Denmark's Hjörtur has posted a ton of new music for free download on their website in the last few days: http://www.hjortur.dk/

Swedish indierockers Voices Break the Silence have posted an mp3 from their brand new EP for download: http://www.vbts.se/ (under "media")
The band compares their sound to Trail of Dead, Fugazi and other likeminded rock bands.

Brand new exclusive mp3 today from Gbg-based indierockers Punk Of Country. Not only do these guys continually reach out to fans with free web-singles, but they're also showing their appreciation to supporters (like me) by passing along even more free stuff. I'm flattered! So yeah, not only do I benefit from feeling special, but so do you because now you have more great music to listen to. Enjoy!
