Free Bad Bad Hats Debut LP

I wrote about Minnesota-based band Bad Bad Hats a couple years ago. At the time, the trio had just released their second EP, the poppy and catchy "It Hurts." That EP is still available for free on Bandcamp. Since then, I've been anxiously anticipating the band's debut full length, and I can finally stop waiting and start listening since the album was released today. Their debut full-length is titled "Psychic Reader," and the band has picked up right where they left off. I imagine I'll play this album quite a few times before the summer is over. And if you don't want to take my word for it, Paste Magazine recently gave the album a 9.0 / 10 in their review. Even better than an awesome new album though is an awesome *free* new album (which you can get by entering your email address here)!

Since the band seems keen on giving their music away, I highly recommend paying to go see them if they stop in your town. I have to assume they put on a really fun show. You can find their tour dates here. They've got a show in Minnesota in September playing with The Mynabirds.

So click here, get free music, and let it soundtrack some gorgeous summer days.

Free music update - Minnesota edition

Today's free music update comes in the form of a free download from St. Paul, MN based band Bad Bad Hats. In January, the band released their second EP, "It Hurts," which you can listen to below or download for the exceptional price of nothing! The first EP is also available on Bandcamp for whatever you choose to pay. Lead singer Kerry Alexander has an infectious voice that along with the lo-fi indie pop/indie rock sound of the band is a great summer soundtrack. I'll be anxiously keeping tabs on what Bad Bad Hats does in the future, but for now I'll content myself with enjoying "It Hurts" over and over again.




If you're in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area, the band has several upcoming shows to check out on their website.

While I'm at it, I figured I should link to now defunct Minneapolis group Big Strong Men and their free EP. It's a shame they parted ways because I've gotten a ton of mileage out of this EP. It's an excellent way to inject a little energy into any day. You can stream / download it below:



While the Big Strong Men have gone their separate ways, the members can be found in new bands Wild Cathedral and Savanna and The Saviors. Click on both of those band names for even more free music.
