Indie Music Universe

Hailing from the ashes of multiple local San Antonio bands we all decided to strap down and play music that not only do we love to play but that we love to listen to. Young American is a blend of fast and slow, smooth and rough rock and roll that cant help but keep your attention! Every member of Young American has different influences including everyone from Third Eye Blind, Brand New and Recover, to Thrice, Rise Against and A Day To Remember. Our music flows from Arena Style Rock and Roll to catchy acoustic and honest story telling Pop.

One indie band, Officer Roseland, has decided to go against the grain and actually pay fans $1 to download their latest album, My Stimulus Package.

The band claims to already have over 1000 downloaders take them up on their offer. Upon arriving at the band’s site, www.mystimuluspackage.org, fans can choose to either take the dollar as a paypal payment or donate it to The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, a charity of the group’s choice.

With all the talk about music piracy issues and artists not making any money from album sales, this is definitely an interesting change of pace.  Didn’t think anything could beat free album downloads, did you?

Here’s a short video from one of the band members:
