Getting something for nothing

Unlike that recent 'sperm for festival tickets' fiasco, which turned out to be nothing more than a highly successful PR stunt, the Winning Sperm Party website actually follows through on its promise of offering free downloadable tracks from some of Scotland's best new bands.

Today's latest offering is the Dirty Summer EP, a blissful lo-fi clatter of buzzing synths and other unhinged instrumentation, their strangled yelps over the top of Friday Night At The JJB certainly compelling (if not a little scary when listened to with all the lights off in your flat). It'd be highly worth recommending as a paid-for release, so given that you pay nothing you really have no excuse at all not to visit the site and get your pretty little digital hands on it:

Oh, and while there you should also get the Shibboleth single by rock demonoids Dead or American, who were rather fantastic at Bloc in Glasgow last Friday. You won't regret it, and even if you do, you already have your money back.
