Backyard Tire Fire: "Sick of Debt" EP free download

Don't you love free music, you freeloading hippie? Backyard Tire Fire has a six track EP called Sick of Debt for free. It's acoustic, it's twang, and it's good.

"We loaded into Oxide Lounge in Bloomington, IL on a cold December afternoon (12.17.07) to record a healthy dose of some acoustic Tire Fire twang. There had always been talk of sitting down in the same room and doing a stripped down recording and we finally found the time to do it! Some of these songs are favorites that have been around for years and never found a place on an album, while others were written only weeks before. All of the tunes feature our good friend Jerry "Muttonhead" Erickson on either dobro or pedal steel guitar and were recorded live with minimal overdubs. The result is a raw collection of some of our finest acoustic material that we decided to make available for FREE DOWNLOAD. Please enjoy and pass it around."
Ed Anderson

Colin MacIntyre: The Water

Colin MacIntyre

Scotsman Colin MacIntyre was formerly better known as the Mull Historical Society, the alias he used for his first three albums. The Water bears his own name and is continuation of his political songwriting, ending the album with Pay Attention to the Human, a poem written by Tony Benn. If you follow UK politics, you will find plenty of references, but for those who are not into that, The Water contains plenty of songs about other pet hatreds like the shallowness of being famous (You're a Star, Famous for Being Famous). MacIntyre serves up his songs as power pop with a hint of glam every now and then. Think Mark Bolan with a conscience.

The Water is released on Future Gods Recordings.
