This should keep you all busy. Note that all bands have a limited number of free downloads. So when it's name yr price, it's best to at least chip in $.25 (I usually do at least a dollar) so as to not use up their freebies. Many of these were discovered by the amazing Bill Goodman at The Soda Shop. Sorted roughly in order of my own personal excitement on first listen or three.
http://fellwoods.bandcamp.com/album/wulframOriginally called The Moss, Portland's Fellwoods play garagey psych with 70s proto-metal/prog influences. New EP Gyromancer also available, just for streaming at the moment. Fans of occult rock (Ghost, Devil's Blood, Uncle Acid) and Witchcraft/Graveyard, be intrigued!
http://colornoise.bandcamp.com/track/timeCosta Rican female duo play post-punk and stoner/garage. Brilliant new track "Time" is one of my favorites this year. 2011 album Fake Apocalypse available for $.99.
http://zeitgeist.bandcamp.com/Pittsburgh female punk band. First track "Alone" really perked my ears up, melodic like the best Avengers stuff.
http://boyjazz.bandcamp.com/A more flamboyant take on NOWOTHM focusing on the likes of Def Leppard, with some other hard rock elements. Fans of The Darkness and Rival Sons take note.
http://acidcosmonautrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dust-storm-warningI don't know much about this band yet, just that there is an EP floating around that I haven't heard, they're from Italy, and this just became available on Bandcamp via Acid Cosmonaut records, which may or may not be their own label. Some nice, bone-dry sounding desert jams.
