The RIAA sees you - but they can't do a thing
about it. All of the songs on this page have been made available for
download elsewhere, either by the artists themselves, or by a label that
actually understands music fans. Failing that, neither the band nor the
label remain to collect any income from album sales. In any case, downloading these songs is
entirely worry-free. Right-click, save target as, and enjoy.
Of course, if you haven't heard of or listened to these bands, but find that you like one or all of these songs, you may realize the shocking, ironic truth: free mp3s could possibly, in some alternate universe, be a promotional tool. Weird, huh? |

| A lot of hard bands feature screaming vocals; it's part of the definition of a hard band. A lot of them, however, are doing it because they can't actually sing. Part of the appeal of Demon Hunter is that Ryan Clark can actually sing quite well, and usually does for at least part of the song. Put that vocal versatility together with shredding guitars, thick bass, and super-tight drumming (courtesy of Jason Sprinkle), and you have the newest Band of the Undisclosed Time Period. |
 The Lidless Eye of the recording industry sees all. |

| Rest in peace, Model Engine. You were truly unappreciated and ahead of your time, and lately, with alt-rock on the verge of stagnation, we miss you more than ever. "Halcyon Days" is a shuffling, acoustic, toe-tapping tune, not really a standard sound for the band. It does, however, demonstrate the intricate lyrics and creative songwriting that so consistently characterized their work. | ||
| Aleixa is another band that has never gotten the attention they deserve, although they got the praise and support of other artists in the electronic/industrial genre, most notably Joey Belville of the Echoing Green and Wally Shaw of Massivivid and Deitiphobia. "Black and Blue" has everything that gave Aleixa a great sound: charging guitars, flawless programming, energetic female vocals - plus something extra. This is the only attempt I've ever heard to fuse industrial rock with a jazz horn section, and it works incredibly well. All in all, this song is very unique. You should probably download it or something. | ||
