Add some classic area bands to your music library for free

There are two great sites we've been diving into recently that offer free downloads of classic Huntington area bands.

First, our friends at WVRockscene have been compiling lots of West Virginia music at their BandCamp page. Along with free samples from current Huntington bands like Wine & Water (alongside a band interview in their most recent post), you can explore the right-hand column for free downloads of several bands from the past few years including Sarasota, Attack Flamingo and The Dig-Its.

Also, Dana White (Holden Caulfield) has a sweet collection of regional music downloads growing all the time: Exploding Eardrums. They're all hosted by MediaFire with the bands' consent and virus-free. In his words: "THESE ARE LEGAL TO DOWNLOAD. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS BLOG." Not bad advice at all when the list of bands includes 69 Fingers, American Minor, Chum, Füd, Holden Caulfield, Hyatari, Lincoln, Neutral Agreement, Rabble Rousers, Transistor Indiana.....
