Tom Welsh – “It’s a Beautiful Thing”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: This song was kind of written as an acknowledgement of what music has given me – I was tasked with writing some tunes to work with someone I really admire and this basically came from thinking ‘it’s great that I get to do this sort of thing’. It came out quickly because I was kind of just talking about the process and what it means to me. That sounds a bit corny/cliche but I also thought it could be interpreted as however people get things off their chest, and the value of that.

Aaron Wylder – “Folk Star”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “I wrote this song back in late August,” Wylder says. “If I remember correctly, it started out with me thinking about the process of trying to write a really good song, and trying to put myself in the shoes of the greats as best as I could. As I continued, it turned into an ode to the life of a folk star.”

Hollow Head -“I Can See You”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ‘I Can See You’ emphasizes the ‘rock’ side of this indie rock track. Heavily influenced by Foo Fighters and Third Eye Blind’s first album, this track is an attempt to re-revolutionize music similar to the 90’s, all while staying approachable for the indie rock listeners.

Noisy Vertigo – “Twenty Years”

Country: France

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The second single from my incoming 5th album called Twenty years. This song is about youth love stories and delusion.”

Bryson & Co. – “So Far Away”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: This is a rock and roll song about missing the one person you love the most and doing anything you can to get back to them.

Statues – “Draconian Laws”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Statues are back with their energetic melodic indie/punk. This time one of their more melodic songs ever but still with a sense of urgency and melancholy that you can find in bands like Husker Du or The Replacements.

Acid Tongue – “Acid On The Dancefloor”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song was inspired by taking acid and going out dancing. I have overdone it with LSD on a handful of occasions, and the results have been terrifying. What sort of person drops acid and goes to a dance club? I asked myself this question and then I wrote this song.”

Diet Smiles – “24”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: 24 is a grungy story about coping with the loss of a loved one from addiction. The verses hone in on the the life of the loved one and the things that catalyzed their death. The chorus really dives into the emotions of regret and longing. As for the outro, it’s the final release of emotions— representative of throwing in the towel and giving into the overwhelming feeling of grief.

Cackle – “Want It, Eat It, Taste It”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Feel the adrenaline rush of ‘Want It, Eat It, Taste It’, a sonic explosion of power and emotion. It challenges you to seize the moment and shows you nothing comes easy. To reach the top, you must overcome every hurdle and hardship, so don’t let the cold wet morning stop you running out the door.

MESH – “Hit and Run”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: At its core, “Hit and Run” is a coming-of-age ballad that reflects on the journey of self-discovery and growth. The lyrics delve into the experience of evolving into one’s true self, navigating life’s twists and turns, and ultimately coming to terms with the past. The title metaphorically captures the essence of this introspection, likening the process of personal development to a fleeting encounter, where one revisits their former self like a scene from a hit-and-run.
