Friday Freebies

Maxwell Panther
You know when radio DJ's act all wanky and refer to someone as a 'friend of the show'. They sounds like cocks don't they? Well I'm going to be a cock (yes, I know what's new - you witty bunch you). Friend of Peenko blog, and also on the Song By Toad label, Maxwell Panther, has a new album out. It's called 'Lovers reBEL' and it's free to download on his Bandcamp page. We like his music, we hop you do too.

Popup
Popup are back back with three new cracking tracks, all taken from their forthcoming second album. Just head over to their Soundcloud page and get downloading.

Miniature Tigers
For any of you that have been visiting this site for a while now, ie Jim, you might remember I tipped these guys for great things a while back. Their debut album was a fucking belter, sadly not many folk picked up on it, time to get the rectified as they're about to release their second album pretty soon. You can download a free track from it over at Stereogum.

Luke Haines/The Auteurs
I fucking love it when folk get in touch to help out, this blog isn't just all about me. I like the idea of it being more of a collective, we just need Boab and Susie to post a bit more! Anyway, I digress, thanks to a cracking fella who goes by the name of Colin, we have our first freebie of the week, it comes from Luke Haines who has a live Auteurs set up on his site which you can download for free.

Penny Black Remedy
Until June the 27th London folk punk outfit, Penny Black Remedy are giving their single 'You Have Wasted Your Life, Now Please Stop, away as a free download. Just head over to their Bandcamp page and get yourself sorted.

22-20's
Mind these guys? they were tipped as being the English version of the White Stripes/Black Keys, they had the one tune on a car ad. I thought they'd chucked it in ages ago, so it was a nice surprise this week when I found out that they were coming back with a new line up, and more excitingly that they're giving away a free digital live EP called 'Latest Heartbreak'. In order to get a copy all you have to do is sign up to their mailing list.

Underworld
For me Underworld will always be the band that did the 'Trainspotting song', I was never that interested in anything else that they did. I saw them once at a festival in Spain and they really didn't do anything for me. Anyway, enough about me, for those of you out there that like(d) them, you might be interested to learn that they have made a new track, 'Scribble', available as a free download.
