ÅHM – “Memorial Garden”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Alt Metal

Words From the Artist/PR: Memorial Garden” is one of the songs that best represents who ÅHM is. Built around contrast, it moves between fragile, atmospheric passages and heavier, more intense moments. Lyrically it reflects on loss, remembrance and the places we carry with us long after people are gone.

Little Oil – “What’s Become Of Me”
Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: It’s a song born out of resignation at the situation we find ourselves in. We see our past failures catching up with us and influencing the situations we are in today and there’s nothing we can really do about it. We are tired of “breathing fire” As in tired of being in the line of fire but we are also tired of having to put up a tough exterior and being the ones that are “breathing fire” on others. Having the big campfire chorus at least gives it a Greek tragedy feel in that we are in the same boat. Like “oh you were feeling that way too? I thought I was the only one.” And with that, we at least find some relief.


Jaewon – “Product Placement”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Self recorded and produced with a burning guitar solo in the outro. This song is facetious about the woes and monotony of day to day life as a piece of shit musician. It is written by me, about me, and for me.

Allegories – “They’lll Never Suspect Us”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: At its core, “They’ll Never Suspect Us” is an imagined scenario pushed to its most uncomfortable extreme: a gleeful, fictional descent into violence narrated with eerie confidence and emotional distance. “There’s a long tradition of murder ballads,” Adam Bentley explains. “But what about murder anthems? A song that gleefully imagines the act, while rubbing the victim’s face in the idea that no one will care about their demise.”

Burning Bouquet – “What You Signed Up For”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Blending the raw, heavy catharsis of 90s grunge with the infectious hooks of modern pop-punk and emo, the band delivers an emotionally charged sonic experience. Fronted by Rachael Dutton’s soaring vocals and backed by a wall of driving guitars and dynamic rhythms, Burning Bouquet is a must-watch act known for high-energy, unforgettable live performances.

TWNTY 05 – “Tightrope”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  Tightrope is the lead single from TWNTY O5’s debut album — post-punk from Lawrenceville, GA, for fans of Interpol, Bloc Party, and The Killers. Written during a period of profound personal loss and mental health treatment.

Drama Dolls – “Oh Hell No”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Appropriately, “Oh Hell No” ups the ante with pummeling drums and searing guitars, pushing its rhythm section into darker, heavier territory that underscores the urgency of its message. The bridge weaves in an interpolation of Shirley Chisholm’s 1983 speech, America Has Gone to Sleep, in which she declares: “but it is certainly not going to be a government of and by and for the people in reality unless we the citizens of this realm become angry enough to rise up enough in righteous indignation and say we have to move in another kind of direction” From there, the song builds toward a defiant finale, where anthemic chants give way to an unforgettable coda that I personally predict will become the anthem of many a protest to come: “Fuck your cowardice, fuck your prejudice, fuck your malice. WE WON’T BE SILENCED.

Primo Gringo – “Strut”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: A song about the party getting the best of me and being angry at the hangover.

Nothing’s Working – “Maladaptive”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Maladaptive” is about getting lost in daydreams after a breakup and imagining the person still loves you. It’s about using those fantasies to avoid the reality that they’ve moved on.

Stella and The Reptilians – “Take It From Here”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: This song is about feeling guilt and remorse for a failing friendship, but knowing you need to move on to better things.
