Get First Dears Album For Free... Kinda

The Dears have made their 2000 debut album, End Of A Hollywood Bedtime Story, available for free download on their website to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its being recorded. There's just one catch: You have to buy a T-shirt to get it.
Singer/guitarist Murray Lightburn, bassist Roberto Arquilla, keyboardist Natalia Yanchak and drummer John Todd recorded the disc in the fall of 1999 in Montreal's Westmount neighbourhood.
"We made an album and had no idea what we were going to do with it," Yanchak says. "No label wanted to release it because, at the time, it was too out there. NOW Magazine described it simply: 'Expect riots.'"
The Dears recently shot a double video for Missiles' "Saviour" and "Disclaimer," which you can see in our media section.
