Knock Yourself Out / Filigar at SXSW + FREE ALBUM

Words // Scott Pingeton

Bands like Chicago's Filligar are a dying breed.  In a world of soulless buzz bands and overhyped hyphenated micro-genres, Filligar just fucking rocks.  Plain and simple.  They write from the heart and perform with a wild instensity, that's earned them a reputation as one of the country's best live bands.  I witnessed their live show for the first time during SXSW, and was pretty much knocked on my ass in a blaze of screaming guitars, pounding drums and roadhouse piano.

The band's excllent 2010 album The Nerve has been nominated for an Independent Music Award and to celebrate, they're giving it away for free (or whatever price you choose to pay).  Seriously, there's no reason not to do this immediately.  Here's everything you need...
