The Crooked East – “Release Me”

Country: USA

Genre: Shoegaze / Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Release Me” is the first single off of our first EP, “Where it’s Warm.” “Where it’s Warm” tells the tale of a troubled young man who follows his aspiring-actress girlfriend West, only to find himself a rising singer/songwriter. But the higher he rises, the lower he sinks into a haze of depression and substance abuse, until a panic attack on stage forces him to seek help and change his life.”


The Hi-Tops – “Useless Lovin'”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Was written in Calgary, Alberta by Kole Halvorson, and Luke Lepine about our bassists relationship with a certain female.”


Touching – “All I Need”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “3rd and final single from Touching’s debut full length “littleworlds”. Video completes the triptych set in a boxing ring in the middle of a historic theatre, bringing back the characters from “Tony Called The Muscle” full circle, later in their lives.”


Scott Van Zen – “All Gassed Up”

Country: USA

Genre: Hard Rock

From the Artist: “Scott Van Zen is one of those high-powered, hard-working musicians who you’ve almost certainly heard, but maybe never heard of. All that’s about to change with the release of his debut EP, “Trouble,” and the latest single, “All Gassed Up.” “Van Zen is an accomplished guitarist and musician. One would do well to sit at his feet and learn.”-Gene Simmons, KISS”


Gorky – “She Spoke”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “This song was the no. 1 favorite song of our friend Skye Perez, who died aged 17 in 2016 when she was hit head-on in a car accident. We re-recorded it for what would have been her 18th birthday. It used to be one of our least favorites, and now it is our most endearing.”


Simply Brick – “Left, To Nowhere”

Country: Canada

Genre: Shoegaze / Dream Pop

From the Artist: “This song was recorded independently back in September 2020 but was only fully completed in October 2021 due to issues during the pandemic. This song is about an acid trip and shows off the shoegaze influences within the band.”


Matthew Ryan Jacobs – “The River”

Country: Canada

Genre: Folk / Americana

From the Artist: “This song is the first single after my debut EP released in March 2021. It was once again recorded with my producer Ben Kempel in his studio, which is an old converted church.”


Mozart Gabriel – “Operate”

Country: USA

Genre: Pop Punk / Pop Rock

From the Artist: “I lucid dream to follow my ex girlfriend, so we could spend more time together. Sadly It didn’t work out in my dreams either. So here is what I wrote.”


Fat Boy Delerium – “AntiHero”

Country: Germany

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “It is a song about epic night rides that, as so often, end in a total crash when you are with bad company. You already know before it starts. But the longer the night goes by, the less you care about it.”
