Band of Horses - new album ++ new ZUNEs too

Zune tattooI get all kinds of press releases sent to me. Most of them go unused. That would be true about the one I just got about the new “ZUNE Ignition Artist of the Month”, but the timing was just too perfect…..

BAND OF HORSES is the Zune Ignition Artist of the Month

In conjunction with the new album “Cease to Begin” which is due to be released TOMORROW October 9, Band of Horses is currently participating in the ZUNE ‘Ignition’ artist program. The Ignition program provides a unique multi-platform online promotional push for artists through Zune, MSN, and Xbox.

Zune Marketplace is currently offering the free track “Is There a Ghost,” and another free track “No One’s Gonna Love You” will be available during the last 2 weeks of October. Xbox Live is offering a free video download of the band’s live performance of “No One’s Gonna Love You” along with interview footage. MSN is currently streaming video from that same live performance/interview and holding an online listening party for the band’s new album.

Previous Zune ‘Ignition’ artists include Maximo Park, Ryan Adams, Editors, and Talib Kweli.

Band of Horses‘ new album is also streaming at AOL. More on Band of Horses‘ corporate ties, here. The new Zunes are out November 13th.
