Three for Free - Free, Legal and Recommended Downloads

     Bands often temporarily permit free downloads of new releases.  The end of the offer may be based upon reaching a maximum number of downloads or the expiration of some period of time.  But at least for now, here are songs that qualify as Free, Legal and Recommended (FLR) downloads.

WARNING: This is an update dated June 11, 2013. Unfortunately, the bands have discontinued the free downloads of the songs. But we can still listen.

     The first FLR download is from As Elephants Are, a four-member band based in Buckinghamshire, England.  In 2012, the band received some attention when it released "War Cry."  Now, As Elephants Are has a double-header release.  Only "Lucifer" is being offered for free download, but we are including "Youth Blood" because, while we like both ends of the double header, we prefer "Youth Blood" over "Lucifer."

"Youth Blood" by As Elephants Are - Not a FL Download, but it's recommended

     Another U.K. band that intends to release a double header in March is LULS.  Of the two songs, only "Sympathy or Love" is offered as a FLR download. But we like "Young," which was released last year and is still a FLR download, so it is included below.  If you enjoy explosive guitar riffs and forceful choruses, the first song is a keeper.

     Moving to Ireland now, the third band is Notas.  They are a six-piece group from North County Dublin.
