You may have noticed that our Summer Membership Drive is going on right now at KEXP, so we’d like to take this opportunity to remind our supporting members of one of the many services that your financial support helps provide... FREE MUSIC!
Yes, you certainly do hear plenty of that on our airwaves and streaming live on our webstream, but we also provide regular features on the KEXP Blog, like this one, to help keep you current with new music and give you the tools for you to discover even more music on your own. In features like Out This Week, we hunt down the latest MP3s and other downloads, plus many interesting new videos, for you sample at your leisure or load into your portable devices.
Just look at this week’s list, which contains some of the bands you’ve heard from before, like Black Lips, Battles, Arctic Monkeys, Fucked Up, and We Are Augustines (containing band members from Pela). There may be a few artists here you’ve heard about but haven’t listened to yet, like maybe City and Colour, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., or Frank Turner. You’ll also find plenty of newer bands that could be the “next big thing” or just your “new favorite thing”, like maybe Cults, Givers, The Wooden Birds, or Hooray for Earth. New songs by international artists like Orchestre Poly-Rythmo and Jóhann Jóhannson allow you to widen your palette, while you can relive past glories with a selection of veteran artists who have either reunited, disbanded or just continue to soldier on, like Atari Teenage Riot, Le Tigre, and New York Dolls.
And that’s just in this week’s new releases. Each week, we offer the latest new tunes provided by labels, artists and promoters, and point you in the direction to other blogs, like Largehearted Boy, where you can discover even more great music. All of this, though, wouldn’t be possible without your support. Help us continue to provide you with lots and lots of FREE MUSIC with a donation of any amount.
And now... enjoy the music....
