Free Download Of The Week: Garbage

Garbage

In 2015, Garbage celebrated the 20th anniversary of their debut album with the 20 Years Queer tour. During that tour, drummer Butch Vig announced the band was working on their 6th studio album Strange Little Birds. In many ways, the album goes back to the basics for the group. They worked on the album in Vig’s basement and found that youthful spark that fueled the band’s beginnings. Part of that spark was not having to answer to anyone. This is the second album Garbage has put out on their own label STUNVOLUME and not working with a major record label was liberating. Lead vocalist Shirley Manson calls the album their most vulnerable. “I used to feel so scared, and I think that was why I was so aggressive — but I’m much more willing to admit weaknesses than I was before. Each song addresses different points in my life between me and a person I’ve loved. They’re hot spots in my life, when I was afraid, or vulnerable, or didn’t behave at my best.” Download “Empty” off Strange Little Birds and learn more about Garbage at their Official Website, “Like” them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Free Download Of The Week: Whitney

Whitney

After the disbandment of the Smith Westerns in 2014, guitarist Max Kakacek and drummer Julien Ehrlich drifted around the Chicago music scene. Nothing seemed to click for either of them musically, although they were both going through break-ups simultaneously. Finally the two reconnected as roommates. In an attempt to extinguish their demons, Kakacek and Ehrlich had a series of laidback early-morning songwriting sessions. Eventually a third personality appeared in their writing which they called Whitney. Kakacek says, “We were both writing as this one character, and whenever we were stuck, we’d ask, ‘What would Whitney do in this situation?'” Download “No Matter Where We Go” off Light Upon The Lake and learn more about Whitney at their Official Website, “Like” them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Free Download Of The Week: Nothing

NothingIn 2014, Nothing released their debut album Guilty Of Everything. The album was inspired by the events surrounding guitarist and vocalist Domenic Palermo’s two year prison sentence he received for aggravated assault. The success of the album led the band to tour extensively for eight months, but everything came to a crashing halt when Palermo was mugged and severely injured. It was “Like when you’re in a car going 100 miles per hour and connect with an oak tree and everything behind you comes smashing forward,” Palermo said. These events along with his new found perceptive on life shaped the bands sophomore record Tired Of Tomorrow.
