Three for Free, Legal and Recommended (“FL&R”) – The May Version

     Free and Legal Downloads? Yes, at least temporarily. Bands often temporarily permit free downloads of new releases.  The end of an offer might be based upon reaching a maximum number of downloads or the expiration of a set period of time.  But at least for now, here are songs that qualify as Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) downloads.

     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Here are songs that cover a range of genres - Rock, Pop, Electronic, and Grunge.
     “Santa Cruz Shredder” is a fusion of Grunge and Surf Rock. The song is about a female who is out for blood in Santa Cruz. The last lines:
Fresh blood on her lace
She had some fun
City of Santa Cruz
Population: Minus one.
      The song is by Crocodile Deathspin + The Tall King Dogs. Not easy to remember.

Released March 31, 2016
Guitars/Drums/Lead Vox: Crocodile Deathspin
Bass/Didgeridoo/Backup Vox: Louie Estopinan
Recorded/Produced by Crocodile Deathspin

     It’s a coup!!!
   Through most of “Drift,” the brooding vocals are the focal point, although the guitar work deserves attention. But just before the four-minute mark, the guitars start taking over. First, it's a television-ready atmospheric approach and then Rock guitars cooperate to build a protective wall of sound that muffle the vocals.
     Appollos are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The members are Seth Bostrom (vocals, guitar), Kevin Berens (drums) and Jake Larson (guitar, vocals).

     “I Am” by District 13.


     Heading in a completely different direction, imEmi gives us “Break Your Heart.”

Lyrics of “Break Your Heart.”
He leans in and he smells like cigarettes
but I'm only gonna break your heart
He takes it in and he smiles like you won't forget
but I'm only gonna break your heart, I'm only gonna break your heart
He feels like hope, but not like the one I want
He takes me home to the room of what you haunt
He's filled with dope but I'm trying so hard
He takes me home and it's gone too far

He makes it easy to talk, he makes it easy to walk
but I know that the feeling won't stop when you're on my mind
He makes it easy to talk, he makes it easy to walk
but I know that the feeling won't stop 'cause you're what I find

He leans in and he smells like alcohol
but he can't tell the world apart
I'm not all in so I know I'm not gonna fall
I'm only gonna break his heart, I'm only gonna break his heart
We go and sit on the floor of a record store
I find myself wishing I had a little more
and we go and get lost in a big city
and he tells me I'm looking like a little pretty

He makes it easy to talk, he makes it easy to walk
but I know that the feeling won't stop when you're on my mind
He makes it easy to talk, he makes it easy to walk
but I know that the feeling won't stop 'cause you're what I find

He doesn't know I was crying over you last night
He doesn't know I'd rather be with you tonight
He doesn't know what he can't pick apart
I'm only gonna break his heart
You still don't know I was crying over you last night
I didn't know she could make you feel the way that I didn't know
You're only gonna break my heart

He leans in and he smells like cigarettes
but I'm only gonna break your heart
His chagrin but smiles like you forget
I'm only gonna break your heart
