Richmond, Virginia's Robotic Empire has made the label's latest sampler CD available for free download in it's entirety via hxcmp3.com. The free sampler has a total of 17 tracks, most of which are unavailable elsewhere, including previously unreleased songs from Torche, Ultra Dolphins, Red Sparowes, Pygmy Lush, Grails, Versoma and more.

The files are available as 192kbps MP3s and a CD version will be available beginning on Torche's upcoming tour dates with Mogwai in May. Following that they will be available on tours featuring Robotic Empire bands and given out free with mailorders through Robotic Empire's Online Store.

aren't you supposed to go to a label's website for free mp3s? isn't that how they promote bands?
basically, what I'm saying is that label samplers are shit an need not be made.

Not everyone has the internet dude

UncleFunkyPants (April 29, 2006)

The whole hooplah about this news is that they posted a label sampler for free ON THE INTERNET!

Timis (April 29, 2006)

they could be on heaven forbid - dialup

UncleFunkyPants (April 29, 2006)

if you guys are going to play hardball...
they could just leave their computer on over night.

oh ok, well, you gotta think that your average lazy person isn't going to go out of their way to check out stuff band by band, this just sorta packages it all together. It's also on there for you average hxcmp3 browser who probably has no clue about Robotic Empire.

There's still a lot of people that don't have the internet. Also, people may be more likely to give something a listen if they're handed a CD as opposed to having to search it out themselves online.

Capsule fucking rules.

Someone tell me which of these are good. I don't want to download them all only to find out that it's shit, but (as stupid a reason as it is) Robotic Empire is an awesome label name, so I want to give it a try.

Capsule/Red sparowes/Gregor samsa/Pink razors/Torche..and that windmills by the oean is really good too.

skaboom (April 29, 2006)

Pink Razors especially. Fun, sloppy Screeching Weasel-esque pop punk.

kindofalongwaydown (April 29, 2006)

Holy shit...Check out the grails song too.

fritobandito (April 29, 2006)

honestly, almost every single one of those bands is fucking awesome. no joke. particularly the post-rock goodness that is Red Sparowes.

except Magrudergrind. I don't like them so much.

Someone (April 29, 2006)

magrudergrind rules

Someone (April 29, 2006)

Someone (April 29, 2006)

i find it amusing how close mathcore and post-rock (dumb fake-genre names, i know) have become in recent years.

Post math will be next.

But seriously, all this labeling needs to stop.

Someone (April 29, 2006)

Hells yeah, new Red Sparowes song!

Someone (April 29, 2006)

Am I the only one who was excited to see a new Ultra Dolphins track? It actually kicks ass too.
