Thea Sass-Ainsworth – “Love Me Lonely”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: The track is the predestined end of a romance. As we are subsumed by Sass-Ainsworth’s howling vocals and gnawing, distorted guitar, she reveals a love full of passion and in the end, loneliness. With raw rock foundations and a twinge of a low swinging country ballad, Sass-Ainsworth finds the bittersweet point of heartbreak and isolation. This pairs perfectly with the video filmed during a snowstorm in her home state of Minnesota. The video is a quilt of footage edited together by Sass-Ainsworth herself. Shot in a 90s home video style by DP Yazon Lo, the video captures the essence of Sass-Ainsworth’s true rock and roll energy as it cuts between basement performances and stunning, isolated imagery.

Vincent Draper and the Culls – “Window Song”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: It’s weird being able to look back at times you believed you were happy and realize you have some locked-up feelings and memories that need processed. Lyrically Window Song reflects on feeling invisible. The narrator addresses a part of their life that made them lean into being small, quiet, and unseen.

Joe Perfect and the Champagne Socialists – “Transvestigation”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: A vitriolic and violent stream of consciousness, of Q-Anon rhetoric, Transvestigation is Inspired by the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and the rise of flesh-inhabiting, baby-eating, gender-converting, ‘lizard people’ conspiracy theories that rose in the wake of her death. Trans fuses a unique blend of mid90’s Alt-Rock and modern Post-Punk that sets Joe Perfect and the Champagne Socialists aside from their contemporaries, highlighting the bold thematic territory they will touch on in their debut E.P release, ‘the Nixon Kamasutra’ come late June.

The Revelator – “Carousel”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: Carousel is a lush, relentlessly grooving rocker that elevates to heartrending catharsis with The Revelator’s warm harmonies and ardent, honest lyrics. Oozing with heartache, the song paints the hazy post-breakup trance as a “Groundhog Day” of anguish. In contrast to their preceding single, Dark Eyes, Carousel finds the band treading more vulnerable territory, leaving their wounded love on full display. Altogether, it’s a balancing act that’s as exhilarating as it is mesmerizing.

Bees in a Bottle – “Wet Widow”
Country: US
Genre: Indie rock
Words From the Artist: This track is about defiance and refusing to give in to the demands and expectations of an audience of onlookers intent on judging your grief and getting off on your personal tragedy. This is a woman who is maybe standing at the head of the receiving line at the funeral giving the finger to the cameras and refusing to allow her grief to be exploited, or her motives questioned. Whether she believes it fully or not, she’s made up her mind – she’s doubling down on her own resiliency.

Neither Could Dylan – “Without You”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: “I wrote ‘Without You’ not long after I moved back home after my divorce and was grappling with being now 30-years old living with mom and dad again,” Jaimee adds. “’Without You is ultimately about getting to a place where you do feel you’re deserving of love and that the right person will recognize this and be able to afford you what you need.”

ICHIWAWA – “That’s My Bad”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “The song is completely interpretable, inspired by a lot of 90’s midwest emo I was listening to at the time, wrote it on the couch, turned it from an acoustic drone to an abrasive, beat you over the head with loudness track.”

Rachel Mintz – “Zoe”
Country: US
Genre: Alt rock
Words From the Artist: With two iTunes top 100 tracks since her debut, Rachel Mintz is an artist who if you know, you know. She returns with her powerful exploration of a culture at odds with itself in her newest and most impressive songs and productions yet. Co-produced by Grammy winner Ian Cross (Gwen Stefani, Usher), her new album combines her undeniable edge with today’s top sonic palettes. Her lead single Zoe is a cinematic track that immediately draws the listener into its catchy momentum.

Bee Bee Sea – “Time and Time”
Country: Italy
Genre: Garage Rock
Words From the Artist: ‘Time and Time’ is an introspective song about the inescapable passing of time. Cynical and nostalgic, yet powerful, the track is loosely inspired by Richard Hell and the Voidoids’ song ‘Time’, from which the verse “only time can write a song that’s really real” is taken. Musically, ‘Time and Time’ represents something of a departure from the sound of their latest record, 2020’s ‘Day Ripper’, falling somewhere between Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Stooges and enhanced by the addition of the electric piano played by Marco Giudici, who also produced the track.
