Columbus

Columbus are yet another great band coming out of Canada. Unlike most of their peers though, Columbus are making perfect 60s style pop music that still sounds entirely contemporary. I realise I’ve used such descriptions a fair bit recently when describing various bands, but there’s seems to be an awful lot using 60s sounds in a modern way lately, and I’m all for it.
Back to Columbus though. They are from Edmonton, playing to packed shows even though they only have one EP under their belts. It’s not hard to see why though. Their music is non-demanding (which really is a good thing sometimes) and catchy. The kind of thing that’s perfect for spring actually.

There’s a ton more information about Columbus, including how to get hold of their EP, on their website. You can also hear a couple more songs on their Myspace page.
More free music than you can shake a stick at..
Most of you are probably aware of the awesome deal from the good folks at EMusic where you can get 50 completely free mp3s. These are DRM free, and can even be played on your iPod, and there’s absolutely no commitment to purchase further music.
Did you also know though that Audiolunchbox are offering exactly the same deal? That means you can get another 50 free mp3s from a wide range of indie artists. If you’ve already taken advantage of the EMusic deal, it’s exactly the same process for the Audiolunchbox, so head on over there and get another 50 songs!

Full disclosure: I get a small kickback if anyone who does take up these offers using my links. This is simply used to help fund my server costs and the such. For what it’s worth, I’ll only pimp shit that I fully endorse myself, and both of these companies get the thumbs up from me.
