Today is your last chance to win a copy of ‘An Offering’ by Inner Surge. Having had their official launch party this weekend gone, I’ve got a copy of the CD to giveaway to one winner, posting to anywhere in the world.

With the competition closing at midnight GMT tonight (that’s approx 14.5 hours from now!) I’ll let you have the question here (where others have had to listen to the podcast).

I want you to tell me the name of the opening track on ‘An Offering’. You can see the full tracklisting here on PlaylistMix.com or visit InnerSurge.com.

Grab the name of the track, put it in an email along with your name and address and email it to podcast@playlistmix.com.

Couldn’t be easier!

Winner announced on the podcast tomorrow night.

This week on the Playlist Mix podcast I’ll be giving away a copy of ‘An Offering’, the latest release from Canada’s Inner Surge.

With the official release set for January 26th (launch party in Calgary, Alberta featuring Persepolis & Autobody), I’ve already picked up my copy of the album, listened to it over the weekend and really, really like it.

You can pick up ‘An Offering’ for just CA$10 from InnerSurge.com (including postage) and bag yourself 13 tracks of progressive and hardcore metal goodness or you can listen to this week’s Playlist Mix Podcast (show 18, available from Tuesday night) and try win yourself a copy.

Closing date for the giveaway will be Monday January 28th, answers on a postcard to podcast@playlistmix.com (email, obviously) and the question can only be found by listening to this weeks upcoming podcast!

Don’t forget that each week on Playlist Mix features a variety of tracks from six international acts, all wrapped into a bundle of joy 30 minutes long.

Well…. 30 minutes ish.

Keep an eye out for the download this week on iTunes and PlaylistMix.com

Inner Surge featured on Playlist Mix #11 towards the end of November with the track ‘No Profit In The Cure’. Have followed the band since the podcast first started (Inner Surge also one of the first acts to get in touch with the podcast), it’s nice to see the release of ‘An Offering’, available now from CDBaby.com and InnerSurge.com.

I bagged myself a copy of the CD today, or at least placed the order for the physical CD. My suggestion is order directly from InnerSurge.com – free shipping. If you’re not into the physical CD itself, you can still make a digital purchase of the album, but to get the 13 track CD, with free shipping, for only CA$10, you can’t go wrong!

Here’s the blurb from the band’s site…

“An Offering” is now available in the “Store” section. No shipping is charged from the official www.innersurge.com store. If you do not want a physical copy of the CD, tracks are available for digital purchase in the “Music” section. Information on the new CD is below.

CD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
To those who helped this album come to light; Our fans and everyone who has listened to or contacted us from across the globe, All of our families who have supported us, Shaun Friesen & Free Zen Design, Casey Lewis & Echo Base Studios, Chrys G, all radio shows, podcasts, magazines, websites and individuals who have supported and promoted this band – our heartfelt thanks goes out to you.

To those who resisted or ignored us, the radio who worship the mundane and call it “alternative”, the idol-style voting contests who promote shit music and waste everyone’s time, the bands who place more importance on makeup, choreography and personality cults than songwriting or meaning, the “scene over music” crowd who destroy the individual thinker and praise the mindless herd, and all those who strive to suck the lifeblood out of everything good, Enjoy.

So support independant acts! If you like the music you hear on the podcast, why not reach out and buy a band’s EP or CD. Nine times out of ten the quality is better and the price is cheaper!
