A Beacon School – “KITM”

Country: US

Genre: Shoegaze

Words From the Artist:  “On “KITM”, (‘Keep It To Myself’ abbreviated), I’m very much talking to myself, voicing my frustrations with how long it takes me to do anything. I have all these plans and ideas and frustrations, but never act on them. It’s kind of a pep talk to say “hurry up and do something!””

Tiblinski – “Wonderwall #2”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: This is single #2 from the “Negativity” EP coming out in October. It’s a fun, bouncy story about a frustrated artist singing to the highest audience and questioning their requests. It’s stuffed full of references and interpolations to drive the point home and more than a little tongue in cheek pointed at the people who inspired me.

Ram Vela & the Easy Targets – “Reunited (And It Feels Like Shit)”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: ““Reunited (And it Feels Like Shit)” can be about two things: a relationship that has run it’s course OR a cynical look at legacy bands getting back together to play one last tour. You decide how this catchy power-pop bad boy speaks to you:)”

Living in Gomorrah – “What I’ve Done”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: An Indie Rock 3-piece from North Carolina, United States. We (Living In Gomorrah aka LIG), have over 70 years of collective experience with each member’s music career beginning in our early teenage years. This song is one of 12 from our 2023 self-titled full length album.

Vicky Von Vicky – “Not The Man”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Originating in the late 1990s, the band took a hiatus in 2001. Now, after almost two decades, Vicky von Vicky has regrouped with a renewed focus on songwriting and collaboration. They delve into themes of love, loss, and life experiences, expressing themselves with candidness, vulnerability and a big serving of humour. Their latest single “Not The Man” tells a tale of introspection as the narrator questions one’s legacy in life and to those around them. Touching on self-doubt, loneliness, and aging, “Not The Man” reaffirms the mantra to live now (while you still can).

Coworkers – “Legwork”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist: “This is our first single, recorded by our very own Matthew Seferian. We are a punk-infused collective blending art-rock, hardcore, and post-punk to make experimental dance punk to thrash against the workday. No screens, no masters. Sigils, sagebrush, and rock n roll.”

Sonny & the Sunsets – “Android”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From PR:  “New single “Androids,” capped off with a toe-tapping, fist-pumping “It’s all right” chorus, sees Sonny removing the self-reflective goggles for some guard-lowering good times.”

The Dandys – “Gums”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “‘Gums’ is about releasing the pressure. We all know growing up is overwhelming, so is booking dental checkups and managing your chronic iron deficiency. It’s about the mindset of wanting self-improvement but lacking the motivation or desire to do the mundane. Mostly though, ‘Gums’ is a track that gives you permission to take that pressure off and have a good time. It’s not really that deep.”

Human Missile Crisis – “Blackwater”

Country: Canada

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: A memorial song for a fallen friend. The band grew up in a small mining community and the term “Blackwater” is referring to the coal that would wash up on our beaches, turning the beaches and ocean black.

ATLAS – “You’re Not Alone”

Country: UK

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: You’re Not Alone was one of the first songs written for the album “Built To Last” It’s about coming out of lockdown and overcoming difficulties, depression, and the general unknown that most of us felt during that time. It’s got a radio friendly approach, but we didn’t hold back with the big anthemic chorus, the overall energy and message is about hope and strength.
