Kai Voltage – “Broken”
Country: Canada
Genre: Garage Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: The lyrics riff on the many states of being broken that exist. When something inside or outside ourselves is broken, will the pieces fit back together? Through observational and introverted viewpoints, the lyrics express how states of broken-ness and states of repair can co-exist – filtered by our subjective experiences. The rhythm guitar and basslines take inspiration from early blues and rock and roll chords and strumming patterns. The song overall has a garage rock feel. During the choruses, the guitars use a power-pop style jangle – creating an open vibe that ultimately leads into the group vocal yell and melodic guitar solo that sees the track through.

CARNE – “Polly’s Desires”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: Polly’s Desires explores our darkest sonic palette yet, blending ambient, ethereal soundscapes with broody guitars and thumping and raw drums. The track weaves together 90s trip-hop and industrial grit with the spirit of late 90s early 2000s grunge. Imagine the haunting allure of Curve or Kidneythieves meeting PJ Harvey and Queenadreena, all spiked with the frantic energy of Fontaines D.C.’s Starbuster. Polly’s Desires is a love letter to the visceral influence of PJ Harvey. Inspired by a rediscovery of Is This Desire?, the track explores the gravitational pull of Harvey’s persona while celebrating the feminine archetypes that shape my world. The song examines how we find our own womanhood through the mirror of our idols. To me, ‘Polly’ isn’t just one person—she is the collective spirit of the musicians, family, and friends who surround me: imperfect, vulnerable and inspiring.

Black And White Rewrite – “Tokyo Ghost”
Country: Canada
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: This song is based on a true song about an experience our bassist had when he arrived in Tokyo at 1am and everything was closed and the airport seemed creepily abandoned until morning.

The Gristle – “Misfit”
Country: Sweden
Genre: Garage Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: Raw, riff-driven and unapologetic, Misfit distills the essence of The Gristle: groove, garage and punk filtered through a distinctly Swedish lens. Think the desert swagger of Queens of the Stone Age, the sharp-edged urgency of Jack White and the stripped-down punch of The Black Keys — but dirtier, looser, and defiantly their own.

Kauz Of Affliction – “I Just Wanna Hang With My Dog”
Country: US
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: Kauz of Affliction K-O-A are back with a brand new single, “I Just Wanna Hang With My Dog”, a raw and unapologetic burst of punk attitude that blends irony, frustration, and pure instinct. Short, fast, and straight to the point, the track is a middle finger to social expectations and a love letter to the simplest form of loyalty: your dog. Driven by relentless riffs, aggressive vocals, and an explosive rhythm section, “I Just Wanna Hang With My Dog” captures the band’s signature sound — visceral, honest, and emotionally charged, while embracing a more direct and sarcastic lyrical approach. It’s a song about burnout, disconnection, and the need to escape everything and everyone… except the ones who truly matter.

Credible Witness – “Fish Out Of Water”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Fish Out Of Water” by Credible Witness brings back direct 90s alt-rock driven by roaring guitars, pounding drums and layered vocal melodies. Balancing urgency and vulnerability, it captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by your own struggles while searching for relief. The chorus rises like a shout-along moment, turning it into something deeply relatable.

MAWK3 – “Shangri LA”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “The song at its core is about rebirth… getting a fresh start, finding a way to a new day in difficult times. “I believe in, new beginnings” is the main call of the chorus. There is a tip of the cap to Joni Mitchel (“paradise from parking lots” is a reversal of her famous refrain in her song “Big Yellow Taxi”) and Rush (I know, I know…) “dizzy heights and busy streets” is a reversal from a line in their song “The Analog Kid”. I think of Shangri LA as an optimistic anthem of hope, and I believe we play it and sing it like a declaration of beautiful possibility.”

Stephen Becker – “Bad Idea”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “‘Bad Idea’ is about a breakup I went through after seeing the ballet—the haunting feeling of the dancers’ movements lingering in my mind, the sad-sweet taste of spiked lemonade on the train ride home. I was thinking about, and trying to manifest, change with a newfound determination to break free from unhealthy routines and patterns in life and in love.”

MERCEDES & MARXX – “INSANE”
Country: Germany
Genre: Skate Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “Hypnotic, raw acid punk driven by fuzzed guitars and repetitive, psychotic grooves. Inspired by OSEES, KGLW and Ty Segall. Physical, acidic and straight to the point.”
