SXSW music artists offer up mega free downloads

As indie music artists from all over the globe converge in Austin for this year’s South by Southwest fest, much of the best music can be found online for free download. Indie artists don’t have ad budgets and distribution contracts with big box retailers. Making their music available free is simply the best way to connect with new fans who can’t make it to Austin to see them perform.

Want to sample the gigabytes of free music for yourself? Visit the SXSW music page for MP3’s or the unofficial torrent site for a complete compilation.
