FEATURED ARTIST
Fulton Read
Fulton Read yearns to play music for music's sake. Choosing to stick it to the man, they've begun giving away music on their website using the business model made famous by the Grateful Dead: "cheap-as-free". In fact, in addition to free music, the also provide free stems for musicians to play with. Musically, their songs are indie pop ear candy. Each song has a great feeling to it; distinct sonic poetry which draws the listener in. One song that is particularly good is "A Better Way", with its Ben Folds piano and driving feel.
