MPFree: Dark Bells - In Head
The never-ending tide of frighteningly good Australian guitar bands continues with Dark Bells who grace us with their free music today. They come all the way from Sydney and this is a completely epic slice of psych-tinged pop-rock.
Memory Tapes: For Camilla
Today's Memory Tape comes from Andrew Galvin in Portsmouth who made this mix for friend Camilla to make her feel better as she went through her treatment. It's an incredible story and a gorgeous tape for a beautiful person. Here he is in his own words:
MPFree: A Happy Sad – deM atlaS
You wouldn’t know it, but summer’s just around the corner. So to help you get through the rain and fog that we’re currently experiencing, today’s MPFree is a hip hop tune as care free and old skool as a six week summer school holiday.

Today’s free download comes from a former Vivian Girls bassist Katy Goodman, and a great slice of fun-time-punk-power-pop it is too.
Memory Tapes: Good Wedding Times
Today's Memory Tape comes from Mye Butler, and we must admit we do have a soft spot for alternative wedding playlists on this show. And as the sun is shining, why not let's a boogie
MPFree: Papercuts - Life Among The Savages
Well, the rain and the clouds are back just when we thought summer was about to douse our toes with some ray, we thought we’d try and lighten the tone by giving away some free music to you and yours. Today’s MPFree comes from across the pond and is by a chap called Jason Robert Quever.
