Free Indie Music for You – Cheese People
I was recently contacted by a guy, Gleb Lisichkin, who is an independent music promoter from Moscow. He provided me with a link and permission to distribute (free of charge!) the first release of an upcoming indie rock Russian band (English lyrics) that goes by the name “Cheese People.”
I’m not going to lie. I was pretty skeptical at first. Quality music usually doesn’t just fall in your lap. I was pleasantly surprised though. The music is a little different – more along the techno rock lines – but it’s pretty fresh. Cheese People have put together some pretty catchy tuneage. My housemate Steve is usually into the latest techno artists, and this album received the “Steve Stamp of Approval.” I haven’t taken a good listen to the lyrics… so I can’t make any comments on that content. We’re all adults here, right? Make your own decision 
Here are a few download links (rar) for Cheese People’s self-titled free music album (in case one goes down). The mediafire one worked for me.

In case you’re interested in some of the band/album info:
Cheese People “Cheese People” (2009)
The Cheese People are a female-fronted four-piece based in the city of Samara (small by Russian standards) on the banks of the Volga. They first started to jam in 2003, and after a few years of playing in local basements they found themselves in the position of Russia’s most powerful and popular disco punk band.
Their debut self-titled CD is a no-budget and self-produced recording, which however manages to sound more powerful and groovy than most Russian mainstream major-label pop. Due to its winning combination of catchy melodies, absurd lyrics, intricate sample work and unusual meowing vocal lines, this band can become an international breakthrough for Russian music.
Cheese People album has already been released in Russia on Snegiri Music (which also releases Messer Fuer Frau Muller recordings) and in Japan on Wow/Now Records. The album is to be released worldwide in May 2010 via iTunes and other online stores.
Some music critics have already compared the Cheese People music with Cansei de Ser Sexy, Datarock or New Young Pony Club. However, the band themselves say that they are more influenced by the likes of Prodigy and Gloria Gaynor, as it was hard to keep abreast of the modern music in Samara using slow dial-up connection.
Cheese People are not wasting any time and have already finished their next CD, which, surprisingly enough, is all acoustic. It is to be released in Russia in mid-April and you would be the first to know when it appears!
