Tunecore is a facilitator getting paid by artists to place artist's material where it will be heard such as on a free sampler like this.

Taking advantage of the Sxsw event in Austin this month, Tunecore bring us a 29 track free mp3 sampler. I checked out their website found nothing about this sampler I'm not sure if these are Austin acts. Overall it is worth a download and listen.

Track 1 is The Vandelles playing Summer Fling. Summery sound much oohing, wooing and doing, echo sound subdued band. Okay song.

David Garza gives us Dead French Dudes. With a song title like that you have a idea of the type of song you are going to get. And you do. Ghastly sound irritating lyrics peppy beat. Danceable.

The Frontier Brothers play You Should Start A Band. Obvious joke aside startlingly unoriginal sound not good singing terrible lyrics more oohing, band tries to redeem themselves unfortunately this is just a bad song. Danceable.

Track 4 is Kid Infinity with P.Y.C.O. (Put Your Clothes On)Another synthesizer sound and late 80's style. Jerky bad noise over hay hay ho ho singing in the back ground (really). This is horrible. It may be a great dance hit.

Next up Dual Core with Kick Back. Nice bass on okay Rap song that repeats the song title.

The Niceguys rap about The Good Shepard. Complete with 4 letter words voices up front with a lot to say music in the background.

Track 7 Viper Creek Club bring us Eliza. More repetitive synthesizer sound better than earlier tracks with cool female vocals and a little more going on. Nice Dance track.

Carla Morrison gives us Yo Sigo Aqui(s/b acute accent over the i). More repetitive music behind more oohing this time over Spanish vocals. This is not Alternative this is dull.

Track 9 Amanda Shires plays Ghostbird. Strong female vocal over band lurking in the background. Band perks up country sound nice voice. Good song.

The Ben Miller Band play Cow Eyes. Very country vocal band and lyrics. Pretty sure this is not Alt. Rock.

The Hush by The Spring Standards is very country complete with opening fiddle and real country band sound. This is great I like it, it ain't Alt. Rock.

Track 12 Ferocious Few play Gasoline & Cocaine. Messy hill billy sound with all the requisite rhymes given the song title. Okay vocal strong band keeping up on this nimble song.

I Belong to Me by Richard Barone nice sound good song mellow band pleasant strong vocal on this neat simple song- played live like it even more.

Track 14 Words, Those Frames by The Monarchs. Female vocal opening piano band join in fast. Thoughtful sound and comfortable feel. Cool lyrics strong song great singer.

Jay Nash wants to Shake It All Off. Simple start allows predictable vocal to roll along. Very listenable song gets better as the band wake up and the song develops nice track.

The Zoltars play Homicide. The name sounds like a 60's band and the band sound like a 60's band until the vocals kick in. Great song brilliant twisted lyrics over initially innocent simple beat. Love it.

And the best band name is Gorilla Robot Ninja Bear playing Curtain Call. Pseudo punk sound and vocal. Nice track has energy w/musical and vocal hooks. Like it. Excellent hold the feedback note to end.

Track 18 is Queen Caveat who are In my Bed. Bossy squealy(I know) female vocal over jerky band playing in the gaps until they breakout. Song stays irregular and lacks cohesion. This is Alt. Rock and it rocks a little.

A Great Big Pile Of Leaves take the best band name away from the Bear with We Don't Need Our Heads. Great track that keeps on coming at you. Everyone going in the same direction keeps the song rocking along. Chorus is the title. Very cool song. Great Alt. Rock.

Track 20 is Ghosts by The Canvas Waiting. The good material appears to be at the end of this very long sampler. Another quality alternative song. Great vocal over good band playing excellent tune. Love it.

The Rocketboys play Brothers. Dreamy opening vocal over similar band. Stays dreamy even as the band wake up. Reminds me of Sting after he was great (which is not good).

Maneja Beto brings us Solo Quiserea. Real band join in over simple beat behind the singing. I don't know and I don't like it. It's alternative for sure.

Track 23 is Spread The Love by T Bird and the Breaks. Early Rap feel over R'n'B sound. Simple lyrics between the title repeated many many times. Shame, I wanna like it but how many times can you repeat Love, Spread The Love.

Jesse Boykins III gives us B4 The Night Is Thru. Solid beat over simple lyrics. Late night radio R'n'B staple feel. Song features frequent repeating of the song title which I don't like. Pretty good song maybe I'm not in the mood.

Aitan nearly sound late 80's but get out just in time as they open Nothing Without You. Remains a dance track that wants to be 80's and keeps going back, eventually becomes a great dance tune with neat catchy chorus I really like it.

Andrew Belle gives us Static Waves(feat. Katie Herzig) This track has featured on at least 2 other free samplers still sounds good. Nothing special (given the exposure)it is a nice mellow song.

Track 27 is David Berkeley with George Square. Singer songwriter brings us an unspectacular track. Nice music behind male vocal okay track would sound better on a s/sw sampler.

Antonio Lulic(acute accent over the c) plays Hey, It's Okay. Duet with female vocal both enjoy repeating the song title. Painfully simple lyrical rhymes guitar and vocals, song gets some emotion towards the end too late for me.

Number 29 is Owen Pye closing this sampler with Success. Another male vocal starting over acoustic guitar. Bitter whiny lyric, band joins in but the singer's whining never ends. Definitely a song sung from the heart written from life experience telling a story but jeez shut up will ya. Even the end sucks.

29 track mp3 monster sampler containing some great music. Windows Media Player inserts the Genre when you download, the entire sampler is shown as Alt. Rock. It's not although there are some great alternative tracks, there is good country and okay dance. Some other odds and ends and it's all free.

You've gotta down load this thing(you don't have to do anything) onto your massive hard drive and give it a listen delete what you do not like I'm sure there will be many but there are some gems don't miss out.

I enjoy all the different genres of music, so this sampler hit the sweet spot for me. I guess the litmus test for these free downloads is how many songs are keepers, and are they a springboard to finding, (and ideally purchasing) the artist's other music. In my case this one passes with flying colours. Stand outs are Kick Back - Dual Core are my nerd-core heroes after hearing this track, P.Y.C.O, The Hush - killer kountry, Gasoline & Cocaine, Homicide - outstanding track, In My Bed - assrocking in a Killers/White Stripes vein, Success. Just about every song is worth at least one listen, highly recommended.

Bands at SXSW March 24, 2011

Format:MP3 Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
I can't say i caught all of these bands down at SXSW, but the variety on this sampler definitely gives a pretty accurate picture of what takes place in Austin for the week of the conference (although not any metal on this comp).

Indie Rock from The Vandelles, A Great Big Pile of Leaves
Latin Alterantive from Carla Morrison...
Singer Songwriter from Jay Nash, Owen Pye, David Berkely and others
Rock from Zoltars, Gorilla Ninja Robot Bear,...
Hip Hop from The Niceguys...
Pop from Aitan, Rocketboys
Country Americana from Amanda Shires, The Ferocious Few

And a whole lot of music for all tastes.
