The first-ever gorilla vs. bear festival goes down at the Granada Theater here in Dallas in less than one month (July 23!), so we've put together this little mixtape as something of an introduction to all of the bands playing the fest for the uninitiated. Download as one continuous mix or as a .zip file with separate tracks -- and check the full tracklist -- below.

And if you still haven't purchased your tickets yet, we've got two pairs to give away. Just RSVP for the event on Facebook or leave a comment below to enter, and we'll pick the winners on July 20 (also: you can still enter to win a limited GvsB Fest poster here).
