Free Music: MARY SHELLEY OVERDRIVE

Beginning in late July, South Carolina's Mary Shelley Overdrive began releasing it's new album PENNY DREADFUL VALENTINE on various sites around the Internet. The band is releasing the album track-by-track, debuting songs on individual websites as free downloads before making the tracks available at a webpage devoted to the album.

So far they've released songs at The Manchester Morgue and the Dread Media podcast. The third song, an Alien-inspired tune titled "Derelict," is now available for download at Building a Drain to House the Insane.

The band has quite a few other albums available at various places around the blogosphere, including an EP featuring a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "This Ain't the Summer of Love" that I'm pretty sure was co-produced by crystal meth. There's also an LP of original songs for sale at Amazon that references everything from Galaga, The Crow, porn, Satanism, commie astronauts and werewolves.
