A Word and a Beat and a Free Album Posted by Marek Vermin on March 28th, 2008
FREE MUSIC to Help Free the Music!
We’ve just posted a new song, “A Word and a Beat”, on our page on myspace, our page on facebook, and on iLike. This song, from our forthcoming album, Molotov Rocktail, is a celebration of underground independent music. Independent music has always survived the various economic and technological transformations that have upset music capitalism and today is no different. Today, the executives steering the bloated entertainment industries are terrified of the possibility of people hearing music without paying for it. The industry is attempting to force through legislation to engineer profitability into art and stop its mass proliferation. However, this is nothing but a false barrier between artists and listeners. Music is written to be heard. Everything else is peripheral, but the music industry has been treating it in the exact opposite manner for too long. So, let’s take our music back!
In honour of the vitality of art and the people who aren’t afraid to share their culture freely with others, we are going to be releasing our new album, Molotov Rocktail, for free on the internet in conjunction with Meter Records. Keep visiting our website in April to download the album. And make sure you share it with others.
Viva rock n roll!
