…and weirdo country thing’ is how their website describes Scott Andrew and the Walkingbirds, one of the best bands I’ve been introduced to recently. Not only does Scott and his band make great music, but they are socially conscious as well - they have partnered with the Creative Commons project to release some free music and Scott’s blog contains extensive entries about intellectual property, technology, and music distribution. If you want to hear some fresh and unique indie music, give the Walkingbirds a listen - there’s a bunch of free MP3s to download on their site.
