We love new music. We love free music. We hate digging around to find it. Enter Gorilla vs. Bear. They’ve been blogging about emerging artists since 2005, which in Internet time is roughly 2,000 years.
Here’s how they describe their site, in which they use glowing reviews to describe their site:
Gorilla vs. Bearis a Texas-based music blog. Once called “the New Yorkerof hipster blogs,” we blog about relevant artists of the day, with no particular genre-specific focus.Newsweekthinks we’re “influential.”
Head on over to Gorilla vs. Bear to discover some new music that makes your heart beat faster. Click on that big shiny MP3 button to get started (acutally it’s dull brown, but that sounds…well, dull).
Because all MFJ readers are law abiding citizens, you’re probably wondering if it is legal to download the tunes. Gorilla vs. Bear covers this in a disclaimer that says “mp3s for sampling only. you should really be buying this stuff on vinyl anyway.” That should absolve you of any downloading sins.
