Good Time Locomotive – “Devils and Angels”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Devils and Angels is an emotional roller coaster ride about how we all need a guardian angel to help us navigate through this life sometimes, and how helpless you can feel trying to help someone who’s Devil is often louder than their Angel.

Jordan Phoenix – “Moon”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: I made this song and really only wrote it after recording. The song came so naturally. It has that feeling that sometimes it’s good to be alone with the quietness of the moon, to be yourself.

Raised on TV – “Just Wanted to Tell You”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: This is one of the first singles from our new album, “Make Time to Make Time”! (5th studio album) We wanted to get something out before the year was over. We’ve been touring all year, and we’ll keep touring to push this album, which will be dropping in May of 24. We tracked it at a house in Joshua Tree CA and had the best time recording. This song is a love letter to the lead singer’s (Keaton Rogers) wife. It’s about finding balance in your life, and being open about who and what you love and then going after it.

Caroline Romano – “Tell Her I Said Hi”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “‘Tell Her I Said Hi’ is me closing the final chapter on a particular heartbreak I’ve been writing about for a while,” she explains. “I wrote this song after finding out he had already moved on with someone else just days after we broke up. I was thinking about it nonstop, playing out different scenarios in my head about what I’d say to him if I ever saw him again, and ‘tell her I said hi’ is the line that came to mind. There’s a finality to that sentence that’s both heartbreaking and cathartic. The song itself is jealous, angry, pretty, and exhausting, all at once, much like the ending of our relationship.”

Yune – “Cake”

Country: Denmark

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Cake, the first single from off Yune’s sophomore album, Lemon Sweet Perfection, is about catching yourself running on autopilot and reacting at a hundred miles per hour, feeling a renewed thirst for life and wanting everything all at once. Musically, it’s dusty-sounding, 90’s alt.-inspired rock that sounds like highlife performed by a deceptively virtuoso rockband that has never heard highlife.

In Charge – “The Game”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Its catchy. It’s funky. And it rocks.”

Villain Villain – “Oh, Calypso”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: All it takes it one real bad day to become a villain in someone else’s story.

Butterfly Bulldozer – “BTF BDZ”

Country: France

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: BTF BDZ is the first single of the band’s first EP. A visual and auditory painting of the Butterfly Bulldozer and the crew’s ardent desire to leave the Earth in response to a mysterious call from space. The opening sequence instantly hooks fans of modern post-punk. Short and catchy, the listener is then surprised by a noisy bridge: a raw soundscape that reveals no qualms, like the mechanical internal humming of the ship. The inter-galactical quest continues through a second verse nourished by the tracks of King Gizzard and IDLES, before the crew lands on a sound wall, between guitar fuzz and noise. The song ends with a sneaky pop outro, the final declaration of love by these space desperados to their spaceship.

Split Keys – “Superpowers”

Country: Finland 

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: The song is about how, as a father of two little girls, I try to teach them to break through glass ceilings when they encounter them.” Superpowers is the first single from the upcoming debut album Freeway Confessions, which will be released in 2024.

Diamond States – “While You Were Sleeping”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Diamond States’ “While You Were Sleeping” (out now on Thick Syrup Records) is a tribute to singer-guitarist Bryan Frazier’s friend Rob Fisher, who passed away in 2016. The two activists were core members of a small team who worked tirelessly to gather new evidence and raise awareness and funds in a campaign that ultimately led to the release of the wrongly convicted Damien Echols & the West Memphis 3. “We’d get together with Damien’s wife Lorri, come up with a plan, and go out and gather new evidence,” Frazier recalls. “Eddie Vedder was involved then too. Eddie was going to the prison and talking to Damien trying to figure out how they could raise money. For a long time, Eddie financed the whole operation. Eventually, though, we started raising money and recruiting more people to help. The team grew from four to 20, we got more celebrities involved—Johnny Depp and Peter Jackson, Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks—and once we assembled this team, they raised millions of dollars, which went toward hiring Damien’s legal team. But Rob was the leader in the early days, and continued to be one of the strongest members—he knew the local politicians, he knew how to get people’s attention, and you could always count on him to be there. Rob was always the glue. He played a huge part in helping free the West Memphis 3.”
