I realize that I've been covering a lot of indie artists when I also promised to follow mainstream bands so I'll put up a few big names over the next few weeks. Alkaline Trio has some pretty humble punk roots and have blown into a very mainstream band lately. Thankfully for those interested in free music, their older record label (Vagrant Records) has an impressive spattering of free songs from their older material. In the media page, each album listed has 1-2 free songs. As can be the case with punk, the material can be hit or miss from song to song but these are pretty good tracks with personal recommendations for "Mercy Me" and "Armageddon."
And before I finish, the title track from their newest album "This Addiction" is available for free from Spinner. The newer stuff has a heavier emo feel and sounds all too familiar to many other bands but is still good. Best of both worlds, huh? Enjoy!!
UPDATE: Turns out I forgot other sources of music. There are other record labels that have hosted Alkaline Trio but not many offer free music. This one has two free tracks from a dual album with another artist.
