FREE DOWNLOAD: Tera Melos

We have no idea who Tera Melos is -- it's too late in the day for us to be bothered to do any research -- but they certainly piqued our interest with an EP of cover songs they're giving away (your choice of MP3 or WAV format ... sweet!). Sure they cover predictable bands like The Beach Boys and The Clash, but they also tackle solo Rivers Cuomo, The The Pixies, and Pete and Pete house band Polaris. And none of it is done in that grating mall emo/punk style that seems to infect about 98% of modern cover tunes.

The best part? The whole 5-song EP clocks in at under 9 minutes so even if you don't dig a single musical re-imagining -- and you will dig at least or more than one -- it's not like you wasted half your life listening to the thing.

Enjoy.
