Mofer – “On A Tightrope”

Country: Germany

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  “A slightly melancholic look back in time. A little sad lovestory with a soothing ending, that shows that the ones who try hard to stay on a tightrope will fall, but the the ones dancing across won’t. So you can dance to it and enjoy some of the 90’s spirit when simple handmade music was crawling up from the underground before becoming a big seller.”

Oh! You Pretty Things – “NYE”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This song is about exploring your sexuality at a party on New Year’s Eve.”

The Was  – “On The Run”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “The single was written during and about the dark, early days of Covid. The band’s first album “Last Song of The Eighties,” drops on 12/28″

93feetofsmoke – “Feel Something At All”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Co Written with Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie the anthemic track narrates navigating the difficult burnout that results from chasing stimulation and enduring and a vicious cycle of dopamine highs and lows. In an age of instantaneity and fried dopamine receptors “feel something at all” is a beckon for more. Just a few additional servings of amperage for the burnt out circuit board. A modest request for a couple more volts. Whatever the outcome may be; “Good” or “bad”. Lord knows I need more.”

Amateur Hockey Club – “You Started a Fire”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “”You Started a Fire” explores a relationship that just isn’t working out and the mental state of the people in it jumping through hoops to make it work. A dark, stripped-back guitar & vocal intro gives way to a thick & sludgy rock band arrangement at 1:25, climaxing with dueling guitars in the bridge beginning at 2:27. The track incorporates elements of Amateur Hockey Club’s typical alternative rock sounds with post-hardcore riffage.”

Tarah Who? – “Royal Knight” (fet. Laura Chevalier)

Country: US

Genre: Grunge

Words From the Artist: “The song is about the different states of mind of people during the lockdown. I wanted to do something different for this video and have different actors to illustrate what the song is about.”

Maggie Witch – “Wired”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This song is about the kids of the 90s in rave culture growing up into working class people who live for the weekend who have nothing else to do but think about the days of their prime.”

The Ability – “You Change Back”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “”You Change Back” is the new single from Chicago, IL, alternative / art rock band The Ability. Pulling from darker ’80s and ’90s alt rock, the song has a ghostly nostalgic vibe that feels mysterious yet familiar.”

Steve Benoit – “Que Sera, Sera”

Country: Canada

Genre: Folk Rock

Words From the Artist: “During his time as a touring musician in bands and Broadway productions like Cash, Ring of Fire and Million Dollar Quartet, Steve Benoit saw the good and bad in society. This led him to write one of his most poignant songs “Que Sera, Sera,” which translates to “Whatever is, Will Be,” a bluesy rock n’ roll response to the goings on in the world. With a Tom Petty-esque swagger, Steve Benoit sings about prescriptions pills, television advertisements, war, distorted truths from the government, underneath a red hot rock n’ roll slide guitar, rhythmic bass, guitar, and drums.”

Torneo – “Reason to Breathe”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  “This track is an innovative blend of modern rock and 90’s shoegaze, space rock and post-grunge, made with lots of love and passion by 5 uni student lads studying by the beach in sunny Cornwall UK”
