Dad Bod – “Beautiful People”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Beautiful People was recorded live at Orchard Studios. It is the third single from our upcoming LP “Loop De Loop, Lords Of Glory, Miracle Ministries” set to release in July. This song expresses a longing to impress and be noticed, but also acknowledge the superficiality and challenges of striving for societal acceptance. The chorus questions the inner feelings of those deemed beautiful, juxtaposing their external image with a potential sense of inner turmoil or malice. The song’s emotional depth is conveyed through introspective verses and a melancholic tone, ultimately inviting listeners to contemplate the complexities of beauty and perception.”

COMA_54 – “Rapture”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Rapture” is not just a return for COMA_54 but also marks their debut collaboration with Berlin-based independent label ORIAN Musik, further solidifying their presence in the German music scene. The partnership between the band and the label signifies a new chapter for COMA_54 as they continue to evolve their sound and expand their reach. The track incorporates searing guitar riffs and an unflinching rhythm section, underpinned by deceptively catchy vocal melodies.

Deadset – “Heavy Eyes”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: New single ‘Heavy Eyes’ is a raw, vulnerable evaluation of a battle against mental health and addiction and how that bleeds into relationships leaving a devastating and fatal aftermath. The song, which was mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Daft Punk), fluctuates between a morbid sadness and palpitating anger, a conscious decision made by Deadset to emphasise the unpredictable, unsteady impact birthed by poor mental health. ‘Heavy Eyes’ is a staple for Deadset existing in their set from day one. It’s the song that spawned the sound and feel of the band

The Critics – “Throwing Stones”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: In the darkness of a bedroom with an acoustic guitar, the birth of Throwing Stones emerged. Dealing with the tough issue of mental wellness and feeling of unjustified abandonment, this song captures the embodiment of loneliness. The Critics use their impressive technicality to produce a raw, moody rock song.

Alley of the Dolls – “Teardrop”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: An anagram of predator, Teardrop spits and snarls as it strips down the mind of those men who feed off the vulnerability of women, leaving chaos and pain in their wake. Its two part middle eight is a haunting climb to a biting, heavy groove that crashes into the final chorus.

Spiders From Uranus – “Glad You Came”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Every artist on a life-long path of creativity finds themselves in a state of evolution, and while it can be enticing to continue to push some sonic or thematic envelope in an ever-moving state of innovation, sometimes the most artistic path can be one of simplicity. On Blow It Out!, the debut record from Seattle band Spiders from Uranus, songwriter Chris Pugh finds himself in a state of infectious ease. The album’s nine tracks offer bite-sized, potent bursts of punk-rock that rarely push past the two minute mark. Tales of bad parties, nightmares, and evasive, raccoon-eyed characters spill recklessly from the three-piece in a torrent of guitars, drums, and harmonies as the audience is pulled along on a ride that feels inexplicably fun.

You Fool! – “Nock, Draw, Loose”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: It’s a song about anxiety… the way fears and doubts can paralyze you, and multiply. But, also about how managing anxieties can often be within our control – with hard work, anyway. The title of the song references the actions that an archer takes when drawing and firing a bow and arrow – and the ending chorus references the narrator taking aim and firing at the anxieties that had plagued her for so long, to relinquish some sense of control over herself.

Kicking – “Cruel”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Cruel is a stand alone single from Mississippi grungegazers Kicking and is on an upcoming comp from Summer Darling Tapes(EU) that features acts like:True Faith & Old moon

Grizzly Coast – “Sweet”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Sweet” is a song for the sentimental. Born from a dream out of the blue about someone Alannah knew as a teenager, it got her thinking about how you don’t have to be in touch with someone to remember them fondly. Sonically, “Sweet” is filled with ambient and shimmering textures that mirror the dreamlike state that inspired the song.

Graphotype – “Stab Me Like You Do”

Country: Poland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “a Rock song in a Grunge – 90’s Vibe, straight forward song, with a cool quality of mix and record.”
