Rio Bravo is a four piece indie rock-and-roll group from Wilmington, NC, influenced by Band Of Horses, Bon Iver, Kings Of Leon, Radiohead, Neon Trees, MuteMath.

The band combines raw feeling and catchy melodies in a unique sound. Micah Kolk's (singer) powerful voice and emotional songwriting is part of what gives Rio their edge. Partnered with Bryan Davis' (lead guitar) popular and commercial tendencies all on top of the rock solid rhythm section made up of Christian Black (drummer) and Ed Sumpter (bassist) they have been able to create something amazing.

Rio Brave, which debuted in 2010 with the full-length album "Fences", have just released a new EP, "Unbelievable Lie", that you can grab for free thanks to Noisetrade. Just click on the image on the left and follow the instructions.

I'd like to speak one more time of Matthew Mayfield, the American singer-songwriter from Birmingham, Alabama, former lead singer of alternative rock band Moses Mayfield.

After releasing a bunch of very interesting EPs, Matthew has debuted last April with his first full-length solo record, "Now You're Free". If you check back to my previous posts (just click on the Matthew Mayfield tag under this post), you can find the links to the three videos made for the singles from the album.

Now Matthew, in partnership with NoiseTrade, is giving you a new opportunity to download "Now You're Free" at no cost (he should rename it "Now It's Free"). If you still don't own this record, please make up for this situation now. Just click on the image on the left and follow the easy instructions.

Young The Giant are an interesting american alternative rock band that formed in Irvine, California, in 2004. Formerly known as The Jakes, Young The Giant was signed by Roadrunner Records in 2009 and released their eponymous debut album, produced by Grammy-winner Joe Chicarelli (Counting Crows, Manchester Orchestra, Big Talk, U2, Jamie Cullum, Tori Amos) almost one year ago.

To help promoting their 2012 North American Headlinetour, the band is releasing through NoiseTrade an EP consisting of 8 remixes of tracks featured on the "Young The Giant" album.

The EP is FREE and you can download it by clicking on the image on the left.
