Deer Pilot – “Charisma Kids”
Country: US
Genre: Rock
Words from the Artist: “This is the second single from Deer Pilot’s upcoming second EP, “Vanity Cure.” This track, “Charisma Kids,” is a song about the Hollywood night club scene that exists as it’s own ego-stroking bubble.”
Secrets of Fire – “Runes”
Country: UK
Genre: Indie Rock
Words from the Artist: “Secrets of Fire (SoF) this week launch their hotly anticipated new single Runes. Recorded and mixed across two locations in 2022, the track is the first release from the band’s upcoming album. The song laments how the duo came together through their passion for music, and under the guidance of mysterious rune stones, it spurred them on to become SoF. Runes delivers emotional, heart wrenching rock vocals that soar over a background of crashing indie-rock guitars.”
Push Puppets – “Obvious”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words from the Artist: “This blue-tinged alternative rock song takes the listener to many places as it tells a story about Karma blowing up my house and running me off the road. There is never a dull moment in this song – whether it’s the epic Weezer-style chorus and guitar solo or the big bridge reminiscent of Oasis.”
Tuk Smith & the Restless Hearts – “Everybody Loves You When You’re Dead”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words from the Artist: ““Everybody Loves You When You’re Dead” is a powerful, stirring rock-ballad. Tuk elaborates on the track’s inspiration: “I was channeling my favorite 70s glam gods on this track, for sure. I woke up one morning with phrase ‘everybody loves you when you’re dead’ running through my head, so I sat down and the piano and the song kind of wrote itself. I had been struggling with the death of a friend and I was flooded with existential thoughts. It’s not necessarily a song about death, per se, it’s a bit more layered with some social commentary thrown in there. Personally, I look at it as more a freedom song.”
The Bare Minimum – “Conspiracy 2 (Shawdowban)”
Country: Canada
Genre: Punk
Words from the Artist: “‘Conspiracy 2 (Shadowban)’ is the lead single, on all streaming platforms September 30th, from the Bare Minimum’s upcoming album ‘Is A Gateway Drug’. Written as a bleak sequel to their tongue-in-cheek song ‘Conspiracy’, with a furious delivery that doesn’t waste a second of its runtime. The single is accompanied with a Heelys extreme sports video (featuring jamesg), wrapped in layers of irony, loosely inspired by the skateboard videos 90s punk bands were featured in.”
Raised on TV – “Around the Sun”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words from the Artist: “This song was written in a way that was a departure from previous Raised on TV material. Normally when I’m writing a song, I (Keaton) sit down with an acoustic guitar and just crank something out. It’s what I’ve always known. It’s the “old school” way. For this album, and this song in particular, I wanted to try something different. So, I started in the studio and experimented with guitar and keyboard sounds, making a track, and layering on top of it to see where it would take us. I wrote the lyrics while driving in my car and blasting the tracks. It was definitely cool to mix up the approach, and I think it took us somewhere that’s a little different. “
HARKNESS – “Come And Get It”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words from the Artist: “‘Come And Get’ It is an upbeat, kick the door down inspiring anthem. The spirit of the song is uplifting, rebellious and encourages the listener to turn off the noise of the world around them and listen to themselves in order to lead the way forward. It’ has a rocking feel accompanied by colorful optimistic sounding vocal harmony. I wrote, recorded it and sung and played most of the instruments myself.”
Expert Frowner – “Rookie of the Year”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words from the Artist: “A fun punk-y / kind of indie sleaze sock that’s tongue in cheek about getting around to something later in life than you should have”
[ASS][ASS][INS] – “I’m Not Paying Rent”
Country: Canada
Genre: Punk
Words from the Artist: ” [ASS][ASS][INS] are a punk rock band consisting of brothers Gab Of Thunder, Adrien Idiot and drummer Dale Carmichael. With melodic leads, catchy riffs, and memorable choruses to make you move. The songs are fast, loud and bound to get stuck in your head. Gab Of Thunder leads the group on bass and vocals, Adrien Idiot shreds guitar and does backup vocals and Dale Carmichael plays the drums.”
j ember – “Baggage”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Pop
Words from the Artist: “Coming off a US tour with indie rock band Sports and the release of his critically acclaimed EP “Full Size Render”, Ember returns with the second release off his upcoming five song EP “Should’ve Drowned”. Indie pop heavy hitter “Baggage is about wanting what you can’t have and teaching yourself to be patient.”
Grant Boyer – “De-Evolution”
Country: Canada
Genre: Rock
Words from the Artist: “Agreeing to disagree doesn’t seem to cut it anymore. The online arguments go nowhere. Boyer searches for a solution to social media discourse and phone addiction in “De-Evolution,” his twangy new single. He’s not not trying to change the world, but if he can inspire a pause to think, maybe that’s okay.”
FM Down – “Close (But No Cigar)”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words from the Artist: “Songs lyrics point to the dehumanizing of humanity through our own vices.”
Elemantra – “No Shadow”
Country: US
Genre: Shoegaze
Words from the Artist: “The main riff to No Shadow was written entirely by accident. It was definitely, subconsciously or not, inspired by 2 bands specifically; The Chameleons and Swervedriver. Mindlessly noodling on the guitar with their specific brands of dreamy post punk and grunge-y shoegaze on the brain, led to falling on what would become the “No Shadow” main riff and melody. Most of the other parts for the song just naturally fell in line after that, with each band member adding their own flavors and inspirations. No Shadow turned out to be an up-tempo, reverb-drenched, raucous and bouncing shoegaze-pop song.”
Beat Radio – “Dissociation Blues”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words from the Artist: “”Dissociation Blues” is the third track that Beat Radio has shared ahead of the release of Real Love, the lo-fi emo/folk group’s sixth album — which is also a reunion between its primary founders! Real Love is the first album featuring both longtime singer-songwriter/guitarist Brian Sendrowitz and Beat Radio’s co-founder and multi-instrumentalist/producer Philip Jimenez (Wheatus), more than a decade after the latter’s departure in 2006. ”
Squadcar – “Dayglow”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
Words from the Artist: “Many of us have felt like we’ve been hiding in a hole for the past little while and some of us have even been in complete denial about where we are are and where we’re heading personally. Dayglow is a song about finally breaking free and heading toward the light. It’s a song about knowing that you need to work on yourself, and even though you may be physically alone, you’ll always have friends you can run to.”
