FREE Music and stacks of new albums available from Nokia Music Store this week

It is February already and this week we have TWO free tracks available again for you to download and explore new music – the first track is from Hog Higgidy Hog. Meet the Hogs, a Cape Town based punkish, ska-ish, rock-ish band, made up of George Bacon on vocals, Amos Keeto on guitar, Sean Snout on bass, Leelips on trumpet, Ross McDonald on Trombone and Sean Junior on drums. Theirs is a sound that is wholly South African and original. It is energy, aggression and fun and their shows are infamous around the country for a happy mix of those things. Method To The Madness is their fourth full release, so if you haven’t heard them yet, then it’s about time!
