This week in free Nine Inch Nails shit: Trent is offering a free EP of tracks from bands on his upcoming "Lights In The Sky" summer tour: A Place To Bury Strangers, Crystal Castles, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and Deerhunter, as well as the Ninnies themselves. It may not be as awesome as another free album (see, Trent, you give us everything and we only want more, more, more! It's just like one of your lyrics), but it's totally free and might inspire fans of the headliner to show up early and recognize at least one song by each of the openers. Not that Trent's live act won't blow them all off the stage. [NIN/YouTube]

Opening for this summer's Nine Inch Nails tour, which kicks off at the Pemberton Festival before fanning out across the country: Crystal Castles, Deerhunter, A Place To Bury Strangers, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and White Williams. Average Pitchfork score of the five openers' albums: 7.14—but it goes up to 8.3 if you toss out Tom Ewing's pan of the Does It Offend You, Yeah? album. Tour dates and openers after the jump. More »
