Half a decade ago there were only a handful of musicians who shared their music via file-sharing networks, but this has changed radically.
BitTorrent sites have slowly started to replace record stores, with peers taking care of the music distribution.
More and more artists and indie labels have decided to give away their music without charging a penny. Instead, they hope to gather new fans that will support them through concert visits and by buying merchandising.
At FreakBits we are more than happy to support independent artists who publish their work for free on BitTorrent. One such band that recently uploaded its music onto BitTorrent and various other places is Citizen Collision.
“Citizen Collision is a band from Dallas, TX, ranging from rock to acoustic in genre. We offer all our music for free,” band member Caleb Killingsworth told FreakBits. “We feel that you should get our music from us instead of paying a company for it.”
“We all know most artists make the majority of their money from ticket and merch sales and that’s why we don’t charge for our music.”
“You can download Citizen Collision music off of most major music trackers, or download it from a new site I just launched for musicians to share their music, with no compression on your tracks like other music services,” Caleb added.
Of course the best way to get your music out to the masses is by uploading it to some of the major torrent sites, and that’s why you can also grab a copy from The Pirate Bay.
