Buddy Wynkoop – “Zugzwang”

Words From the Artist/PR: Bearing themes of existentialist desire on its sleeve, Zugzwang is a post-punk introspective look at the Sisyphean experience of every day life. The debut single off Buddy Wynkoop’s upcoming album, Better Than Botox, Zugzwang culminates in a rallying call of understanding that the play of life goes on and we might as well contribute a verse.

Wax Owls – “Overpriced Buffets”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: Vocalist Gerry Hirschfeld says on the track, “For both Chris and I, it was the risk of pursuing our passion in music because we were dissatisfied with being lawyers and we would both rather fail doing the thing we love than being ok somewhere we hated. Once we had come to that realization, what could have been a frightening moment, became exciting. We wanted that cathartic excitement to be reflected both in the melody but also the music of the song.”

Typhoid Rosie – “Something To Fight For”
Country: US
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: A rocket-fueled anthem about their dog who suffered a spinal stroke while on the tour which paralyzed him so badly that he didn’t want to live anymore.

Get in the car, let’s go!” This song is about the fight for his life.

CTRL+V – “Apple Blue”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “I imagine us as a rock band, trapped inside of a nightclub,” says frontman Harry Parsons of the Newfoundland rave punk band Ctrl+V (pronounced Paste). After more than a decade of being a drummer in touring bands, he began to experiment with making electronic music. Along with co-writer/producer Sweetboy Music, the songwriting soon began to flow, and the pair began shaping their sound, influenced by darkwave, hard rock, and a dash of punk. Their debut EP, Prequels, is dark, yet optimistic. Mysterious yet fun. The bittersweet opening track, “Apple Blue,” sets the mood with a feeling of isolation and loneliness. “The title puts me in a neo-noir film headspace. It’s like a David Lynch version of a heavy song,” says Parsons.
