If you didn't grab the Wait! Rewind That Compilation EP #1 last week get it this week!

There will be 2 more comps and more free music from me coming up.

i kinda dig Suicide Dance.

i can't decide if that's everything i love or hate about music in a band...

I never give these things a listen, but today I'm committed to listening to atleast a handful. So far arrange is pretty chill. More M83 than anything.

hey everyone,

I play drums in the band Settler, and our new EP WAR WOLVES is featured this week! We appreciate your downloads and let us know what you think!

Just based on the RIYL, I am downloading "The Band That Doesn't Exist - The Open Road".

Act As If, ROTY, Stone Foxes, nice.

If I see "RIYL: New Found Glory, Set Your Goals and Four Year Strong" one more time on FMF, I am going to puke.

Everyone should get Arrange's music.

If anybody is into Hardcore, check out LONGSHOT. Its "Over and Out" under single songs

I didn't know Year Of The Sun was still a label :/
