Vonnie Kyle – “Is It?”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Is It,” encapsulates the ache of someone with a seemingly unseverable tie to an addict, and the slow but steady toll that tie begins to take over time. “I’ve dealt with it in multiple relationships, both familial and romantic,” she says, “and I’ve been on both sides of it.”

Sick As Thieves – “Cloud 9”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: This is the debut single from Sick As Thieves, a London-based alt rock band. It’s an uplifting rock anthem with an exciting, suspenseful build up that drops into the chorus that has a catchy hook that’s sure to get stuck in your head. The vocalist gives an incredible performance showing off his range with harmonies throughout the song, which reaches its climax with an epically feel-good guitar solo.

Todd Binder – “Alameda”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Alameda transports us into the headspace of sailor sent to fight in the South Pacific during WWII. His thoughts serve as a love-letter to a mystery woman who sent him off with a kiss just before he set sail, while also exposing an underlying deeply human desire for meaning and validation in the world around him. Devastating in its nostalgia and longing, Alameda is also Todd Binder’s self-declared love-letter to the California city he once lived.

Keste – “Better Decisions”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “The single off the EP, “Better Decisions,” depicts a poignant reflection on past mistakes that had hurt loved ones, while wavering between apologies and justifications of those events.”

Citizen – “If You’re Lonely”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Reflecting on the song’s emotional depth, Kerekes shares, “I grew up around a narcissistic parent and absorbed a lot of that behavior over time, negatively affecting people close to me. If You’re Lonely is about recognizing that, growing from it, and becoming a reliable shoulder to lean on.”

Outwith – “Take The Money”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: ‘Take the money is an upbeat anthem against shitty landlords inspired by the classic sounds of the misfits, descendants, and bad religion’

DeadEyePenny – “Famous In My Life?”

Country: UK

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: The song draws heavily on late 70s and 90s punk rock influences powered by a monster thrash metal rhythm section. The song laments the frustrations of life’s journey the ‘what ifs’ and ‘what might have beens’ but also celebrates the reality for most that in the end none of us really know what we will end up doing!

Bobby Emmett – “See No Evil”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From PR: Emmett’s latest single, “See No Evil,” layers hook on top of hook with his undeniable style that was previously heard on others’ releases. The energy you hear on this record is the sound of someone getting his turn in the spotlight. A place he has earned, all his own.

Friday Boys – “Depressed Gang”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: It’s a poppy punk song in the vein of early Clash or Green Day. It’s about the feeling that one is being sorted into categories and groups by powers beyond your control. It’s the first single from our upcoming album, Depressed Gang (out September 1st)

And The Broken – “Puttin’ Out Fires (HURT)”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Puttin’ Out Fires moves towards Bowie and Blur and someone thought that Tobias sang like the singer of Xiu Xiu. Johan and Linus plays the guitars like never before and maybe Robert Fripp would claim he had influenced them. Anyway, lots of energy, frustration and, as always appealing melodies and many voices.
