Tablefox – “Mother”

Country: New Zealand

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “‘Mother’ is the latest track from Tablefox as they start the road to their 4th album. Mother is a powerful song that tells a hugely emotional story for vocalist Clinton Bell ” The song is about me and what I might have said if I could have spoken to my mother before I was born. My mother had signed papers to give me up for adoption but changed her mind when I was born.” The song really plays on what might have been and is something Clinton feels a lot of people might relate to especially from his generation.”

The Appalachians – “Killer Ritalin”

Country: US

Genre: Grunge

Words From the Artist: “Killer Ritalin starts with dueling snare rolls and guitars much resembling an old engine desperately trying to turn over, with a sence of urgency by frontman Adam Sutkiewicz’s beautifully mosaic screaming abilities in a cry to seemingly exhaustively haunting relationships that seems to find resolve within inner peace.”

The Never Ending Fall – “Bad Taste”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “It’s the 2023 ‘Anti-Valentine’s Day’ anthem. It’s the reminder of the best friend with that God-awful guy you’re hoping will magically disappear from her life. It’s the ode to all the nerdy boys who lose to the frat bro. Indie rock wonder-boys Never Ending Fall is coming back with the complex bop that makes people wonder ‘Why can’t the good guys win for once?’ Taking a turn into the dark side, the band has evolved from the once-Baltimore residing jazz band, complete with lighthearted, low-fi-leaning sounds, to an edgy, Los Angeles-centric hot sound. ‘Bad Taste’ is sure to dominate the charts with its epic guitar solos, tonality and just sheer raw energy present throughout the entire track.”

James Beastly – “Vacant Games”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Vacant Games a spiky, wildly sardonic rejection of the shallow. Brazenly awash in retro-rock with an almost masochistic nostalgia. “Jim Dandy’s shooting up in space, weaponizing wealth to desecrate” Beastly muses erupting into an avalanche of thundering drums and slash and burn guitars Fiery riffs and richly textured guitar tones abound, and are often galvanized in grand stylistic detours over the wide ranging rhythms of UK drummer Emily Dolan Davies (The darkness, Bryan Ferry, Tricky) who paired together share a wildly kinetic chemistry.

Ten Eighty Trees – “Running Back 2 U”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “We’ve taken the age-old idea that a lot of creativity and inspiration can come out of the darkest times in your life and for that reason maybe those bad times are a necessary evil. ‘Running Back 2 U’ takes on the subject of unreciprocated love and is the opener of the EP!”

FNTN – “Setting Sun”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “”Setting Sun” is a wistful, psychedelic surf rock song about moving on after losing a friend or romantic partner. Drawing on 60s Beatlesque pop, 70s rock, 80s indie, and 90s shoegaze, its hazy guitars transport you to a long lost summer night. The story of its recording is also quintessentially California. With drums tracked in Topanga, guitars recorded in Silver Lake, and vocals finished in Santa Monica, this self-produced record is FNTN’s first of 2023 and marks the beginning of a new era for the band.”

Garvie – “Never Learn”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Pop

Words From the Artist: “In the explosive Never Learn, Garvie sets his sights on self-help and hustle culture in a production every bit as hyperactive and restless as its subject matter. ‘Recently I found myself procrastinating by watching YouTube videos giving productivity advice. I thought that was funny enough to warrant a song” explains Garvie. Never Learn follows this theme, gleefully chewing up and spitting out the toxicity of the hustle culture that we can feel everywhere around us in 2022.

Paintball – “Venom”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Mid tempo and hook focused rock song with an emphasis on buildup, vocal harmony, and layered guitars.

Drunken Logic – “Ten Years Time”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Have you ever experienced debilitating toxicity in the form of a roommate – and wanted to call that person the F*** out?? Drunken Logic does what we’ve all dreamed of doing in his newest single “Ten Years Time”, calling out the former roommate from hell – the perfect human sludge specimen. Imagine …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead lived with Weezer and realized they weren’t compatible under the same roof… and one of them definitely left dishes in the sink for the last 3 months.

Autom8thesky – “Funny How Relationships”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Autom8thesky is predominantly guitar driven with a splash of electronics to create a celestial feel. It moves so energy is usually high. The texture of the wall of acoustics is meant to resonate
