Hot on the heels of their Tempe Music Festival performance, future-forward, electro-rock band Shiny Toy Guns have released a free download of "Major Tom" their cover of Peter Schilling's song of the same name which is a continuation of the Major Tom character as told about in the David Bowie songs "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes."
