Flying In From Milan It's...

Six Red Carpets
Genre: Rock / Alternative
From: Milan, Italy

Italian trio Six Red Carpets have taken a leaf out of the Radiohead book in releasing their debut album 'Nightmares & Lullabies' as a free download via their website. Yes that's free, gratis, without the need to part with any money! And there's not even an honesty box in which to deposit any of your virtual currency!

Whilst this was considered a bit of a risk for a band with the international profile, back catalogue and impressively large and loyal fanbase of Radiohead it's tantamount to commercial suicide for an unknown Italian band making their way in the cut throat music industry.

Unsurprisingly the bands free release has been received with a little more than a bored yawn compared to the world wide fanfare and 'new musical commercial model' hyperbole that accompanied the release of Radioheads' 'In Rainbows' .

But gradually the blogging community has started to cotton on (check out Six Red Carpets - The Dream Of Billy Kite on MP3 Hugger earlier this month), started to twig that if the best things in life are free then 'Nightmares & Lullabies' with it's late 80s alternative rock affectations recalling Smashing Pumpkins in their pomp is no exception. The band even manage to make a track that reminds this critic of 'Message in a Bottle' by The Police ('Angels' Vanity') sound like a must have addition to any music lovers collection.
