Free music widget madness continues: Electrocute, Hope, Stephen Speaks

What would a Wednesday be if we weren't bringing you more free music? As promised...

Electrocute: If their tiger tights and adorably quirky outfits don’t pull you in, your eyes will be peeled watching them squish tables full of cake in between their toes on their “Bad Legs” video. Writes PlugInMusic.com: “a word of warning: they only look innocent.” This saucy duo landed in Los Angeles via Australia, writing electro punk that has generated two million MySpace plays. Catchy tracks have helped the ladies land coveted TV and movie placements (“Uh Oh” was featured on the Grey’s Anatomy season finale) and songwriting credits for megastars like Tom Jones and Britney Spears. Enjoy six free tracks from these wild ones on the rise, brought to you by Guitar Center.




The online music community has been hooked by Los Angeles artist Hope’s acoustic soul tunes. Reminiscent of Sade or Corrine Bailey Rae, the young vocalist has quickly amassed over 10 million plays on MySpace. This week, trueAnthem brings you her full album for free, in partnership with Simple Green. Her arrangements offer a beautiful minimalist approach, with soft acoustic guitar, piano and rhythms supporting smooth, breathy vocals. Hope has been busy recording for her upcoming Atlantic records release so catching her live these days is a rare treat. In the meantime, enjoy these tasteful, healing tracks. Check out "The Rain Don't Last"...a perfect lullaby for a Wednesday afternoon.


Oklahoma based acoustic rock/pop band Stephen Speaks launches a trueWidget this week with sponsor 3J Workshop. The guys were psyched to pair with one of their favorite clothing bands for their 11-track release “Symptoms of Love.” They’re actually wearing a 3J Workshop shirt on their album cover…and looking pretty sexy, we might add. The band keeps up a busy national touring schedule, feeding their impressive fan base--2000+ plays a day on MySpace, totaling over 4 million so far. Not bad for an indie band. Writing and recording for over a decade, brothers Dain and Rockwell Ryan’s hard work has paid off. Now let’s see what happens with the extra power of a trueWidget!
