Peter Gabriel

Music from Kings Of Leon, Pink and Nickelback available now

A new music service that allows fans to listen to songs and albums in their entirety for free has been launched today.

Peter Gabriel co-founded the venture called We7 - a free advertising-funded music streaming service which will have music from four major labels and hundreds of indies available to listen to.

While fans get to listen to tracks in full for free before they buy, rights owners and artists will get paid by We7 from audio and digital advertising revenue.

Website goers can create their own playlists, share favourites with friends and also buy music at the download store.

There are millions of tracks available now from acts including Kings Of Leon, Pink, Nickelback and Estelle.

For more information go to We7.com.

I'd pay money NOT to have to listen to acts including Kings Of Leon, Pink, Nickelback and Estelle. What a bunch of old shite.

Erm... this site was launched ages ago. If you want a better site then try trueanthem. You can download albums from certain artists legally for free =]
