Thunder Boys – “Sorry Jays & Shooting Stars”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “The song is about letting go of the weight of self blame, pain, and guilt. We’re all the same, we all deal with the same stuff. We’re safe if we can let go and believe in each other.” Vogel says. His words carry the listener from a state of loss to a psychedelic reverence for the universe, a journey punctuated by a searing guitar interlude from guitarist Brandon Chester and the mighty force of Justin Flower’s drumming. The song conveys the sense that we are all a part of something of staggering significance; it is all around us, and it is within reach.

Bear, Man Dangerous – “Sarajevo, Nebraska”
Country: US
Genre: Grunge
Words From the Artist/PR: “As Americans move further and further apart–seeing the worst in each other and allowing politicians and oligarchs to define our world as they see fit–violence is creeping in. We are being to look for it to crave it–to eradicate neighbors turned other. How long will it be before an American city or state is uttered in the same breath as Bosnia, Rwanda or Syria?”

Basement Revolver – “Pull Yourself Together”
Country: Canada
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From the Artist/PR: Written about songwriter Chrisy Hurn’s experience having really bad panic attacks at parties. Maybe it’s not the kindest way to talk to yourself, but it was Chrisy’s way of giving themself some tough love and saying, “Get it together!” “It makes me sad for baby Chrisy who was afraid that everyone was judging them or thinking negative thoughts towards them or their body,” says Chrisy Hurn. “It has taken a lot of work to get to a place where I don’t panic in party-like settings anymore.”

Rum Jungle – “Did The Morning Let You Down”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: ‘You’d be lying to yourself if there hasn’t been a morning in your life that you’ve not been stoked with the events of the night before or something’s weighing you down and that morning it hits you hard. Mistakes get made, shit goes wrong, everything’s tough for everyone in their own relative state. What this one is about though is pickin’ up and rollin’ on and understanding the world is the way it is, and finding that thing or person or reason to charge on with some sonic stability.’

Griefcat – “Carbon Footprint”
Country: US
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “Punk is a big departure for us, but an antiestablishment album calls for an antiestablishment song,” says the duo. “We had so much fun writing and recording it. The beautiful irony is that the term carbon footprint was coined by oil companies. One of our favorite lines is ‘well I hope you do your taxes’ – we are raging against the machine, but we have to operate inside the machine in order to survive (and to avoid going to jail for tax evasion). And before you ask us, no, we have not calculated our own carbon footprint yet!”
