It’s the fourth of July and what else could I recommend only some of the best new music from the U.S. So today I’m recommending you download the first track from Washed Out’s album ‘Within and Without’. Washed Out is the brainchild of Atlanta, Georgia producer Ernest Greene. Within and Without is released in Ireland this Friday.
Every Monday I recommend some free music for you to download. This week’s recommendation comes from The Mighty Stef‘s sideproject ‘Steel Horse’. This is a solo effort by young Mr Murphy takes the troubadour into garage punk territory. It also features a cover of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Zero.
This 4 song EP was lovingly created using:
1 x Human Male
1 x Acoustic Guitar,
1 x Fuzz Pedal,
1 x Toy Keyboard,
1 x Nasty-Ass programmed Beat
Infuenced By: The Things, Devo, Moldy Peaches, Jeff Lewis, Magazine, 80’s Matchbox, Billy Idol, The Cult, The Casio Keyboard, Digital Fuzz. All kinds’a Crap.
This week’s recommended Free Music comes from The Knocks who gave Alex Winston a helping hand when she was starting off. They have also produced and done some remixing for Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Marina and The Diamonds.
Ben B-Roc Ruttner and James Jpatt Patterson are now making their own music and shared stages with the likes of Sleigh Bells, Ellie Goulding, M.I.A., Chromeo and Big Boi. Definitely an act to keep an eye on.
This is from their Facebook page, for an email address you get their super funky version of The Temptations’, Ain’t Too Proud To Beg.

Ed Sheeran is an infectious singer songwriter who is about to take over your radio waves with his new single ‘The A Team’.
