Liars, Liars, pants on fire(s)

Liars have this week done the very honest deed of releasing an EP of demos of songs featured on their eponymous latest album.


Now, far be it from me to accuse them of jumping on the Radiohead bandwagon - in fairness, there's no option to pay silly amounts of money just for the sake of it - but I really don't think it'll be long before we see more of this sort of thing from 'big name' bands.

Not that that's a bad thing, of course. Millions of songs are downloaded for free every day - making it legal is surely the next logical step. As Radiohead have proved, fans will still buy the CD whether they can download the album for nothing or not, and it's about time record companies started realising that.
