Crazy Arm – “Floating Bones”
Country: UK
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist: Crazy Arm’s new single, “Floating Bones,” was recorded during the sessions for their 2021 Dark Hands, Thunderbolts LP but underwent a lot of changes, both musically and lyrically. A maelstrom of punk, rock and hardcore sensibilities with harmony-drenched textures, “Floating Bones” is Crazy Arm at their very best: relentless, infectious and indignant. With the recent 10 year anniversary of Margaret Thatcher’s death, the song’s lyrics detail a renewed dedication to resisting the cruel neo-liberal policies that started on her watch; as well as decrying the disgraceful Illegal Migration Bill which the Tories have devised to further their pursuit of the ‘hostile environment.’ The bill would allow the government to criminalize, detain and deport asylum seekers which, according to the UN, is a “clear breach of The Refugee Convention.”

Laura Reznek – “Leap Year”
Country: Canada
Genre: Singer-Songwriter
Words From the Artist: Leap Year is a song for a time where everything and nothing happened, and the betrayal of boredom in the midst of life-changing loss. Recorded at Monarch Studios in Vancouver BC, this song was a true team effort – produced by myself and frequent collaborator Shane Stephenson, recorded by the brilliant Olivia Quan. Featuring some of Vancouvers brightest talents including Jonah Ocean, Viola Sabean, Hugh Penner, and Nick Babey, the music was initially written as part of a score for a soon-to-be-released short film, but the lyrics came shortly after a major life event and took on a life of its own.

Softie – “Don’t Look Down”
Country: US
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From the Artist: Nicholas pushes forward his warm lo-fi shoegaze into new ethereal territory with this new one. it’s a feel good vibe out hovering just barely over the precipice of anxiety; a reminder that no matter how good you feel/how high you get, dark shit always lingers slightly below. In a genre dominated by white guys with super polished tracks, Nicholas’ self recorded and engineered tracks brings a fresh punk ethos into the scene.

The Lightning Struck – “Rock ‘n Roll Ending”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: Debut full-length, bolt from the blue, is a straightforward rock release that treads a fine line between groove and noise – two genres that serve as essential to the band’s identity. While this could arguably be dubbed as a pandemic album, it’s more of a recovery album. There is a struggle to come to terms with our current world both as a society and on a personal level. bolt from the blue explores our anxieties and negotiation with the world as we find it now. Groovy focus track, “Rock n Roll Ending,” looks at the 21st century situation of “burnout” – read as: systemic exploitation – and rejects it entirely. “Don’t want a culture where we eat our young,” Loren protests. “Caught in a web of scams before we’ve begun.”

Live Skull – “Hit So Hard”
Country: US
Genre: Post-Punk
Words From the Artist: New single ‘Hit So Hard’ offers a delirious trip into the darkness, one you’ll find hard to resist. Possessed by melody and melancholy, dealing in the kind of pulverising pell-mell that characterised the 80s New York sound, the fusion of noise and unexpected tunefulness delivers a heady, psychedelic effect. Recorded at legendary Deepsea in Hoboken NJ by Mark C. and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (Iggy Pop, White Stripes). Of the track, Mark C says: “At the start, Live Skull seemed more obsessed with the politics of personal relationships than politics at large. Sometimes conflating the two. As the final track on the politically charged ‘Party Zero’, ‘Hit So Hard’ weighs in on the personal side with a promise to never go quietly into the night.
