In our music discovery spotlight this week, we showcase another selection of free promotional tracks that cover a wide range of genres designed to broaden your musical horizons :

The Prairie Cartel

The free music download, No Light Escapes Here, is a track from the electronic band, The Prairie Cartel. There's also the No Light Escapes Here music video that you can stream or download. Incidentally, their music has also been featured in the video game, Grand Theft Auto IV. The Prairie Cartel's new album, Where Did All My People Go is now available via their MySpace page; the digital release is slated for release on Oct. 27.

The Toxic Avenger

Not to be confused with the 80s American cult classic comedy of the same name, The Toxic Avenger is a French electrothrash producer. The free promotional track, Toxic is Dead, is a hardcore mix of electronic sounds ranging from fat bass lines to distorted synths - similar in style to the Bloody Beetroots that we covered in a previous blog. The new album, Scion CD Sampler Vol. 26: The Toxic Avenger, which also features remixes from: Designer Dr*gs, The Juan Maclean, Ladytron, and others, is now available from the iTunes Store, AmazonMP3 and other top digital music services.

French Miami

The free track, God Damn Best, is taken from French Miami's self-titled debut album. This free song showcases French Miami's unique sound of post-punk mixed with synthetic sounds. The French Miami CD/LP album is in stores now and is also available digitally from leading digital music services.
