The Probies – “The Final Wave”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ” ‘The Final Wave’ is a sugar-coated cyanide pill. It’s what happens when you take the optimism of surf rock, drown it in irony, and let it dry on a lo-fi cassette. The result? A perfect summer bummer. And maybe The Probies’ most quietly brutal track yet.”

Snow Cuffs – “In Blue”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “In Blue” rides a desert horizon of shimmer and light — reverb-soaked guitars, pulsing rhythm, and vocals that glow with longing and escape.

For fans of DIIV, Slowdive, and Winter, Snowcuffs channel nostalgia into something new — equal parts mirage and momentum.

The Lunar Keys – “Pure As Your Protocol”

Hattricks – “Wrongway Round”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This was written at 3 in the morning upon the realization that perhaps someone like a potential superstar gymnast shouldn’t even be involved with, much less be in love with, someone like a lazy self destructive addict. Not much overlapping in lifestyles, no matter how much love is involved”

Kill Tuco – “Mars (Congratulations)”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: Going to space used to be a triumph for mankind. Now, it seems like a last-ditch effort to survive by any means necessary. Going to Mars might not be the achievement we all hoped it was, and we wrote a song about it.

The Planes – “Radio Summer”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  Radio Summer, is a love letter to small bands touring America during the rise of authoritarianism that would fit perfectly on an early 90s indie rock mixtape. It’s hopeful and defiant, and aims to reassure anyone who has chosen to walk the path of an artist in these times.

Cosmic Madness – “Thunderstorm”

Country: Spain

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “This is a grunge infused alternative rock song that talks about spending a night indoors with a special someone by your side while admiring the energy blast of a thunderstorm. It’s a mellow song with a strong energy and big distortion. The lyrics are more in the romantic side. To some people, thunderstorms are scary. The noise, the lights, they can be somewhat overwhelming. But if you find yourself with someone with whom to share the occurrence, it can be an invigorating experience to watch the apocalyptic show that nature can present from the safety of your home and in good company. Idk. I guess I just like thunderstorms. ”


Lisa SQ – “Teeth”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Pop

Words From the Artist/PR:  The single originated from a moody, Twin Peaks-inspired instrumental by Docherty, which Lisa SQ transformed into a disarming meditation on infatuation, jealousy, and self-realization. “The main motif was very evocative – dredging up all kinds of memories and feelings from early relationships I thought I had cleverly tucked away,” she explains. “It kind of broke me open in a weird way. I tried to lean into it and dredge up some young love.” With its lush blend of synths, guitars, and eerie harmonies, “Teeth” builds toward an explosive finale – complete with a spontaneous French verse that dissolves into a sombre cacophony. atmospheric chaos. “It’s not trying to tie things up in a pretty bow,” Lisa SQ says. “But instead letting things fall apart in atmospheric chaos.”

Ash Red – “Island’s Edge”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “`Island`s Edge` whose sound is much more angular mirroring the desperation or rage of the narrator who seems to be at their wits end. Around two thirds of the way through the pace slows but retains the narrative exasperation.”
