Free YR Radio Features No Age, Chairlift, The Walkmen
By Seraphina L.
So apparently, Toyota really cares about the status of our independent radio stations today. Toyota Yaris teamed up with Urban Outfitters to run the Free YR Radio campaign to prove it. Does this make Toyota cool? Not really. Does making CDs with music we like on them cool? Yes – even better when you only have to pay 99 cents.
Next Tuesday, January 27, they will be releasing The Free Yr Radio 2008 Benefit Compilation (I know; They couldn’t have come up with a better title?), which features unreleased material from great bands like No Age, Yeasayer, and more. The CD is only available through InSound. By looking at the track list, you’ll get much more than the 99 cent worth though!
Help generate awareness for independent radio and check out the track list below!
