Matt — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:36:22 +0000

It’s been a few years (five, to be exact), but Jennifer Knapp is back! Her new album Letting Go is due out next month, but the first single “Dive In” is available right now, for free. If it’s any indication of how the new album going to sound, it’s going to be good. Anyway, you can pick up “Dive In” for free from Christian Rock Rocks. Check it out!

Swagbucks/VideoRockets Updates

Matt — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:09:15 +0000

I’ve got good news and bad news, which would you like to hear first? I don’t know about you, but whenever anyone asks me that question, I always ask to hear the bad news first. So that’s what I’m going to share first…

Alas, after being a regular source of free music videos for the past several months, VideoRocket.com has announced that it’s merging with HearItFirst.com. I haven’t heard anything official, but by the looks of it, that means the end of the free music videos. We’ll miss you VideoRocket. *Sigh*

Now for some good news – if you happen to be a member of Swagbucks.com*, you can now get a guaranteed 2 or more Swag Bucks a day by review the “No Obligations” page on Swagbucks.com, and if you’ve got the Swagbucks toolbar installed, you can win one Swag Buck for just using the browser you’ve got it install on. Plus, ever since Swagbucks’ birthday last month, they’ve been releasing Swag Codes almost everyday worth anywhere between 3-20 Swag Bucks. Definitely worth keeping an eye on if you’re saving up for something.

Well, that’s it for this post, consider yourself updated.

Calling Out Closer

Matt — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:23:45 +0000

Free music today from Calling Out Closer, an indie Christian band from Pennsylvania. They released The Parallel EP in December of last year, and for New Year’s they uploaded two of the b-sides from that EP to their website as a free download. The songs amount to an acoustic version of “Broken Still” from COC’s debut album Stars and Broken Hearts & an instrumental demo version of “The Difference Between Fantasies” from their new EP, both of which are definitely decent songs, especially considering they’re both b-sides. What do you think of them?

The Weekly Downloads: Mar. 9 ~ Mar. 15

Matt — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 02:02:42 +0000

I was pretty excited Tuesday morning when I logged into New Release Tuesday, and saw not one but two downloads, Sanctus Real’s “Forgiven” and Passion’s “Our God”. I haven’t had a chance to listen to “Our God” yet, but “Forgiven” is Sanctus Real’s latest single & a downright amazing song, so if you ask me, it’s a must-get. Enjoy!

-NRT’s Free Music Page-

Also sporting two trendy new downloads this week is iTickets, with Robbie Seay Band’s “Miracle” and Carlos Whittaker’s “Rain It Down”.

Next up is a download from Addison Road, courtesy of FreeCCM – this is either the fourth or fifth free song I’ve gotten from their self-titled debut.

-Addison Road “Start Over Again” on FreeCCM-

Wrapping up this week’s batch of downloads is Stellar Kart’s “Everything Is Different Now” on Tangle.com. Since that song is already available from at least two different websites it’s not all that exciting to see it available again, but what is exciting is the fact that Tangle’s updated their website, which will hopefully mean more free tunes from their each week.

-Tangle.com-

That’s it for this week, and by the way, you may have noticed I’ve been trying to keep these a bit shorter then I used to. That’s because most of the downloads are often available elsewhere, and I’d rather be working on something that many of you don’t already have. That said, hang on, because there’s a lot more new music coming soon.

Newsboys “Born Again” Free Download

Matt — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:26:45 +0000

It’s true! You can snag a free download of “Born Again” from a widget on Newsboys.com, by merely filling in your name and email address.

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past half year or so, Born Again is the title track from the Newsboys’ latest album, which is also the first album the Newsboys have released since Michael Tait stepped up as lead singer for the group. I’ll be honest, it’s a different sound, different, but still good. Check it out!

New Songs Available On AmazonMP3

Matt — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:13:02 +0000

AmazonMP3 has been adding loads of free mp3s lately, including several by Christian artists, namely, Before Their Eyes, Chasen, and Stellar Kart.

From Stellar Kart, we have the title track from their brand new album Everything Is Different Now, which is also available on FreeCCM.

-Stellar Kart “Everything Is Different Now” on AmazonMP3-

From Chasen, a great song & one of my favorites from them, “Eyes of A Rescue”, also available from FreeCCM.

-Chasen “Eyes Of A Rescue” on AmazonMP3-

And, lastly, the latest single and very cool song “Sing To Me” from Before Their Eyes, from the band’s latest Untouchable. I like this one a lot.

-Before Their Eyes “Sing To Me” on AmazonMP3-

I’d recommend picking up all three if you’re able. Also, those three are in addition to the many Christian songs already available on AmazonMP3, like BarlowGirl’s “Hello Sunshine”, Big Daddy Weave’ “In Christ”, Rachel Lampa’s “You Lift Me Up”, and Jaci Velasquez’s “Adore”, plus more besides. Enjoy!

Free Sampler from Cindy Morgan

Matt — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:57:14 +0000

Free music today from Cindy Morgan, who you may recognize as the songwriter behind songs like “How You Live (Turn Up The Music)” and “Wishes”, both of which were recorded by Point of Grace.

Anyway, you can download 5 of her songs, “Beautiful Bird”, “Fine”, “When It’s Love”, “Lion and the Lamb”, and “In These Rooms”, for free from NoiseTrade. All 5 are from her album Beautiful Bird.

To make the deal even sweeter, NoiseTrade recently update their website, making it possible to download free music by just providing your email address and zip code, rather then having to either email five friends or pay-what-you-want for the album. Personally, I’m excited about the new system, since it means I can download music and then, if I like it, recommend it, rather then recommending it and then downloading it. Anyway, check it out!

Don’t Blink

Matt — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:38:40 +0000

Free music today from Revive! The band is giving away their brand new single, “Blink”, for free through their website. It’s a good song, quite a bit slower then “Chorus of the Saints”, but still very solid. Incidentally, “Blink” is also the title track to the new album from Revive, due out June 22. Enjoy!

The Weekly Downloads: Mar. 2 ~ Mar. 8

Matt — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:04:16 +0000

First up this week, New Release Tuesday has not one but two cool new downloads, from Pocket Full of Rocks, and Satellites & Sirens. The songs are “Jesus Died My Soul To Save” and “Anchor”, respectively. “Jesus Died My Soul To Save” actually has a bit of a folk/country vibe, while “Anchor” is a pop/rock jam, but their both pretty good.

-NRT’s Free Music Page-

Next, iTickets has a free download of “Revolution”, from Bryon “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers. That’s the same Mr. Talkbox from TobyMac’s Portable Sounds, to give just one example of his work. “Revolution” is from Bryon’s new solo album, My Time.

-iTickets’ Free Music Page-

Another new song available this week is Karima Kibble’s song “So Happy”, from GMC. In fact, the music video for “So Happy” has been doing quite well on the GMC charts, where’s currently residing at #5, beating Switchfoot by one.

Rounding out this week’s line-up is “Be Mine”, from VOTA – you can snag the mp3 of that from FreeCCM.

Till next time…

Francesca Battistelli

Free music today from Francesca Battistelli! I’ve actually got two free songs for you today, “Beautiful, Beautiful”, and the acoustic, Dented Fender Sessions version of “Free To Be Me”.

While both songs are from Francesca’s My Paper Heart Deluxe Edition album, both songs are available from different websites – “Beautiful, Beautiful” from a Twitter widget, and “Free To Be Me” from AmazonMP3. Both songs are well worth getting if you have the opportunity. Enjoy!
