I still can't understand why eMusic puts particular songs under the rubrics that it does. They say that the "genre" of this song is "Alternative/Punk" and the "styles" is/are "Alternative." I'll be honest--the problem may lie with me more than it does eMusic--maybe I don't really know what those genres or styles encompass nowadays. But, to me, the song sounds like metal (nothing extreme) rock of some kind.
As far as the quality of the sound and of the band are concerned, they are very similar to some of the ones that I heard on the radio in the mid and late 00's (2004-2009 or so). They are honestly that good, IMHO.
Song: Machu Picchu (New Small Town)
Artist: Ben Davis
Album: Charge It Up!
Label: Lovitt Records
Genre: Alternative/Punk
Styles: Alternative
Get it here.
I regret that I am so late in the day posting this. I "always" am awake when eMusic posts a new freebie, between 12 midnight and 1 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time. Inevitably, for the first few hours after they make a new post, however, you can't get the download to happen. A button shows "Download free track," and some kind of activity results when you click it, but the download doesn't occur. And I'm not going to post an item from eMusic unless I can hear it and know that it is a good one. So, that means that I have to post late in the giveaway period (I do have to  sometime, you know).
Here are a couple of customer support webpages at eMusic in case you want to complain:

Metal? That sounds like pure pop to me. I like metal.
