January Man by Victory Kicks – Free Music Feature MP3
Just released on the 22nd of July, Victory Kicks has a new single out called “January Man”. It’s pretty lovely and we think you’ll agree it’s worth a free download, as well as it’s b-side, “Letter to the Editor.” I’ll also tell you it’s off their new 7 song EP Rockets for Ghosts and you should pick that up too, although it’ll cost you a mere ₤3.50 (that’s like $5.)
These guys are based out of London, UK so if you are too, I highly suggest looking them up and catching them when they play a venue near you.
Go check them out…
- on their Bandcamp page
- on Facebook
- or on Twitter.
Hit up Victory Kicks on their Bandcamp page for this free download!

Free: Roaming Herds of Buffalo Debut Album
This Seattle band is, in my mind, producing some of the most darling indie nerd rock I’ve found in these last two years. There’s just something about Scott Root’s songwriting that makes me feel smarter and warms my heart. Roaming Herds of Buffalo’s music is well written and sounds like Scott’s found another group of enthusiastic musicians after Skeletons with Flesh on Them parted ways. As we’re now much closer to Seattle than we ever have been, I look forward to getting a chance to see these guys live very soon.
This is the best free (and quite possibly including your paid) album you’ll download this year.

Free EP from The Nature of Ghosts: Molded Chrome
Four free MP3s from the upcoming EP release “Molded Chrome” from The Nature of Ghosts. They won’t be free for very long, so download them fast if you want them!
Lonely minds, haunted nights, and empty bourbon bottles define the nature of ghosts southern gothic songs. They wander through rural back roads telling stories of a decaying American landscape filled with broken families, hard times, and unhinged killers.
TNOG’s E.P., Molded Chrome, pits the stories against a delicious sense of dark humor. Musically, multi-instrumentalist Allen Terhune’s songwriting, playing, and recording values have never been sharper.
Seeds for the nature of ghosts were planted in 1979 when Allen Terhune and Randy Combs walked into an ancient studio at Ball State University. Terhune played while Combs turned dials. The whereabouts of those vanished session tapes remain a mystery. Over the years, their passion for music and words culminated in the nature of ghosts project.

Junebug: On the Sidewalk – Free MP3
That’s right, JW Show favorites Junebug are about to release a new album called “Beards” (waiting until the end of Movember, I’m assuming) and so they’ve shot out this free mp3 taster for you called “On The Sidewalk”.
