Down The Lees – “Dead and Over”
Country: Canada
Genre: Post-Punk
Words From the Artist: As the first release for Down the Lees in over 3 years, “Dead and Over,” captures the raw emotions of sadness, frustration, and anxiety that permeated throughout the years since the pandemic began. With candid lyrics such as, “No one gives a fuck about aging women” and “sweat like the rest of you, now I’m dead and over”, the song is a poignant reflection of the challenges faced by older female musicians.

Tess Becket – “Toxic”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: A bare indie rock track coated with a glossy alt-pop polish, “Toxic” is inspired by other queer artists with strong lyrics, like King Princess and Julien Baker. Introducing Tess Becket as a sharp writer, feminine authority in the studio and confident lesbian producer, this song is a simmering reflection on why she goes back to a problematic relationship, despite her better judgment.

TwoMinutesHate – “Operator, Take Me Home”
Country: Norway
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: An homage to the friendships that come with a spare key, Operator, Take Me Home combines furiously fast skatepunk riffs with a sing-along chorus for pure pop punk perfection. Oslo’s female-led up-and-comer TwoMinutesHate takes us on a guided tour through lead singer Sama’s second home, Penthaus, welcoming us to the party and introducing us to her friends. Shouty gang vocals and melodic harmonies. Speedy drums and an earworm of a guitar lick. The perfect party song!

Words From the Artist: “The main theme of the album is the long road to redemption so that you can finally be happy later in your life,” says Joly. “That being said, a lot depends on the choices you make along the way and the risks that you take and where you end up at a certain time in your life…You gotta move on even though it seems impossible, you gotta stand up and run away from the negative and bad stuff that surrounds you.”

The Lunar Keys – “Life Is A Dirty War”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “The song’s lyrics are metaphorical. They are about being in a bad relationship, whilst facing life’s daily struggles but not surrendering and likening that experience to being in a war. So It’s like Life Is A Dirty War.”

THE 12th MAN – “End of the World”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: Aptly-titled single “End of the World” is about being betrayed by the last person you would expect betrayal to come from. It’s an open account of how being wronged can feel, carrying the heaviness of the situation.

Grady Strange – “Flowers Surround You”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: “I recorded this song at home to my 4 track tape machine (which was previously owned by Hilly Kristal founder and owner of CBGB, I acquired it from his daughter at a garage sale for $20, just a fun fact) and finished the song at my friend Daniel McNeill’s house with Mark Morones on drums and Mackenzie Howe on backup vocals. The idea for this song came to me after getting a repeated vision during meditations. I kept seeing the guy who wrote Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda, leading me through my elementary school and opening the door to the library. Behind the door there was a drop off and then rolling hills of flowers as far as I could see (which is depicted on the album art). I got the feeling that he was showing me what human existence could look like if we someday reached a higher level of consciousness. I wrote the song about living through daily struggles and emotions while knowing there’s something deeper going on that we can quite reach yet.”

Rival Waves – “Meaningless Chaos”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Meaningless Chaos” was written shortly after the loss of a loved one. As something we all go through, the song deals with the chaos surrounding the lives of those directly dealing with the fallout of losing a battle they weren’t meant to win, the memories that remain, and all the things we will never understand. Despite all this, love makes the war worth fighting.

Wodan Boys – “Thunder Glove”
Country: Netherlands
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: Stuck in a conversation with someone who can’t accept he’s over his prime in life. Wodan Boys at least made it a danceable rock-banger so you’ll enjoy listening to the main man himself: Rebel Billy Thunder Glove. We all know him, are him or deny that he has ever existed.
