Jack Peñate - Tonight's Today

The Team Love Library

When Team Love started we had the simple and possibly self-defeating notion that posting all our albums on the website as free downloads would be a good detour around the wreckage of the music industry and a way to avoid getting bogged down in the number one topic of discussion and distraction: piracy, illegal downloads, P2P networks and so on.

Five years later and the debate still drones in the background, and while some bands have adopted a mutated version of the “free download” (pay what you wish, etc), we’ve decided to reshape out policy in a different direction and introduce the Team Love Library. Each month (or so) we’ll be rotating the Library’s selections, featuring different Team Love albums as well as exclusive content such as unreleased songs, live or remixed versions of TL favorites.

Very smart – they’re currently giving away 6 albums (all of which are slightly old, I think) of MP3s for nothing (other then your email address). A nice way of utilising old catalogue to help promote new records.

Only slight issue is that I couldn’t download anything due to pesky country restrictions (they don’t put out most of these releases in the UK), but that comes with the territory* …
