Mogwai

First off, everyone's favourite Scottish post-rock band Mogwai are offering a free download of "The Sun Smells Too Loud", a track from their next album The Hawk Is Howling (due out on the 22nd of September).

Christchurch Festival

These next two bands I'm slightly more excited about because they'll be playing at Christchurch Festival (in Christchurch) tomorrow (Saturday), and they sound very good.

Hundred Days

This is the Yeovil-based band as opposed to The Hundred Days, who hail from San Francisco.

Hundred Days are of an unmistakable traditional rock genre—with sounds influenced by the likes of Velvet Revolver, early-90's Chili Peppers and Led Zeppelin—and yet have a very fresh and lively sound in a way similar to Hellcyon (with their previous vocalist).

There are six tracks available from their Myspace and they'll be starting their set at 1.55pm.

The OtherHalf

Next up is a bit of a more indy-themed outfit. Their sound is similar to a strange mash of The More Assured, Boston, possibly a bit of The Pigeon Detectives and something more rocky like Hellcyon (with their previous vocalist).

There are four tracks on their Myspace and their set is at 6.10pm.
