like everyone should know about, but barely anybody seems to yet. So, pretty much the sort of thing this blog exists for.

Free Download of the Day 21st September 2012: The Pinker Tones

Today's free download of the day is The Pinker Tones' 'Life in Stereo (DJ Niño remix)'. This track was brought to my attention by Mark Davyd, who said "PLEASE SHARE it with your friends" - and how could anyone decline such a request from the man who stood up to Syco on behalf of his charity and won?



You can download 'Life in Stereo (DJ Niño remix)' in full for free from The Pinker Tones' Soundcloud - they're promising more remixes every Friday for the next few weeks to come.

Free Download of the Day 20th September 2012: Emily Barker

Today's free download of the day is Emily Barker's 'Ropes'. Emily is best known for her BAFTA- and Ivor Novello-winning theme music for Wallander and The Shadow Line (although Emily had written both of these songs for themselves; they were adapted for the screen). I am fortunate to have known her music since before any of this award-winning stuff happened. She deserves the awards, but her other music (and that of her backing trio the Red Clay Halo) deserves to be heard too.



You can download 'Ropes' in full for free from Emily's Soundcloud, or Facebook if you give her a 'like' (and you should).

Free Download of the Day 18th September 2012 - Lonesound

Today's free download of the day is Lonesound's 'A Little While Longer'. Lonesound is the alias of songwriter and producer James Ewers (formerly of My Luminaries). In this video you can see James testing out a new webcam with a rendition of the track - he says he wasn't sure where to look! Going it alone is clearly a brave step but hearing his new EP, I think it's clear James has enough creativity to outdo most whole bands.





You can download 'A Little While Longer' in full, for free, by submitting your email here. The 'Great Outdoors Pt. 1' EP, from which the track comes, is available to buy on iTunes and Amazon.
