Blacklist at SXSW07

Welcome to our new feature, Free Music Friday! Every Friday one of our editors will let you know where you can download music for free -- legally -- someplace on the web.

I saw the band Blacklist and interviewed them at this year's SXSW. Fronted by Josh Strawn, it's a great band with a dark, moody, brooding sound, like the Breakfast Club soundtrack gone goth. Songs like "Dawn Of The Idols" and "Exit" are reminiscent of bands like the Call and the Fixx. Blacklist has made a bunch of their songs available for free to download in the media section of their web site located at http://www.listofblack.com/. Check them out and let us know what you think.
