Alison’s Fall – “Insane”
Country: Netherlands
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “The main question that’s been asked repeatedly in the song is; “who’s insane?”. The answer to this question is not so easily answered. The song represents the inner dialogue of someone who thinks they are going insane, by fighting the demons and hardships of everyday life, while seeing the world as it is today. A world where humans are obsessed with always wanting more while ignoring the pain that it is causing to everything and everyone around them. “
Chasing August – “Lift Off”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Pulled from the 2020 demo archives, this is ourspacey anthem! Centred around the idea of the excited nervousness that comes with continuing to chase your dreams, this one is for the dreamers! A melodic and ethereal track that then roars as it hits the chorus.”
Luke De-Sciscio – “I’ll Die A Little”
Country: UK
Genre: Folk
From the Artist: “‘I’ll Die A Little’ is beautifully melancholic, a return to the simple honesty that has defined his career. Only now Luke is audibly emboldened by his several year long excursion into adverse production. Harbouring all of the agonizing delicacy that preceeded The Banquet with just enough of the sonic defiance that defined it. ‘I’ll Die A Little’ is a tender and loving rumination on our continual potential for change.”
Present Company – “What You Wanted”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “A swirling synth-pop groove with indie guitars and a post-punk rhythm. ‘What You Wanted’ highlights the final stages of a failing relationship with a powerful yet melancholy voice.”
Micheal Fordays – “Here At The Gates”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “A song about losing something (a relationship) and feeling like all is lost, but realizing you’re where you always were, where you’re supposed to be, and who you’re supposed to be. Standing “At the Gates” of change, perhaps looking back, but also looking ahead to what comes next.”
Sade Fox – “Don’t You Got A Life Already”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “Oftentimes people go out of their way to put others down, and this song is commentary on the practicality of it all. Like, if you are so high and mighty, shouldn’t you be too busy to pay attention to me? Why are my flaws so prominent in your life if you have better things to do? Don’t you got a life already?”
Maddisun – “Running”
Country: Canada
Genre: Americana
From the Artist: “Classic country and soul influences shine in the feature track “Running,” about transitioning into the next phase of her career. Maddisun is taking a chance on herself to pursue her passion; not holding back despite any obstacles, while staying true to her rural British Columbia roots.”
Scotchka – “Kush”
Country: US
Genre: Pop Punk
From the Artist: “On maturing with, learning to love, and committing to, someone who may have a different future in mind.”
Forty Feet Tall – “On & On & On”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “The lyrics are surrealist and bizarre, but the song feels happy in a sort of chaotic way.” “Brett and Ian just started jamming on that intro part during a rehearsal a while ago and the song grew from there.” “To us, it feels like a good combination of pop sensibilities and weird experimentation.” “When we went into the studio with this one, we wanted it to feel a little rough around the edges, a little chaotic. The song has an upbeat and playful vibe, but it has an underlying manic energy to it as well that we wanted to highlight. The video feels like a reflection of this as well. It’s goofy and fun, but definitely has a chaotic side to it.” “We got to work with Haydn Cieri again for this video (“On/Off”, “Julian”) and he always brings out the best in us. He’s so good at making us feel relaxed and at ease and that just allows us to have fun with it.” “We were trying to have each scene and costume feel as different and unique as possible, but there are a lot of callbacks and easter eggs to our other videos. An FFT Multiverse, if you will.”
Lone Wild – Kingdom Come”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Lone Wild is back with their latest and greatest track “Kingdom Come”. “This song is for anyone who has ever struggled with not feeling good enough for their parents or who have felt betrayed by their friends…and all the childhood trauma that goes along with it.” Digging deep into his past and more recent troubles, Karimi mentions, “I started writing this song about 9 years ago when I came back to this one as I was writing for this next record…it felt so freeing to get this off my chest.” Karimi adds, “I really hope it can bring the same kind of relief and comfort I’ve experienced in writing it for anyone who’s ever felt betrayed by friends or that they’re not good enough.
sanfreshes – “BIG”
Country: Canada
Genre: Shoegaze
From the Artist: “Inspired by the groanings of pop-punk, the raw energy of early emo acts like Rites of Spring and Jawbreaker, and the lethargy of shoegaze, BIG should feel like a house show in your friend’s basement. BIG is the first release for sanfreshes and the first single off of the upcoming EP, BIG WORM, dropping early fall 2022.”
Fluorescents – “Funeral”
Country: US
Genre: Punk
From the Artist: “Funeral is probably one of the catchiest songs you’ll hear this year. It’s equal parts pop & punk, with an instrumental track that makes ya want to find the nearest mosh-pit & start dancing as silly as you can. Stick around until the end for the key-change finale!”
Legs Electric – “Black Moon”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Soaring out of the pandemic like an ethereal lightning bolt is Legs Electric’s latest creation, Black Moon. A song rising to new heights and written from a place of heavy heartedness endured through the past few turbulent years that the whole world has become accustomed to. Whilst staying true to their classic rock roots, this new single recorded by accomplished sound engineer Simon Hallett, has a dreamlike feel with a mix layer of ambient delayed guitars in a style reminiscent of The Cult’s classic sound. “We wanted to take this song into a different direction and make it stand out from anything we have previously released” says singer Ama Quinsee, describing the new era of Legs Electric. The new single will be released in tandem with a music video filmed by local lens extraordinaire, Dom Giorgi, which features dazzling effects and threads, sparkles and tassels also showcasing local designer, Lost in Hollywood. If there’s one thing for certain, Legs Electric deliver first-class catchy hooks and Black Moon is nothing short of that.”
Leatherette – “So Long”
Country: Italy
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “It is a song about struggling to the point you feel you hit rock bottom. Screaming about it might not be the answer to the problem, but we must confess it was quite fun and liberating. Loud, acid, alien guitars and a punchy, hypnotic rhythm section were surely helpful to the process”
Laughing In Slow Motion – “Ahead of the Game”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “Lyrically, the track is a reflection of the times. Written in the first leg of the 3rd lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic, the song is about perseverance, self care, and the hopes of a better future, where people don’t allow petty differences, bias media, and opinions divide them so much that they resort to hatred and/or violent acts. It’s about the understanding of feeling down, but the importance of finding something that makes you so happy that it drags you out of the dark, and into an existence that is peaceful, kind and worth living for.”
