French Wives
Love this band. Really I do. They really are fucking awesome, if you haven't already come across them then you're in luck as for the foreseeable they are going to be posting a free tune every Monday under the banner of 'The Home Fires'. You can find out a bit more about it all on their Myspace blog, all you really need to know for now is that you can get their song 'Your Friends and Mine' for free here.

Song By Toad
I am pretty sure Matthew Toad called me a cunt on his podcast last week, then again he did play Randolph's Leap so he's forgiven.

Marthas & Arthurs
The first band to take me up on my newly embeded link to email me any Freebie suggestions, and a wee cracker it is too.

The Edinburgh outift have been hidden away writing their second album, 'Let Me Come Home' which is due out on the 25th of October.

The good folk over at Gerry Loves have just posted up Meaursault's remix of 'Giant' by Conquering Animal Sound up for free download. I'm not normally a fan of remixes, but I think this is rather nifty, get downloading here.

The experimental instrumental hip hop type has announced that he will release his debut album, 'Lucky Shiner', in October, preceded by a single, 'Snow & Taxis'. However you can already download 'Snow & Taxis' from www.luckyshiner.com just now, which makes feck all sense to me, but what do I know.

Sub Pop
I'm not sure if I have posted this before, mainly because there are so many free compilations up on Amazon these days, even if I have this is worth repeating. There are a load of free tracks up fro grabs from the likes of Wolf Parade, Avi Buffalo, Nirvana and The Shins. Download it here.
