We’ve talked in the past about exploring new models for distributing music and still making ends meet. Well, we’ve got something new that we’re testing out. Download our music free here and we still get paid (guilt-free for you!!!):
Both albums: http://www.gimmesound.com/TheMotionSick-1/
Rarities: http://www.gimmesound.com/TheMotionSick/
The site requires a quick and painless signup and we only get paid for downloads (that is the arrow next to the song), not for streams. Check it out and download away until you’ve got it all!

The band has been holding top-secret meetings in a secret, undisclosed lair inside a volcano to work out the details of our forthcoming album. We plan to post some demos and some peeks into the songs along the way so that you can be part of the whole process. Be sure to keep an eye on our blog at for those updates.
