I'd appreciate it a bunch to whoever checks out my band Ivy Dye's sample song under the samplers/compilations/demos section.

FREE EP at www.mrfyner.com

check it out, let us know what you think. other free music up there as well!

Checking out No Place for Heroes. An RIYL of System of a Down is just too intriguing to pass up.

Really liking The Wandering Tree EP

http://counselor.bandcamp.com/

Check out my buddies band, Counselor. RIYL: La Dispute, Pianos Become The Teeth, any of "The Wave" bands. Most of them are still in high school still so only bigger things for them!

Check out Barely Blind!
http://www.barelyblind.com
FREE download of their album Wilder Child of a Thousand Suns

The single "Choke 'em Up" by Earthquake Lights is DOPE. Really groovin' to it. But I'm also a sucker for the black keys hehe.

Yeah, "Choke 'em Up" is sweet

Everyone check out The Hotshot Freight Train song "Boys from Tennessee" that is listed above. I feel that these guys are highly underrated (after 3 full length albums) and deserve more exposure. They just released "Get Low" a few weeks ago on Future Destination Records.

Agreed. I am loving this song.

Haverford's RIYL was too good to pass up. Sounds incredible.

Can people please check out Kid Willis. My good friend is his manager and he would be wrapped if people could check it out.

i like setTheTrend and cootie catcher. download those!
