Ten Kens - Your Kids Will Know (spin.com)

Leftfield Toronto quartet Ten Kens release their eponymous debut album this month on FatCat Records. Their sound schizophrenically jumps between progginess, near-metal rock and droning repetition, almost like a jumpy, Canadian Mogwai. The US' Spin magazine likens them to No Age and Liars, and you can download this track exclusively from their site at www.spin.com/articles/exclusive-new-ten-kens-mp3.

Plump DJs - Torque Of The Devil (Subs Remix) (inthemix.com.au)

Awesome, throbbing return-to-form for the sometimes loved, sometimes completely overlooked DJ duo. In the run up to their fourth album - and fifteen singles into their career - maybe it's time the Plump DJs were afforded a little of the heritage and credence that's heaped on lesser imitators. This free track is available only from the Aussie dance site In The Mix at www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust/38632/Exclusive_Plump_DJs_free_mp3_on_inthemix.

Dresden Dolls - War Pigs! (wippet.com)

When the Dresden Dolls recently toured Europe and the US they hit out against the Bush administration with a cover of Black Sabbath's War Pigs. "We figured nobody could say ‘f*** this war s***’ like Ozzy could!" says Amanda Doll. Their performance at their homecoming Boston gig was taped and is only available as a 79p download. “We’re proud to offer this download exclusively,” say wippet.com. “You can’t get this anywhere else - no high priced PC maker or soft drink company posing as music lovers has the cajones to carry this one!"
