Goodnight House – “Mind Games”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Mind Games, the latest single from Portland, OR’s Goodnight House, builds musical tension through repetition in the drums and guitars, and lyrical tension through examining ideological division- the growing antagonism between community and authority. The song dynamically builds and builds without ever fully opening up in release, as if it were simmering water waiting to boil over any second, evoking the feeling that something must give even though nothing ever quite does.”

Anjoli Simone – “Inside Voice”

Country: US

Genre: Pop Rock 

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song is a teen angst-fueled anthem crowded with paradoxical frustration and longing. It simultaneously begs for room while fearing loneliness; introspective yet apathetic. The driving, heavy guitar and drums meet the melodic, airy vocals to encapsulate the intensity of confused desire and melancholic yearning. The song reaches a climax with a bridge that unleashes the repressed emotions hinted at throughout, before collapsing into detached indifference, ending with the line, “I don’t know what to tell you.””

Loryn Taggart – “Walls”

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer Songwriter

Words From the Artist/PR: “When I moved in with my boyfriend, I moved into a home that he had shared with his previous partner. I didn’t think much of it at first, but it was in the air. The love that they shared, the memories created, I started to drive myself absolutely nuts about the idea of the fact that there was previous love in this house. It was an odd sting of jealousy, and as someone who doesn’t really deal with jealousy it was a gross feeling. The ghosts of my boyfriend’s past lived in the walls. ‘If “Walls” could talk…’”

Unknown Voidz – “Take It As It Is”

Country: Canada

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Feelings of anger, pain, confusion and desire for self fulfillment seem to be the fuel for Unknown Voidz’ catalogue. Zan will often come to us with a lyrical skeleton and some chord progressions and the rest of us will create the optimal context. We try to write parts that we’re excited about. We hate being bored. “

Scary Hours – “Fever Dream Dossier”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Metal

Words From the Artist/PR: ““Fever Dream Dossier” refers to the weaponization of religious text, favoring fairytales over facts to justify oppression, hate speech, and genocide.”

Slow Collision – “Drive”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Slow Collision’s lead single “Drive” from their upcoming sophomore EP is a restless and intense indie rock song, where lead singer Nick Greenberg contemplates giving it all up and running away. The track tackles the desire for freedom and escape from the constraints and anxieties of everyday life. It highlights the struggle between maintaining control over one’s life and the desire for something new — “Is that what it means to be free / To leave it / Not want it / Give up control?””

Beauty School – “Cowboy Milk”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Yorkshire’s own alt-rock sextet Beauty School unveil powerful new Jimmy Eat World inspired single ‘Cowboy Milk’. The track is a euphoric yet bittersweet rock anthem detailing the extreme highs and lows of touring. “

Good Group Thanks for Coming – “La Da Da Yeah”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “La Da Da Yeah” is, essentially, a song about saying ‘fuck it.’ I wrote it at a time where there was a lot going wrong in my life that I felt powerless to change. I ultimately just had to smile through it and try to have fun even though I knew I was being a little willfully ignorant. The song sounds upbeat but it’s also a list of terribly hurtful things and the more hurtful things I list, the more upbeat the song gets. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. I wrote this song, not just as my own outlet, but so that we can all commiserate together. – Emily Morse of Good Group Thanks for Coming

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “We are from Southeastern Connecticut, this is one of our debut of 3 songs that we released on 6 Jul 2024, all were recorded at PowerStation New England in CT, USA June 2024.”

Bird’s View – “Pin Drop”

Country: Germany

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “our middle finger to all expectations and pressure from others to change something or to fit in somewhere. It’s not about recognition, it’s about having the best possible time with like-minded people and making cool music.”

The Avelons – “Since Monday”

Country: UK

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Have you ever encountered someone and suddenly found yourself soaring on cloud nine, floating home with an idiotic grin and a belly full of fire? Well, Since Monday is that feeling. It’s the euphoria of discovering that person, your person. An anthem inspired by an unforgettable encounter with a person who feels destined to be a huge part of your life, ‘Since Monday’ is the soundtrack to moments of pure euphoria and joy. Wrapped up in this buzzy, jangly indie pop tune, it perfectly captures the intoxicating bliss of nights you wish could last forever.”
