Now Available: Free Album Download - Get Thorny 2

It’s The Bleeder Blog’s One Year Anniversary!
Yup, this blog and website has been up and running for a full year now, so it’s time to celebrate with some free new music, woohoo!
When we launched The Bleeder Blog in December 2008, we did it alongside a free album download, titled Get Thorny. It featured sixteen tracks by sixteen up and coming independent artists, and the response was overwhelming. In the past year we’ve had thousands and thousands of music fans from all over the world download the compilation and fall in love with some new artists which they probably would never of had the chance of hearing before.
So now we’re doing it again with Get Thorny 2. Seventeen tracks from seventeen amazing independent artists in glorious 320 kbps MP3 high fidelity. Each track has been carefully filtered through our Thorny Bleeder ears to ensure that we pass along nothing but the finest to our listeners...Click To Read More...
Top 50 Albums Of The Decade

Here it is, a music nerd’s list of my Top Albums Of The Decade, from 2000-2009.

So to remedy this situation I’ve created two lists: a Top 25 for Hard Rock and a Top 25 for Alternative & Indie. Each list is below...
