Hey, remember the whole Free Music Friday idea , where I give you links to amazing songs that are actually being given away free so you can improve your playlists without destroying the music industry and all that? Well I clearly didn't, since today is a Monday and almost a month after the last time I did this.
So to make up for that I have
two free downloads today:
1.
RAC
The Remix Artist Collective is a trio of guys who make the most amazing remixes (
click on my video playlist in the sidebar- the 1st song is one of their remixes). They are headed by André Anjos, a native of Portugal who now lives in the USA and has worked in TV (HBO's Entourage) in addition to making songs 10 times better than they were before.
Download some remixes on their site
here.
2.
Performance
The debut album "(we are) Performance" was released in 2007 but since then they've been off doing other things (frontman Joe Stretch went off and became an internationally published novelist, yes,
really. And drummer, Joe Cross, has been songwriting and producing, working to develop groups such as
Hurts.) The main reason why it's taken them so long to get back to Performance is their refusal to change the band name, which was a dealbreaker for many major record labels.
‘I’m not going to change my name for a man who looks like polished fruit,’ remarked Joe Stretch. ‘They told us that it’s cool to seem new. I’m not sure about that. Aren’t many new bands enchantingly crap? Plus, changing your name makes you a phoney, Rich, perhaps. But a phoney.’
But they're back now. And they're still Performance. And they're still making good music. So download "Reptile" for free at their
myspace.
