Sometimes, they send me free music but most of the time I try to buy their tunes off Bandcamp just to support them a wee bit. We are so thankful to the bands that allow us to use their music. Michigan has always had amazing musicians and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Please, support the bands that you hear and let them know that Michigan Murders & Music sent you! Intro music by Murder Party, sadly a band that no longer plays but I listen to their music frequently and I love it!!!!!!
