We all know the music industry is changing fundamentally, whether it likes it or not. It seems that lately it has become trendy to ditch record labels and give music away for free. Let’s hope this becomes the norm in the future, because my bank account is just loving this little experiment.

The latest full album to come out free of charge is from punk/skate rock staple Pennywise. Their album is available for free download (and DRM free - yum) through MySpace. All you have to do is add Textango as a friend and then click on the link they post in their bulletins. Its as free as it gets, and you’ll be able to download it for about the next week and a half. Otherwise it will be available in stores where you pay for things.

I just listened to the album, called “Reason to Believe,” and its a fun venture that sticks to the punk genre. It was certainly worth the time it took to download it, and it will be a good way to prepare for seeing them out at the Warped Tour this August.
