FREE MUSIC 1/6 [The Leadership, Curren$y, The Only Sons, & more]


The Leadership
I came across this yesterday and was sold after listening to the first song. After such a strong start I was skeptical to continue through this, but found it to be a strong and thorough album. This has the quality of a Drive-By Truckers album, true-to-heart stories, raging riffs, and a little twang. If you download anything today, let this be it.

The Only Sons
I brought you the stream of The Only Sons upcoming album, American Stranger, [HERE] but I want to make sure that you have something tangible to put into iTunes by The Only Sons. They released their Sophomore album Steel Hearts in 2009, to much acclaim I might add, for free on their website. They can't be that generous again unfortunately but I downloaded this about a week ago and was very impressed, it curtails the insanely good American Stranger with some

Kent Goolsby
The Only Sons lead singer, Kent Goolsby, released a solo effort, Wide Eyed Son, way back in December of 2010, and of course, it's free. The generosity of the guys in the band is absolutely awesome,just giving away their hard-earned music. If you like The Only Sons, you'll like Goolsby and what he has done on this album. The 6-song album is half the length of the band's efforts but packs the same punch that their albums do. Goolsby worked with fellow Murfreesboro, TN artist Joey Kneiser of the band GLOSSARY.

Walter Meego
Came across this thanks to YVYNL, yesterday. Here is another artist that is making good music but can't find an outlet to get his music on a label. I can't find too much about the artist [band?] but here is his [their?] album Wondervalley, for download.This is some well-done indie rock with a little bit of electronic layers. The first band that comes to mind is Vampire Weekend, in terms of the happy-go-lucky feelings VW leaves you with. Meego has a great voice to go along with his brand of pop music.

Curren$y
Well Curren$y "The Hot Spitta" dropped a bomb on New Year's Day. This mixtape has some great Curren$y material. This one features a few song produced by the rapper himself, which you have to applaud him for doing, however, a 2 minute outro of the same beat the song has used is a little unnecessary. There are some good artists featured on "Moon & Stars Remix", Big K.R.I.T. and Killa Kyleon, which help Curren$y on the dopest offering from the mixtape. The tape is a follow-up to his 2008 mixtape, Welcome to the Winner's Circle.
