Spice up your videos, games, applications or just make system alerts a little more hilarious by downloading sound effects from Soundsnap. Whether you're an electronic musician using Ableton Live or a budding YouTube auteur looking to flesh out the audio on a Final Cut Pro project, libraries of free sound effects, loops and samples are like mana (I'm a longtime fan of The Freesound Project). All the sound effects at Soundsnap are uploaded by creators, so if you've already done some foley work or futzed around with a Moog to produce sci-fi ambience, help out others by contributing. There are already many thousands of audio clips already available. If you're a multimedia maker, what sound effects sources do you use?

The Locals are an alternative rock / indie trio from Chicago, IL. Delivering exceptional sound created by Lead-singer and Guitarist, Yvonne Doll, Bassist, Christy Nunes, and Kirk Snedeker on drums. With captivating retro guitar rhythms, drum melodies with a modern spin and combined with Yvonne's powerful and smokey voice, this compelling combination makes this band certainly unique. Reminiscing with a sound similar to the 90's rock with artists like The Divinyls, Garabage, or even No Doubt, The Locals poses their own quality that is definitely their own.\n\nListen to a special 4-track preview with a special guest appearance with Yvonne Doll. http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-02T07_00_57-07_00 \n\nRead my featured interview with Yvonne Doll http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/interview-with-locals-putting-little.html\n

After last years ground breaking success of the innovative electro-tech sounds of his last creation, Shadow Fax, Chemical Resort LP, Jason Rivers returned to the studio to work on this years new release with his breakout Rogue Sixx EP, called, Solid State. This one-man band has it all with electrifying sounds that will have you begging for more.

In the Cinema brings an artful sound never heard before. Not to mention, their unique music style is nearly impossible to compare with other artists. This sort of quality is what most artists strive to achieve. Many artists accomplish this task, but they do not produce the kind of quality music that people enjoy over and over. Where other artists have failed, the brother duo, Ryan and Joe Hughes have succeeded by doing what others only dream of. Ryan and Joe have taken the traditional art of folk music, combined it with modern rock and tied it with an electronica sensibility to create, In the Cinema. \n\nListen to music from their 2010 debut album, For the Struggle with a special appearance by the band, here at: http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-16T08_34_02-07_00\n\nRead an exclusive interview with Ryan and Joe at: http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/interview-with-in-cinema-cinematic.html \n

Tangent Transmission is not the typical Los Angeles rock band. In fact, they give a whole new definition to the meaning of rock. Perhaps it should be called tangent rock, because they do not intersect with any other sound except with their own, taking audiences to new heights by giving them an experience they have ever heard before. \n\nListen to an exclusive full length 4-track music preview from their soon-to-be-released debut EP right here: http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-09T08_12_27-07_00\n\nRead an exclusive one-on-one interview with lead singer, pianist, and guitarist Sam Sobo: \nhttp://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/tangent-transmission-redefining-rock.html \n

`Mammút is an Icelandic band and the featured artist of the week. While many listeners outside of Iceland may not understand a single lyric, make no mistake, they do speak the universal language of awesome rock music. They have a distinct Icelandic sound, but are similar to the Iceland band, The Sugarcubes and Bjork with an alternative rock kick.

This weeks artist spotlight is a alternative rock band. They were chosen for their well balanced tone that makes for an enjoyable journey of sound and melody. They aren t too hard and not too soft, just in the right place to keep you listening. The recently released CD entitled "When the Lights Go Down". Listen at http://greatunknownspresents.com

The disc opens to a folder containing 23 construction kits ranging from 80 to 180 bpm, with most hovering around 120. I'm immediately impressed by the scope of what's offered: everything from dream-pop, robot music, techno-goth and early Ministry-like electro industrial (minus screaming guitars) to erotic '80s house and even a cool downtempo new-wave rap beat

Hailing from the very heart of hip-hop culture (Ann Arbor, Michigan) Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye is back on the shelves at your local record store (if you are lucky enough to still have one) with his third full-length release Two/Three. The enigmatic and fractional title is the follow up to his 2001 debut One/Three and 2002 sophomore release Instrmntl. Mullinix, who is quite the busy beaver, also makes house, techno, and industrial music under other monikers. So it's not surprising that his brand of hip-hop is a little bit left of center. A Dabrye album is as likely to feature white noise, sawbuzz analog synths, and found sounds, as its title is to include numbers or consonants, it seems.

Listen to some great alt rock/pop folk music. If you enjoy Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, or Gavin DeGraw, you ll love this 4-track preview with special guest, Jamie Kent. \nListen at: http://thegreatunknowns.podOmatic.com \nRead this weeks featured interview with Jamie Kent http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.com
