Fever Dolls – “Hate Myself (For Loving You)”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “Hate Myself (for Loving You)” is an infectious heartache anthem for fans of Noah Kahan and Lord Huron. Blending indie rock and Americana influences, “Hate Myself” showcases the lyrical storytelling that Vox’s Emily St. James praised as sounding like “a great bar band that would write an amazing Broadway musical,” and features collaborators Willoughby Morse (Cavetown), Riley Geare (Caroline Rose), and Dan Rome (Noah Kahan).

Ryan Torpea – “World On The Brink”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “World On The Brink is an athematic song depicting life in quarantine and the divisiveness in the country. The hope of the tune is to convey that we can work past our differences, clean up the world and protect it from the threats we face as a humanity today.”

Urban Walrus – “All I Really Want”

Country: Switzerland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “”All I Really Want” is a relaxed and fluffy laid-back indie-rock Song in the typical Walrus style. A rich, catchy tune with some surprising chord progressions and a bittersweet, redeeming chorus. The lyrics follow a “what if” pattern, questioning our very being, our goals and values in life. The answer is given instantly by offering a naive hippie-kinda beach-life utopia, as a romantic escape. Close your eyes and dive into it. Can you feel it? Don’t you want to be a Walrus too?”

The Pairs – “Superhuman”

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer-songwriter

Words From the Artist: A smattering of feelings and self-doubt, “Superhuman” tells a personal yet relatable story of realizing how we get caught up in the way we’re being perceived by others instead of truly experiencing life and all the feelings that come with living. We’re not perfect, so why do we put so much energy towards trying to convince people that we are? This song marks the intention to try and drop the hyper perfectionism and accept ourselves as fallible and human.

Rebel Kicks – “Silhouette”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Pop

Words From the Artist: ““’Silhouette’ is a fun, upbeat song about realizing that you’ve built up an unrealistic, idealized version of someone in your head, but once you get to know them, you wish you could go back to before you met,” comments guitarist/vocalist Anthony Babino.

The Money War – “Was It Ever Really Anything”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: As Dylan and James trade verses with Carmen, the drums sit back as the gritty blues guitar drives the single. Gorgeous harmonies are overlayed in the chorus as the slide guitar winds and cruises. The track then bursts out into a slide guitar solo paired with the oscillating synth, before closing with a vivid final chorus embellished by the layers of vocal lines from Pepper, Ollivierre and Seymour.

Super Ghost – “Don’t Talk About It”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Boasting jangly pop guitars, big horn sections, tempo changes and the smooth vocal delivery by Hudson MacMahon, ‘Don’t Talk About It’ is a flurry of indie rock melodies, rhythms and energy. Moving through the ups and the downs, this new track is a whirlwind of emotion conveyed not only in the lyrics but the instrumental behind it.

Joe Nacco – “Down”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: A song about being young, carefree, looking for love and having no real responsibilities.

Hello Ground – “Set Me On Fire”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock 

Words From the Artist: “After dealing with a long term breakup I wanted to write a song reminiscent of the Adam Sandler song from the wedding singer “somebody kill me please”. Mixing some humor with full on depression and despair. Adding just a smidge of hope in there. The hook line “I don’t want to love her anymore” “I don’t want a lover anymore” can read either way.”

Nicholas Walmer – “Japanese Roses”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: A love song about losing someone close to you.
