Love and Loud – “Strangers in the Bleachers”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: The song “Strangers in the bleachers” uses the metaphor of attending a sports game as a way of describing the journey of life. The lyrics describe how despite being strangers, everyone comes together to support the same team and share a common goal. This is compared to life, where people may have different reasons for being present, but ultimately share a need for a team to guide and lift them towards their dreams. The song emphasizes the idea that, in life, we may face challenges and make mistakes, but we should keep pushing forward and striving towards our goals. Despite the differences between people, there is a sense of unity that can be found in the shared experience of pursuing our dreams.

Artio – “Product Of My Own Design”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “This track is about the harm that bigoted and ignorant people do when they hide behind organised religion to harm marginalised communities and promote violence. It’s a love letter to my younger self and all kids who grew up like me, who struggled with their self-image for so long due to expectations placed upon them when they were growing up and didn’t have a sense of identity without guilt for most of their lives. It’s about being your own master, your own god, the ruler of your own choices.”

The Roadside Bandits Project – “Down Down”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: Santi Arribas says “the song talks about mental health and what it can do to those with issues, particularly young people – but it tries to say there’s always a glimmer of hope to be had, the proverbial ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ if you like. Many people either suffer from it themselves or have close friends that do and often it’s something people don’t even see as a problem. It’s a subject very important to me personally and I feel very passionate about it, so I thought we would try and talk about it through the music”.

The Haunt – “This Won’t Go Over Well”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “‘This Won’t Go Over Well’ was originally written as a diss track… a newly broken hearted, good old-fashioned diss track. The first lyric that I wrote for this song was “I know this won’t go over well”….cause I was about to roast the hell out of this Mf… but I’ve toned it down since then and now it’s just my broken heart translated into relatively normal, more civilized words.”

The Pairs – “Easier to Leave”
Country: Canada
Genre: Singer-Songwriter
Words From the Artist: New single, “Easier to Leave,” was inspired by all the challenges that are inevitably faced within long term relationships. Written in response to the many fears and anxieties that trickle into day-to-day interactions causing inevitable arguments that seem to have no rational foundation, it’s a song about those moments when all of our kind, compassionate communication skills fly out the window and we adopt a more self protective, argumentative stance.

Sergiy – “Stop”
Country: Ukraine
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: Legendary Ukrainian singer-songwriter and performer, Sergiy (aka Sergiy Matvyeychenko), is set to release his first new music in over seven years on March 30th, 2023 with his forthcoming single “Stop” (English version), a defiant response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Sergiy is originally from the occupied city of Gorlovka, near Donetsk, which has now been under Russian occupation since 2014. Sergiy has been greatly affected by the ongoing conflict since Russia began its annexation of Crimea and the Donbass region. While he emigrated to the United States in 2005, both of his parents lived in the region under the occupation and sadly did not get a chance to escape the area and sadly, both passed in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The war in Ukraine and the suffering that has ensued, both individually and collectively as a nation and culture, inspired Sergiy to get back into the studio with long-time collaborators Will Bradford (SeepeopleS, theWorst) and Will Holland (Pixies, Fall Out Boy).
