Claire Rozario
Welcome to the Justin Wayne Show’s Free Music Feature blog, written by our own Claire Rozario! She features one new free track each week on the blog that’s hot, sweet and ready for your ears.
If you are currently offering a free song and would like Claire to consider it for her blog, contact her via email: claire (at) thejustinwayneshow (dot) com. Please include:
- A short description of your track and you (band, artist, or dog-and-pony show)
- A link to the site where it’s streamable, embeddable and downloadable – Bandcamp or Soundcloud are good options.
- Reason WHY she should include it.
If you’re a reader – that’s ACE and welcome. Let me know if you find anything that should be on this blog too!
Free Music: Paul Warner – Deadly Waterparks
Paul Warner is our Free Music Feature this week, offering his live album AND his brand new studio album recorded in the Georgia ‘boonies’. Deadly Waterparks is Paul’s first album he’s recorded with a band, and they’ve not just shown up to play parts, but they contributed throughout the songwriting process. It’s a great album, definitely worth a download if not a few quid/bucks in support!
Black Lab’s Free MP3 – Free Music Feature
Blacklab has been chosen for this week’s Free Music Feature because they are always offering a free mp3 on their website, and because our superfan Billy S. will be curating next week’s show number 128 and he has written very nice things about them…
Paul and Andy of Black Lab
One of the tracks being played today is by a band called Blacklab. This band rocks, and I remember in the late 90’s seeing Paul Durham and his band at a small club where we used to live. It was electrifying and was one of the indie sparks that remains to this day. Regardless of one’s age, artists come along that we connect with. Black Lab / Paul Durham in the late 90’s was a connection like Springsteen in the 70’s and Pearl Jam in the early 90’s was for me.
Click ANY of the Blacklab links on this page to head straight to Paul and Andy’s page, Blacklabworld and grab your free mp3 from the top of the page. The player embedded here DOES NOT give free tracks, however you can buy them from there or on the website including any of the albums they’ve put out over the last 14 years.
Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about Blacklab…
Black Lab is an alternative rock band founded in Berkeley, California and currently based in Los Angeles and Montana.
They released one album on Geffen Records, entitled Your Body Above Me, and scored two rock radio hits in the US, “Wash It Away” in 1997 and “Time Ago” in 1998. After leaving Geffen in 1999, the band signed to Epic Records, but did not release any material, and left the label after two years.
The band is now unsigned. They have independently released an EP and three full-length albums since 2003, the latest being Two Strangers released in October 2010. Passion Leaves a Trace, released in 2007, featured the single “Mine Again” and gained significant exposure through internet media outlets. Paul Durham and Andy Ellis are currently the core members, with Isaac Carpenter and Brian Paturalski accompanying in the studio.
“Take Me Home” EP – Circus Envy: Free Music Feature
“Take Me Home” is Circus Envy‘s debut album, released in 2008. This is an edited EP version with tracks not available elsewhere. They are kindly offering the MP3s at a “pay what you will” rate. You can get them for free or you can choose to pay a bit of money to the band to finance their next album. It’s GREAT northern English music and I highly recommend this EP to anyone looking for something with a bit of folk and and bit of class.

The Walla Recovery – She Said: Free Music Feature
This week’s Free Music Feature brings us a free mp3 from The Walla Recovery out of Fort Worth, Texas. These guys are making a quieter sound, but it’s certainly refined and heartfelt.
The free tune, “She Said” come from, and I am quoting now, “the band’s latest EP, With Trembling… respects the audience with its brutal honesty while challenging them to adopt its expectant hope. Consisting of pilgrims Brandon Reynolds (percussion), Jonathan Kaylor (cello/guitar), Justin Luningham (bass/cello), and singer-songwriter Zack Smith (guitar/vocals), The Walla Recovery offers euphonic versatility and familiarity with each live and studio listen.”
Broni – To Get Her, Together: Free Music Feature
Our free music feature this week (and free mp3s to boot) comes from a man called Broni. Brought to us by Ariel PR, Broni’s sophomore release, “To Get Her, Together” is honest, wistful, yet poppy enough to make you turn in your swivel chair.
Hook yourself up with a free copy of this disc OR you can even pay (wouldn’t that be novel?) It’s up to you, but it’s still available free making it our Free Music Feature this week.
I’ll stick the cool video promo he’s made to go with the album below. Enjoy!
