Over the past 18 months or so, I've had the pleasure of covering and interviewing some extremely talented musicians. Many, of which I've seen live multiple times and keep in touch with, whether it be on Twitter, MySpace, etc. And, it's always a thrill to see a band that I've featured take off, get a record deal, or be featured in a prominent music magazine.
There are a few bands previously featured on You Sing, I Write who have some exciting news as well as free downloads (legally of course) that I wanted to share with you. Whether it be catching a show, buying an album, or listening on MySpace every little bit helps and I think you'll enjoy at least one (if not all) of the bands featured below. I'd love to hear what you think!
A Moment's Worth
I featured AMW a few weeks back as an Artist of the Week and was psyched to learn that they have recently been signed to In-n-Out records in Japan (home to bands like New Found Glory, Finch, Allister, Home Grown, etc). Check out all the info on their blog.
The Jim Ivins Band
The Virgina-based band just released their brand new EP for free to anyone who signs up for their mailing list. Sign up and get your free download at the band's MySpace.
Lights Resolve and Ace Merrill
I've featured both bands on the blog in the past and was impressed to see them featured on Alternative Press' Battle of the Band contest to play Warped Tour along with a third band, Van Atta High. Listen to a song from each band and read their bios on Alternative Press and vote for your favorite here.
Luke Brindley
A fellow Jersey native, Brindley has a lot of exciting things going on and is in the process of recording his new album. He's decided to go the self-released route and is enlisting the help of his fans through donations, providing them with some cool perks. For more information and to help him out, click here.
So glad to see these bands taking off! It's been an exciting journey following them and I hope to only continue to learn of each artist's increasing success. Any bands you think I should give a listen? I'm all ears.
