Sugarcane Firewater – “Be Somebody”

Country: USA

Genre: Garage Rock

From The Artist: “Be Somebody is the latest release from Sugarcane Firewater. It fuses the punk rock energy of Dead Posey with a never-say-die message of overcoming bad luck and disappointment. This song is dedicated today for my Mom’s birthday – she bought my first guitar, took me to lessons, let the band practice in the spare bedroom, designed my first band’s logo and so much more. She’s been gone 30 years now, but she believed people should go for their dreams!”


Season of the Senses – “Villain”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

From The Artist: ” Imagine Elle King meets Rammstein – now listen to Villain and hear it. Villain is a song for evefyone who has had to accept hardships and come out stronger – and in the process made peace, and even friends with their dark side – and has had to let the bridges they burn light their way.”


Missing Fingers – “Cold”

Country: USA

Genre: Punk

From The Artist: “Original punk song. The context of the song is about the fear and frustration of being homeless on the streets stuck in the cold with no way out and that no one wants to help you.”


Skinny Dippers – “Through Tryin'”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Rock

From The Artist: “Through Tryin’ is the first single from Skinny Dippers’ upcoming 10 track album The Town & The City. The album was recorded and produced with Spotify Fresh Finds artist TOLEDO and mixed by fellow Indie mainstay Melina Duterte (Jay Som / Bachelor) The track blends hectic electric guitars with contagious melodies while describing a yearning for something more than drunken New York nights and half baked relationship gone wrong.”


No Star – “Slip”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Rock

From The Artist: “Slip was recorded at No Star and Slow Pulp’s studio in Chicago in summer of 2021 and is an upbeat indie rock track” 


The Serotones – “Steal The Show”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

From The Artist: “Rock n Roll , indie , surf , vaudeville , not for music snobs”


Mark Winters – “Boundary Line”

Country: USA

Genre: Americana

From The Artist: “We all have struggled with boundary’s being imposed on us throughout our lives based on external (and internal) reasons. You’re not all enough, or smart enough, or you don’t think like someone else. It really makes it difficult to become the person you would naturally be. Boundary Layer is also a fluid dynamics term about particles approaching a surface and slowing down in the “boundary layer” before finding a new direction to travel. My hope is the song reminds me and others who listen to become aware of any artificial boundaries in our lives and find a way to push through into smoother air and a new direction.”


Ben Sures – “Cry Like A Flood”

Country: Canada

Genre: Americana

From The Artist: “Sures’ catalogue is eclectic, spanning folk, country, jazz and rock’n’roll, and borrowing from blues, Sinti swing and West African guitar. His funny, honest, quirkily wise and wistful tunes are accompanied by old friends Richard Moody (viola, violin, mandolin and vocals) and Scott White (upright bass), along with Rebecca Campbell on backup vocals and percussion. Nearly every song on ‘North Americana’-tinged The Story That Lived Here has a strong yet tender sing-along chorus, including his moving single “Cry Like A Flood,” which is Kat Goldman’s true story of her music career interrupted following an accident that changed the course of her life.”


Ocie Elliott – “Coming Home”

Country: Canada

Genre: Folk

From The Artist: “Coming Home arose as a riff and chorus-line that Sierra was working along with,” reflects Jon Middleton. “At first, we felt that perhaps the main phrase of the chorus was too direct and to the point but as the song evolved, and the verse lyrics came, we realized that it fit perfectly with the overall nature of the tune. This song is about the deep, spiritual feeling of having another’s whole being fill one’s own.”


Tennyson King – “It Ain’t Easy”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Pop

From The Artist: “Life isn’t easy in the music industry or with any dream you want to achieve,” adds Tennyson. “It’s full of ups and downs, people who don’t believe in you, but we need to acknowledge this, step out of our comfort zone and keep at it.”


selfpity – “Always Feel The Cold”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist:  “This song is about the existential dread that comes with living on the frozen prairies of Canada. I was listening to a lot of Ride, Swervedriver and early UK shoegaze/britpop, while writing this EP.”


Brendan Hamilton – “When We Collide”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist: “The song is about someone who thought they would never be loved. And telling that person that you’ll accept them for who they are. You’ll be there through the good and bad times.”
