After The Silver Fox Project called it a day (and a pretty good day at that!!), Tom Hollow has gone solo and has just released his debut EP, My Only One. You can get the whole EP for "pay-what-you-like" at http://tomhollow.bandcamp.com/

From his bandcamp page:

It has been twelve years since I first picked up a guitar, yet I consider the Tom Hollow EP just the beginning of an exciting journey Christ has set me upon.

Late 80's Mercedes are back! we've been jamming the new tune 'down with ya' since christmas as its pretty much the perfect summer song. Great news for fans of the boys, they're releasing the new EP at Parachute 2013, and even better you can grab the first single for free right now! Also this sunday night we'll be playing their last live EP in full from 9pm.

Single is below or you can hit their website for more.

Everyone loves free tunes - so here's some stuff you can churn through the bandwidth with - all free, and all 100% legit.

Seven music teachers all together making music - this is the most awesome idea ever. Head to the Sound The Ocean website to check details of shows they're playing this summer (including Parachute Festival!) and download their song "Understood" for free!

Our friends over at jesusfreakhideout.com have released the second in a series of free album samplers called Songs We've Been Trying To Tell You About (And Others We Haven't). Volume Two features 38 songs from a bunch of different genres, and includes Life FM artists like Andy Hunter, The Digital Age, Jason Dunn (formerly from Hawk Nelson), and Parachute 2013 artists White Collar Sideshow.

Start of the summer playlist = sorted.

PS If you didn't get the first volume, it's still free here. 

Question 1

Dear love doc. My step mum comes from a big family and she has daughters who are my age. One of them I have grown particularly fond of. Is it wrong to want to develop a relationship with her?

Question 2

My wife and I are going through a rough patch in our marriage because we haven’t been able to conceive. Recently we discovered that it was a fault of mine that we're trying to sort out. But my wife is so obsessed or focused on getting pregnant, it has caused a huge strain on our relationship and I'm worried she might leave me. How do I keep our marriage alive despite our current obstacles?

Question 3

My partner has recently been offered a fantastic job overseas, whilst I am currently doing what I love here in NZ. I don't see how we can both continue to do what makes us happy while living so far a part. What are our options do you think?

Worship band Esterlyn released Woven a few weeks back (iTunes FTW!!) and you can download a couple of tunes for free from noisetrade to sample the album. That's why it's called a sampler.

Question 1

I found out my mate cheated on his partner. I’ve since become good friends with his fiancé and feel she has a right to know. My loyalties lie with my mate and from what I know it’s not happening anymore, so should I just leave it alone? Problem is I feel like every time we all hang out it eats away at me just knowing.

Question 2

My Boyfriend and I have been dating for 17 months, I am 23 and you could say I’m quite keen to get married relatively soon. It’s not a topic we have ever discussed and I would like to bring it up with him, but I don’t know whether the ball is fully in his court. Should I start hinting or leave it up to him - after all God is in control?

Question 3

Life: My girlfriend of 3 years is brought up buddhist. She believes there is a god but my god is not the only one. She goes to church occasionally with me but is turned off with how much God is the centre of everything. I pray a lot. I want her to know God like I do so she understands. How to approach this?

Question 3

I have always had a difficult relationship with my Dad, but I feel like as I get older, the problem gets bigger. Im 22, single, working full time and living at home. As a girl, I have always wished to feel treasured and loved by my Dad and it's something I have always missed. I don't doubt that he loves me, but he doesn't show it nor does he show any respect for me. No matter how hard I try I always feel invisible to him and Im getting tired of feeling like a doormat. When I try and talk to him about it, he usually interrupts, cuts me off or gets angry and ends the conversation. What can I do so that he will see me as a real person?
