The Ekphrastics – “Make Your Own Snowboard”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Make Your Own Snowboard, the band’s sophomore effort, is a collection of short stories about doing one’s level best, whether that’s making your own snowboard (title track), auditioning for a metal band (“Keys (To My Heart)”), hacking a pinball machine (“Intrepid Concessionaire”), or trading in your Mountain Goats records for a small sailboat (“A Good Day for Sailing”). The tone is warm, the production bright, the delivery deadpan, inspired by The Clean, Karate, Lou Reed, Richard Lloyd, and forgotten 60s one-hit wonders, for reasons both sonic and economic.”

SugarFang – “Skinny LTD”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The opening banger to our EP Red Leather. Skinny LTD brings listeners into the feelings of after a bad breakup and being done with the person.”

MRS. HENRY – “Crash & Burn”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Full of riffs, rage, and rock n roll swagger, “Crash & Burn” is a tip of the hat to metal heavies Motörhead and Metallica, and the guitar rock hits of Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. Smashed and blasted in a fiery glory, this track blends together all these influences while retaining their unique vocal blend and telling the story of their rock opera hero – Mrs. Henry.”

Juniper Valley – “Surf”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Surf is an upbeat pop-rock track with surf rock vibes and Pixies esque solo-guitars.”

Maddisun – “Crawl”

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”CRAWL” is a powerful, uplifting alternative rock anthem about perseverance and nurturing good things. With sounds reminiscent of early 2000s alternative and classic rock, it’s for those who refuse to let anything stand in their way.”

Junk Mail – “Professional Slackers”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “‘Professional Slackers’ is our first professionally recorded single at Brixton Hill Studios in August 2023. We recorded everything live as we wanted to capture the excitement and visceral energy of our live gigs. The song is about a louche, unmotivated loser who struggles to keep up with a girl who’s smarter and more interesting than he is. “

Multi Ultra – “Slow Down”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Multi Ultra’s new uplifting introspective anthem “Slow Down” came from the realization that the older you get, the faster life seems to slip by. The band’s guitarist, Nolan Brown, ruminates: “One day I was caught up in mundane errands, feeling bored and ungrateful. I went for an evening walk and found this explosive sunset that painted the whole sky. Each beautiful phase mesmerized me – but felt a pang of sorrow knowing it would end, never to be replicated. While we can’t “slow” down time, the closest we can get is being truly present. What a shake-up it was for my jaded attitude; walking home not sad because it ended, but grateful I was there to see it.”

Charts and Graphs – “Said It, Mean It”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “New single from post-punk 3 piece Charts and Graphs. The song is an energetic warp and lyrically it’s about owning your mistakes. The 1st single from our upcoming 4th Album.”

Wolfschmidt – “Crisis”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The song is about failing to stay true to oneself in a society where truth and authenticity are overshadowed by fear and greed — a human crisis, if you will. It explores how we all, due to our desperate need for belonging, gradually fall in line with disavowed values, only to one day wake up and realize how much of ourselves we have sacrificed.”

Blous3 – “Goo Goo”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Goo Goo is a direct call out to Johnson & Johnson, the FDA, and the USDA (as yelled in the lyrics). The baby formula scandal had a significant impact on public health and safety, resulting in harm to infants in multiple countries, as well as implications of child abuse and environmental racism, among other disparities.”
