Head to the replies to get your weekly fill of free music goodness. If you would like to contribute (we need bands to contribute in order to keep this alive), please email reviews@absolutepunk.net with "Free" in the subject line to be added for next week. Also, if you do contribute in the future, a group of similar artists for your band would help out a ton!

Just a reminder that we have an exclusive, free sampler from Standby Records available for download. The sampler features tracks from all of their recent and upcoming releases, eleven songs in total.

So our first week of free music submissions are in. We'd like to thank all the bands for participating, and encourage new bands to step forward. Nothing shows appreciation for your fans like giving away some of your music for free, and this is a great community to do it in. If you're interested in sending us anything, or know someone whose given music away, please email reviews@absolutepunk.net with "Free" in the subject line to submit! Or you can just leave it in the replies. If you do send anything, make sure to send some bands for the RIYL sections. Happy downloading!

Here at AP.net, we know what you guys love more than anything. Free stuff! Starting next week, we will start featuring links to free downloads hosted by bands and record labels. If you wish to participate and get your music featured, send your cds, eps, or just single songs to reviews@absolutepunk.net with "Free" in the subject line. We want your band's music to get heard, and this is a great way to get noticed. Also, if you know any bands who have put up any links to their music in the recent past, you can send them in as well! Please no illegal links that aren't hosted by the bands themselves.
