MUSIC NEWS - Our focus is on MotorCity, USA this time, as the LimeWire Store shines the spotlight on Detroit's current crop of independent artists in Ear to the Ground: Detroit. The selections, curated by the staff of Detroit Metro Times, the free 16-track digital-only sampler — available exclusively at LimeWire Store — is a broad overview of local acts who are keeping Detroit's rich musical history alive in the 21st century! Ear to the Ground: Detroit features contributions from local cult hero Rodriguez as well as bands-of-the-moment Deastro, Friendly Foes, The Hard Lessons, and Silverghost.
"We're very pleased to be associated with LimeWire and this compilation. It's already helping to spotlight current Detroit music on a national level," said Metro Times music editor Bill Holdship. "I even saw that Patrick Boissel of L.A.'s Alive Records featured a link to it on his Facebook page earlier today. Detroit has been facing its economic and social problems as of late, but the Ear To The Ground compilation proves that — from Rodriguez to Deastro — this city remains a breeding ground for some great music. Plus, the price is right!"
The album is available for free from the LimeWire store at LimeWire.com/Detroit .
