Clifton – “Run On Our Own”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Youth takes everything on our plate and moves it aside while we enjoy the moment. Those memories we make, those random encounters and energies we put out, experimenting with our lives; it’s a living some never touch on, and for those that do, they’ll always look back fondly on. I’ve done everything possible to capture that house band, beers with your friends energy into a pop/rap/rock track for all to feel nostalgic about.”

Rogue Rising – “CRUSH”

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “When I wrote “CRUSH,” I was processing a painful betrayal from someone close to me. You can be hurt so deeply that it stops you from becoming who you were meant to be. “CRUSH” is my answer to the dream killers out there! It’s my way of saying, “I’ll prove you wrong,” and I hope it inspires others to do the same.”

Nick Faye – “Undone”

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Dating can be really fun, and I made some really special memories while getting to know a lot of great people I met online or in person. But sometimes people can be really cruel on the internet or disrespectful towards others’ time, attention, and energy. This song was written when I was feeling tired and worn out from a particularly brutal period of online dating.”

Afinello – “Hand of God”

Country: Germany

Genre: Hard Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Hand of God” explores themes of power, fate, and redemption. The song seamlessly combines the grit and intensity of classic heavy metal with contemporary hard rock elements, delivering an unforgettable listening experience.”

Duncan McCartney – “The Long Night”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “his song was written during an intense period of personal growth; I was working hard to overcome some things and to change my mindset. I think that growth comes through in this song, as it lyrically evolves to become more optimistic and hopeful about the future. Musically, it was influenced by the ’90s Seattle scene, bands like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. I love those bands for their blend of heaviness and interesting musical colour, and tried to put my spin on that and to have the music reflect the lyrical journey.”

Captain Relapse – “True”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “For Captain Relapse, “True” was one of the first songs to take shape as the band emerged from the pandemic lockdowns. Driven by emotionally charged vocal melodies and lyrics, the song also moves quickly from acoustic to hard rock.”

Breaks – “Stay/Go”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Breaks wrote “Stay / Go” in their home studio in Los Angeles over the course of a few sessions. The song is about not wanting to commit to a person, while also not wanting them to go away.”

Harrison Kipner – “Second Thoughts”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Harrison wrote “Second Thoughts” Live on Twitch, with 9 of his followers as official co-writers from all over the world. It’s the first of a new venture of writing with his community. They each share in writing percentage of the song, and all equally contributed to the song itself. They started from scratch, and sent messages to the chat and other ideas to the Discord as Harrison started to play different progressions and sing different melodies. One of the co-writers shared their experience of being at such a low point in their life that they wanted to end it all. And everything that went into dragging themselves back to hope for a better day. Music was their salvation. And it was through music, and this song, that they all healed to bonded together. Second Thoughts is a song about coming back from the ledge, coming back from the darkest moments and finding beauty in staying, for the little things, and love. It’s also special to this little intimate streaming community because it marks the beginning of their journey of writing music together. “
