The CLLCT

The CLLCT is a collective family of DIY (do-it-yourself) musicians. Everything, from the writing, vocals, instrumentation, and artwork is all done by the artists themselves and offers it all up free and legally by their own will. They have a lot of fun corresponding and collaborating together as well as brainstorming for monthly challenges. Some artists are more talented than others, but they all have their own thing to offer, from acoustic to electronic, and A LOT of playful cover songs! Basically, if you're an indie pop fan, The CLLCT CANNOT be missed!

As stated on the site's main page:
"We Are a community of music lovers (artists and listeners alike) that believe music must be free! Music would rather be heard than sold, so the honorable collective family artists graciously upload their releases for all to hear and download. Put these songs on your iPod! Burn them on CDs and give them to friends! Music is art, not a commodity. Music is awesome, and music loves you."

I've created a sampler for all to enjoy, most are amongst my personal favorites so far, in no particular order. If you like anything that you hear, don't forget to visit http://www.cllct.com , search for the particular artist, and download away! Sign up while you're at it!
