Epic Freebies

NAME YOUR PRICE - So Nice!!

Epic Freebies on Bandcamp:

SUNDRIFTER: Vistitations

Let's start local:  From Boston, Massachusetts, Sundrifter just released their second album, and it's truly impressive, and a no-brainer of a download.  This band is happy to let you download "Visitations" for free if you'll just spread the word, assuming you like it.  Harry Harrison, one of 120 Bandcamp users who voluntarily paid cash for this freebie, summed up Sundrifter's sound far better than I could, like this: "A little bit of Kyuss; a dash of Sasquatch; a hint of Naam mixed with a tad of Sound Garden with an added helping of a ‘wall of sound’ provided by Steak. Throw in a bit of QOTSA and all this diversity gives Sundrifter."  Hear for yourself:

Sundrifter is:

Craig Peura- Vocals, Guitar
Patrick Queenan- Drums
Paul Gaughran- Bass

KAYLETH: Colossus

Next up, from Verona, Italy, is Kayleth with their sixth "name your price" release.  Kayleth's  guitar player, Massimo, reminds me at times of Mike Vitali from Ironweed and Greatdayforup, and that is no small compliment.  Kayleth's songwriting is really impressive, and includes great rock ideas from multiple decades.  Each track on "Colossus" brings something different to the table.  Here is track #2, "Forgive."  This one deserves some volume:

Kayleth is:

Massimo Dalla Valle: Guitar
Alessandro Zanetti: Bass
Daniele Pedrollo: Drums
Enrico Gastaldo: Vocals
Michele Montanari: Synthesizer

BLUE CHEESE: Reborn Into Void

Finally, from Montreal, Québec, is Blue Cheese.  Dirty, slightly fuzzy hard rock with some truly different but cool vocals.  Weird that Bandcamp says the album releases in April of 2018, but you can download it right now.  Here is the longest track on Reborn, "Dealer":

Blue Cheese is:

Chub : Vocals,Drums
Meredith :Bass, Vocals
Vick Trigger : Guitar, Vocals

I hope you feel like there's a been a second Christmas, with these three high quality freebies in mid-February.  You'll see I paid a few bucks for each of these releases on Bandcamp (I'm "ultramegadeth") because I liked them so much, but there is certainly no shame in grabbing them for free.  These bands are hoping you'll download their work and spread the word, as word of mouth is like gold for them.  

If you've never used Bandcamp before, just click on the blue links, then  click "buy the full digital album".  No credit card required; just an e-mail address, and the only e-mail you'll ever get from them is a "thank you" for downloading, and then notifications anytime the band releases another album.  That's it.

Hope you enjoyed these tunes and albums as much as I have, and I wish you a heavy heavy weekend.

Until next time    -ULTRA
