Dust of Men finds NoiseTrade love

Ed Hudgins |

On December 6, The Dust of Men played in front of hundreds at Valleybrook Church, celebrating the release of their debut album, "What the Morning Shows." Now, it would appear, they may have the chance to be heard by as many as a million more – as a three-song sampler of theirs is being featured in the "New & Notable" section on the NoiseTrade homepage.

NoiseTrade is a site that allows artists to give away some of their music in order to be heard by a broader audience. The site gets about 4.5 million visits per month and has featured artists such as Polica, Josh Garrels, Trampled by Turtles, Sufjan Stevens, The Civil Wars, and Lord Huron. All music on the site is available for free download, with an option to leave a "tip" for the artist.

The band's frontman, Grant Schultz, uploaded one song onto the site a short time ago in order to gain more exposure for the band. The next day, a NoiseTrade agent contacted him and asked about putting more songs on the site and adding a bio so that Dust of Men could be featured in this way and in an upcoming newsletter.
