The South by Southwest 2007 organizers released an official torrent showcasing bands featuring 739 mp3s, 3.1 Gb worth. Free!
I started at AA Sound System and I’m going to listen to it straight through to Zykos. As far as I can see there are zero repeated bands and I’ve only heard of maybe 10% them. What a perfect way to discover new music.
Here’s the SWSX page and the direct torrent link. (I use uTorrent)
