Gasp - A Girl Called Glasgow
Bit of quality from Scotland.
Listening to the following a lot lately. You really have to take a listen to all this stuff.
http://soundcloud.com/craftopc Bluebird Sky is particularly good. Craft should be releasing an album soon, or so he told me. Looking forward to that.
Also Biomecca whom (with Craft) I discovered by watching the below.

Please Don't Leave Me Lonely, The Art of Flight and Nobody Loves You are favourites but I like all the tracks.

Their first album "The Pilgrimage" is free to download and its really, really good. Favourite tracks include Tangled Mind, Like Liquid, Foolish Ways, The Only Way To Live, Paradise Lost, You Know What They Say and Flow.
Also, The Untracked EP has some awesome tunes on.
The quality of free music nowadays is fantastic, I pretty much just listen to free stuff and then buy anything I like that they release after that, I honestly cant remember the last time I bought an album any other way, must be 18 months at least.
My favourite freebies are

Justice and Kaos from Australia - they released a track a week for 30 weeks, fantastic production and quality lyrics, I ended up buying this on CD to support the guys
