Desk Job. – “Easy”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “This is the final track completing our new EP “Back to Work” – This song talks about a relationship that has grown stale – the people in it are comfortable with one another, but nothing comes without extra effort. Relationships are hard work, sure, but there are certain aspects of them that should always be easy and if you don’t have those things, the writing is already on the wall.”

Forgotten Tides – “Served My Time”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Served My Time by Forgotten Tides is a gritty, emotional track about feeling trapped in a life or relationship that’s run its course. With haunting melodies and raw lyrics, it reflects on trying to fix something that was already broken and counting the days until freedom. It’s a cathartic blend of atmospheric rock and heartfelt honesty.”

Statues – “Cures” (feat. Christian Kjellvander)
Country: Sweden
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Cures is the first single from Statues 4th upcoming new album “Dopamine”. A blinding effort in the vein of The Replacements or Lemonheads, this single shows off Statues more melodic side.”

Myers Hollow w/ Camille Cano – “Haunted”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “I was feeling deeply inspired by the pain of losing someone close to me so I wanted to make a track that reflected that. Camille wrote the lyrics and gave it the most appropriate performance I have ever heard.”

Friendship Commanders – “X”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “‘X’ is about the generation who raised me, for better or for worse. Every rock show I attended as an early musician, every job that ever took a chance on me as a weirdo young person, every single person I looked up to for a while, they were all Gen X. There were injuries as well—and disappointments, of course. But I wouldn’t be who I am without the lost generation and their massive, indisputably genius contributions to music, art, and culture. Are they going to hold all of it over your head and explain it to you like you’ll never be as cool as them? Of course. That’s who they are. But thank god for being allowed to be at the noise rock show with Xs on my hands back then. Changed the course of my life.”

Child Seat – “Green Light”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “I could barely walk for the first month after I had the severe reaction to Cipro,” says Mathews. “I wasn’t aware that the antibiotic came with a black box warning and I ended up getting overprescribed the drug, causing even further issues. ‘Green Light’ is about wanting to hit the gas when your body’s still at a red. It felt like l wanted to GO GO GO, but I kept getting met with life’s stop signs. That hunger for life and love when you’ve been forced to pause. Not only was it hard to walk due to my tendons on my feet being affected, but I struggled being able to be intimate in any capacity due to severe pelvic pain as a result from the Cipro. Beyond that, my mental health also suffered. I couldn’t be intimate with my partner, I suffered brain fog, I could barely see my friends or walk or even use the bathroom without pain. It took nearly a year to recover and still to this day I have symptoms from it.”

Erie Choir – “Summer Bummer”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “”Summer Bummer” is the first single off of Golden Reviser, the third album from Erie Choir, the North Carolina band which features two members of Sorry About Dresden. The song is a revved up, indie rock and power pop statement of purpose, warning against the lure of nostalgia and the way it can distort our memories. The song features Greg Humphreys, lead vocalist of Dillon Fence, whose song “Summer,” a track from their 1992 album Rosemary, is referenced in the second verse. Golden Reviser will be released in November on Potluck Foundation.”

Bonus Room – “Use 2”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Use 2” is about “a rough patch I was going through with a really old friend of mine,” Brice says. “It’s about me struggling with how people grow apart as they get older.” The songs tip-toes in on the heels of an ‘80s horror movie beat — courtesy of Lee — and then blooms like a night-time flower, intercut with anguished, echoey cries of: “You don’t know me like you used to.” “I was feeling equal parts bitter and nostalgic and I just leaned into the moody nature of the beat,” Brice says of the song, which demonstrates the sheer ingenuity of a band that, although somewhat nostalgic, is firmly facing forward.

dredge – “goblins”
Country: UK
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “This is our debut single — recorded DIY in a mate’s garage (aka our underground dungeon lair) between Redditch, Nottingham and Bristol. It’s a sludge/noise-punk hybrid that leans into chaotic energy, grimy riffs, and a tongue-in-cheek conceptual world (imagine three goblins in a trench coat starting a band). We take cues from Chat Pile, KEN Mode and Big Business but bring our own twisted UK slant. Lyrically, it’s both absurd and uncomfortably real. For fans of noise, sludge, and stoner punk with grime under the nails.”

Soraia – “Body In The Backyard”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “The song narrates the point-of-view where there’s apathy to the suffering happening in the world –or even happening down the street– until something’s happening in their own backyard. It’s definitely a dark humor tone. But truly a harsh commentary on that human characteristic we all have – but also a truthful one. It’s a bite at people who think we should care only about things that are close to home.”
