It's that time again. Like clockwork, Aural Ambush has made a resurrection. If your not familiar with it, here's how it goes: We grab a song from an act stopping through town, pick a spot in the metroplex where we'll force people to listen to that band, and then we capture people's reactions to the track on film.

This week, we're covering Philadelphia's Free Energy, in anticipation of their show at The Loft on Friday night with Foxy Shazam. And we took their pop-rock song "Dream City" to Eisenberg's Skatepark in Plano. The song seemed to fit right in with the skatepark vibe, with skaters generally liking the song, even if it wasn't in their regular rotation.

If you're digging the song, well, you're in luck: The band's been kind enough to pass along the song as a free download to DC9 readers. Get it after the jump--where you can also find out how to win one of five free pairs of tickets The Loft has passed along for us give away to readers as well.

Bonus mp3:

Free Energy -- "Dream City"

~~Want a free pair of passes to see this show on Friday? Just be among the first five people to email Pete with the words "Free Free Energy" in the subject line, and you're in. Good luck!~~

Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners!
