Mudge the Dog – “Hey Dad”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “We wrote this song together about problems we’ve had with our parents. It’s meant to be a “screw-you” to parents who act like teenagers.”


Paul de Leon – “Habit”

Country: Austria

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “This song was honestly written because I was stuck doing something I didn’t love. It’s my songwriting equivalent of a big f*ck you to everyone giving me grief for being who I am. Yeah, f*ck you.” 


The Slang – “Break The Rules”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Slang is the unofficial language of any culture. Important messages and honest communiques are delivered through slang. Inspired by this concept, ‘The Slang’ is an American indie rock band that writes about common topics from their uncommon perspective.”


TLB – “Fucked Up and Lonely”

Country: USA

Genre: Pop Punk

From the Artist: “Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Tom Higgenson (Plain White T’s) joins forces with brothers Darren and Eric Vorel to bring forth a sound reminiscent of the Ramones – they are bringing the pure punk vibes you’ve been missing for the last 20 years into the 21st century. Their self-titled debut album was rated “two middle fingers up” and now they’re back with 10 more songs to rock out to while you mentally curse out your ex. Released on Halloween 2020, Blood + Sand is a perfect blend of unrequited love and downright resentment. Performing at venues from the SXSW festival to the infamous 9:30 Club in DC, TLB takes charge of any stage they’re put on and will have you screaming along with them in no time.” 


Dracula Jackson – “Burn”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Love, Longing and Rollercoasters”


Spun Mellow – “Spotlight”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Spotlight is about the push and pull of a toxic relationship. At any moment you can come back to each other, feeling as good as new, or you can just as quickly push each other away. The video emphases this relatable topic through a modern dance duet, with my co-star being the “spotlight”. Thanks for watching!”


Last Quokka – “Cue”

Country: Australia

Genre: Post-Punk

From the Artist: “Australian punks Last Quokka have returned a new single: Cue, the first taste of their upcoming new LP (their fifth release). Cue is the first song to be written and recorded by the band as a five piece and is a bigger, beefier and bolder Last Quokka. Recorded at Hopping Mouse Studios in Fremantle, Western Australia and mastered by Simon Struthers, Cue is a more polished and refined sound for the band. Having undergone major changes and trials these last two years, including postponing national and international tours, as well as changing the lineup for the first time in the band’s five year history, the release of Cue demonstrates a significant positive shift for the band.”


The Misconfigurations – “It Pertains to Silence Now”

Country: Switzerland

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “The song «It Pertains To Silence Now» is my personal «Mullholland Drive»-experience, my illusion of a golden future. At the age of 22 I decided to go to California, the land of my musical idols. I sold everything and flew to LA carrying only two suitcases and my Gretsch Corvette guitar. After a lot of help from new friends and some luck, I got a recording job at EastWest Studios, still the best rooms for rock recordings in town. Wow! Instantly I was in the middle of everything. It was a riot! But also, I experienced hardcore U.S. capitalism. We lived from hope while being exploited. “


Ty Gold – “Distant Sound”

Country: Argentina

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “This song is about a conversation with yourself, about the duality in ourselves and how hard it is to face the truth sometimes. By taking a step back and pretending the conversation is with someone else, things become clearer and you’re left with the reality of who you are and what you want.” 


Shuffalo – “City Quitters”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “‘City Quitters’ is a song about getting out, ripping down the curtains and shaking off the monotony, ‘taking what we’re given and turning into something more.’ It’s a fun and fast indie pop song with bright guitars produced by Matt Di Pomponio (Said the Whale, Dear Rouge) who traveled to Calgary in 2020 to produce and mix the track.”


First Frontier – “Insist”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “At its core, INSIST is a love song. But unlike most love songs, it’s about wanting to make yourself better for somebody that you love. The song flies in the face of modern, western romance, where the other person is seen as an object in the pursuit of self-actualisation. We wanted to explore how love is not about seeking somebody to complete us, but about finding somebody who makes us want to make ourselves complete.” 


Mia Mera – “Leave Them All Alone”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “This is a protest song. It comes from a spirit of defiance and is meant to inspire revolt. Who are we kidding? Corporations are the new government with advertising and media as the puppets. They decide what we see, hear and think right in front of our face and we do nothing. Superficial consumerism, life decisions, distractions from the true inequality that’s gone unchecked for too long. But as they say at the crime scene, “Move along, nothing to see here.” So we leave it alone, we leave them all alone. It’s us that’s left behind. “


Bad Heritage – “More Woman”

Country: UK

Genre: Classic Rock

From the Artist: “This song is about feeling empowered as a woman, whichever way you identify as one and despite what the media may say”
