The Alarmists’ new album The Overhead Left is now available for purchase via iTunes and other paying download sources.   Local MN retailers The Electric Fetus and Cheapo Discs also have copies available.

But the real treat comes in the form of a limited-time release.  In line with the grassroots spirit and outreach focus of the band members, the Alarmists have chosen to release digital copies of The Overhead Left for free via www.irockthecause.org.  Here’s the official message from the band:

Rock the Cause has partnered with The Alarmists to help create support. awareness and membership for new music and non-profit causes that shape our community. The long awaited new album The Overhead Left by The Alarmists is available to download for free through Rock the Cause.

The Alarmists would like to encourage you to make a donation of what ever you can afford to Rock the Cause or sign up to volunteer with one of the Rock the Cause charitable partners.

Over the past few years Rock the Cause has helped to support emerging musical artists with exposure, publicity, and new fans through concerts. Rock the Cause is a non-profit that works to develop a new generation of awareness, support and new volunteers for other non-profits, like Minnesota AIDS Project, Open Arms of Minnesota, Clare Housing, Free Arts Minnesota, and many more. You can learn about these great causes on the Rock the Cause web site!

Your donation will help Rock the Cause to continue its work of creating a new generation of music and volunteerism! The Greatest Generation is Now!

Cheers!

The Alarmists
