Well another year goes by, actually come to think of it another decade has just slipped us by. What a strange trip it has been, between the crazy elections, wars, celebrity deaths, and overall madness we had some pretty good music come our way. So without further delay here are some of the worst and best of 2009, and perhaps some last minute gift ideas for that music fanatic in your life. Thanks to all for the support and see you in 2010 in better spirits.

Industrial

16Volt – American Porn Songs: Eric Powell’s follow up to ‘Full Black Habit’ was like a vicous left hook. This one was truly raw, dark, and enough crunch to crush those precious ear drums of your’s. Honestly I have not heard music anywhere near this caliber since the pinnacle days of Prong and Killing Joke. Eric brought back Steve White of KMFDM, Mike Peoples, and Jason Bazinet. This line up is the best to date for the band and has added a level of edge completely unseen in today’s world of music.

Here is the deal.
We have decided to give away our entire back catalog and make it freely and openly vailable to anyone and everyone who wants to hear it. We want you to give it to your friends, your enemies, your family, share it with everyone, everywhere. Our goal is to get it out to the people more than it ever has. We want everyone to hear it, own it and share it. Use it for whatever you want as long as you aren?t making any money off it. You can?t resell it. As a matter of fact we have some more de?ned creative commons licensing stuff you an check out here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/

Why are we doing this?
We had a review in a magazine several years ago that said “16volt is the greatest industrial band you?ve never heard”. Now while the greatest band part is heavily debatable, we realize that although we have been around a long time, there are still so many people who have not heard 16volt. Our hope is that by doing this, we get more fans. We get more people to our shows, we get more people into the 16volt music. So again. Take it. Share it. PLEASE help us spread the word. We need your help. Get this music out to everyone! we want it all over the world. Make cd?s give them out at shows, make torrents and upload them, share it, share it, share it. Let people know about this, send them the links. THIS IS PURE VIRAL DISTRIBUTION. This is a new model of music sharing. We aren?t asking you for anything. There is no multi-tiered pricing structure, it?s free. No obligations. If you want however we have setup a paypal donation button at our site. If you want you can donate some money to us. $1.00. $500.00. Whatever you want. It doesn?t matter, and it?s purely optional. The priority is to get the music out.

We hope you will be a part of spreading this music and seeing the results. We truly believe that if people listen to it, they will like it and it will give us the opportunity to go tour more, to get over to Europe, Australia, Japan, etc. if the demand is there, we will make it happen.

So go now. Spread it. http://16volt.com/downloads
