Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by Justin on Thursday, October 11, 2007 at 9:00 AM (EDT)

LA's the Danny Sling have followed the new trend of releasing for free online. You can grab their new EP Raw Safety at their Reverb Nation page.

Belgium's Die Out! have uploaded a new demo song destined for a 7" split with Our Time Down Here from Southampton (UK). You can hear "Whatever It Takes" at their MySpace page. They are currently on tour in Belgium, France and Germany, and will focus on composing new songs later this year.

Brooklyn's Firewater has posted a stream of their new album the Golden Hour on their MySpace page. The band features members of Gogol Bordello and Balkan Beat Box had been in hiatus while frontman Tod A (Cop Shoot Cop) spent three years in exile as a response to the 2004 elections, traveling to and collecting material from musicians in the Middle East and South Asia. The album will be officially released as soon as the band's collapsed independent label Jetset Records is replaced with another.

I listened to Firewater years ago, I thought they were done for good by now. Awesome!

I used to listen to Cop Shoot Cop. Sick band. Heard a little bit of Firewater just because I knew it was the vocalist but am more in awe that he was incarcerated. Need more of that story. Glad to hear he's out though and making music.

I don't think the story says he was incarcerated...rather that in protest of the elections it was a self-imposed exile from music/country, etc. I may be wrong but that is the way I interpeted.

The Ponzi Scheme is one of my all-time favorite albums. The following album I found to be a bit of a disappointment ... but I am seriously excited about new material ... great band!
