10 Best Free Bandcamp Downloads #14: Dumb Waiter, 7-11 Jesus, Maura Weaver, Graveface Records Sampler

Welcome to the 14th and latest installment of The Bad Penny‘s Bandcamp Freebie series, in which we handpick our favorite free songs on the platform and dish them up for your consumption. This is one of our most diverse arrays yet, so let’s dig in.

(Note: If you’re financially capable of supporting any of these artists and/or labels, please consider doing so.)

1. Dumb Waiter – “Dumb”

Experimental noise-rockers Dumb Waiter are gearing up for the release of their new album, Change, on July 31 through Ossein Records. The band from Richmond, Virginia, has a lot of experience under its belt, but this time Dumb Waiter are deviating from their no-vocals policy for the first time. Hear what the previously instrumental-only gang sounds like with their new approach courtesy of this free tune. Commenting on the band’s decision to incorporate vocals, saxophonist/vocalist Tristan Brennis said, “What more is there to say without saying anything? We realized that we had a whole lot to say about the current state of the world and this hyper-acceleration of society that I think we’re all feeling day in day out.” Dumb Waiter sound like a good candidate for The Bad Penny‘s On Tyranny series …

2. Maura Weaver – Strange Devotion

Alt-country newcomer Maura Weaver, formerly of pop punk band Mixtapes, generously gifted us with her second solo album gratis in September. The indie-pop record was written and recorded two years ago “in a Northern Kentucky studio that may or may not be haunted,” according to her Bandcamp page. “Still present are the hooks, melodies, and thoughtful lyrics that have become Weaver’s staple,” the statement further said.

3. 7-11 Jesus – White Noise

Like Maura Weaver, Boston noise-rock band 7-11 Jesus are in a charitable mood these days, making the new full-length they just put out last month available for free on Bandcamp. Released through TRA$H $UN RECORD$, this is the trio’s third record and first in five years after a long break.

4. The Shenanigans – “(Come On) Eileen Aroon”

If you haven’t gotten your dose of a capella Irish folk music lately, look no further than this quirky number by the Atlanta-based Shenanigans. They issued “(Come On) Eileen Aroon” more than 10 years ago, but Celtic music is timeless, right?

5. Graveface Records & Curiosities – Graveface Test Pressing / 2025 Sampler

Issued in late November, this label sampler includes cuts by Chalk Talk, Night School, the Marshmallow Ghosts and Tennis System. Graveface describes it as “a random test pressing from our vault of hoarding 25 years of tests.”

6. Wolf & Bear – “Sight”

This band from Sacramento, California, refers to itself as both a “Central Valley-based post hardcore outfit” and “progressive post whatever.” Take your pick; we dig ’em, and they’re currently on tour with the reunited HORSE the band.

7. Tunnel Vision – Purrgatory

Here’s another free full-length for your listening pleasure, this one by animal-obsessed hardcore punk Tunnel Vision. The 11-track affair is still fresh at less than a year old. Enjoy.

8. A Lily – Augury EP

The only short-player in this installment of Bandcamp Freebies is from musician and writer James Vella, who lives in Brighton, UK. It came out in 2014 and features covers of songs by Smog, Love, WHY?, Julia Holter and Fleetwood Mac.

9. Wormhole – “Existence Gap”

What would an edition of Bandcamp Freebies be without at least one taste of brutal death metal? Perish the thought – and enjoy this 2015 number by Baltimore band Wormhole.

10. Desert Collider – Sonic Carver – 2024 EP

This stoner-rock quartet from Italy just dropped their debut LP, but if you want to dip your toes into their waters before you pick it up, snag this EP to get a sense of what they’re all about.
