Starting today Daytrotter will offer four free songs to download seven days a week as opposed to the usual five days. The extra days are part of a trial run, which if all goes well this month will be continued throughout 2009.

Daytrotter, a Web site run by Sean Moeller of Davenport, records up and coming bands in its Rock Island studio and offers the songs for free.

Releasing recording sessions from a different band each day of the week, means more than 1,460 free songs for your mp3 player by the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Of Montreal, Spoon, Vampire Weekend, Ani DiFranco and plenty more up and coming bands and artists.

The Hush Sound, which toured with Fall Out Boy and All-American Rejects, is the first band featured under the one band a day format. For more information visit Daytrotter.com.
