Hear Hear – “Defibrillator”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “From the driving opening guitars and arresting lyrics (twenty dollar ramen, its delicious its a sin, life in Brooklyn, trying not to be toxic) to the expansive lush chorus (if my heart stops get the defibrillator) this song is a wild fun ride”

Chase Tremaine – “Tired Side of Content”

Country: US

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist: Never before have the varied strengths and influences of the multi-instrumentalist – ranging from prog and post-hardcore to boy bands and smooth jazz – been so streamlined and focused than it is on “Tired Side of Content,” which manages to sound accessible and catchy while still boasting an adventurous, unpredictable edge. The song is poised to capture the ears of new fans while capturing the imagination of old fans, who (in the words of Tremaine) “should be on the lookout for multiple musical winks and nods to songs from the first two albums.”

Never Stay Down – “Make Me Feel Alive”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Pop

Words From the Artist: “UK based 4 piece indie rock band inspired by bands such as The Cult, Kasabian, Depeche mode. This song shows our more heavy side and was inspired by the lifting of Lockdown from Covid. Obviously in the UK things were very strict during Covid and we could not really do much outside, so once lockdown was lifted we made this song in celebration of finally being free and being able to go out…. hence the video.”

Rat Silo – “The World Is Going To End Tomorrow”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Hard funk groove with a catchy chorus .Psychedelic noise break. Stand up against the fear mongers.

Slow Cinema – “Sizzler”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Sizzler is our heaviest song to date, full of big fuzzed out guitar riffs mixed with a deep emotional melody. This track has proven to be a favourite in our live shows and gets the crowd moving whenever we play it. “

Black Stone Brewers – “Too Far Gone”

Country: Australia 

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  ‘Too Far Gone’ tells stories of life, a collection of our most vivid moments, the kind that stick in our heads and hearts forever. It culminates in an anthemic chorus as a realisation that these moments are merely figments of the past; that we shouldn’t get lost in the endless swirl of loss, hope, and escape. This is encapsulated by the Brewers’ trademark sound; thunderous drum and bass, swirling synthesizers, soaring guitars, and infectious dual vocals that will be stuck in your head for days.

McDead – “Highway”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “‘Highway’ by McDead… noisy densely packed guitar based psyched rock n roll mayhem about living it large down a Melbourne slip-road so park-our your car… check the video or CCCCall the cops”

BARNABY! – “Why Try”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: BARNABY!, formerly known as MSL, has returned. Now condensed to a power trio, but somehow sustaining an even brighter spark, a sharper edge. Harrison Cannon (bass) and Mike Rasimas (drums), used to back up Mimi Sun Longo (vocals and guitar), but now they’re given equal billing, and as a result, the band has never sounded this tight, this unified in its purpose.

NXCRE – “Indigo”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: ‘Indigo’ champions pushing doubt out of your life from internal and external factors, proclaiming that once doubt is pushed aside real growth and action can take place in anyone’s life. NXCRE explains further “It’s a song that’s meant to make you get up and start moving instead of thinking, acting instead of dreaming”. Backed by a dynamic range of sounds underpinned by heavily distorted riffs and solid drum lines that drives the track forward as NXCRE’s empowered vocal performance comes to the forefront. The ending of the track crescendoes to roaring guitar solos and explosive hard rock riffs resulting in a track that’s both hard-hitting and insightful in nature.

IZZY DED – “Mama’s Only Child”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Mama’s Only Child is one of those songs that ended up being written before I even fully knew what it was about. When I rewrote it the final time, it became obvious that it was cathartically about getting through the fog and darkness brought on by depression and certain tendencies created by self-medicating and seeing past all of that and knowing that even if that scary stuff is always lurking somewhere, you can look onward towards clearer skies. You just have to force yourself to remember it sometimes.”
