mehro – “like you’re god”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “”like you’re god” is primal. Skittering beats, half-whispered lyrics, falsetto vocal runs – the track almost enjoys languishing in the bodily desires mehro sings about. There’s a palpable reservation that captures you, waiting for the song to burst but it never does; it just draws you deeper and deeper down into an abyss of yearning.”


Killa Cortez – “Like That”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Written and Produced by Greg Cortez ( Desi Valentine, Westpark, Kylie Spence) and Jordan Blackmon ( Toro y Moi, Leon Bridges, Daniel Ellsworth ), Like That is about the pain someone goes through when their partner cheats on them. It’s a frenetic audio journey meant to capture the heated emotions of that moment. Like That was tracked and mixed at Elliott Smith’s former studio, New Monkey Studio” 


J. Mann – “Money, Not Love”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “”Money, Not Love” is based on a “friendly” real-life heist in Buenos Aires.” 


Jamboree – “The Snow”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist:  ““It’s freeing being resigned to doom.” This is the thought that drove the creation of Life in the Dome, the sophomore album from Winnipeg indie-rockers Jamboree. The record’s first single The Snow is out today; it’s is a brisk and exhilarating snapshot of turmoil with a searing hook. “


Anarbor – “Drugs”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist: ““‘Drugs’ is a song that begins with a story. It draws you in with its catchy guitar riff and retro verse melody. Once the chorus hits, it’s everything you wanted and more. When I heard the first mix, I couldn’t get the hook out of my head for days, so much that I would hear it in my sleep. It’s upbeat and simple, and sometime’s that’s all it takes.”


Keanu Reefs – “Drown in the Shower”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist: “This is going to be Keanu Reefs’ most major release yet, pouring a huge amount of money and time into a new studio in Chicago with new sound engineers, heads of mastering, and more. Beyond this though, the song is INCREDIBLY meaningful. Our singer, Noah, just came back from a multi-month hiatus, in which he lost several family members. He was quite eager to put his emotions into song, and as a result, we were able to write, “Drown in the Shower”. The song is about how you can have everything in the world, and still feel like your head is under water, even if others can’t tell. We will be promoting this hugely on social media, billboards, and so much more.” 


MALLSEX – “Yes Not No”

Country: Canada

Genre: Post-Punk

From the Artist:  “Our new stand-alone single, Yes Not No, will be released on all major platforms on February 22, 2022. “Yes Not No is a dirge for the digital age. The verses smack you with shoe-goth guitar and punk attitude, while the choruses soar and crash right into your psyche. Don’t miss this one.”


Roseneath – “Blurred & Bent”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “The song is written from the perspective of someone who has crippling anxiety. People close to me as well as myself deal with mental health issues daily and this is a song of hope for those struggling. If anything, I want others to know they aren’t alone in feeling the way they feel, and it will get better.”


Painted Sky – “Burned Out”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Rock

From the Artist:  “Burned Out is an energetic ride that throws you straight into the mid 00’s. On it you hear clear influences from bands such as The Hellacopters and Foo Fighters, as well as a hint of Black Sabbath in the bridge. This is the third single from Swedish rock band Painted Sky’s debut album ‘Somber. A band that stands with one foot in the electric blues of the early 70’s and the other in the dirtiest of 80’s sleaze and hair metal.” 


Castells – “Do It All Again”

Country: UK

Genre: Pop Rock

From the Artist:  With 2022 well and truly underway, Castells are delighted to announce latest single, Do It All Again. Written alongside Luna Bay’s Connor O’Mara, Do It All Again is characterised by euphoric choruses and bittersweet versus, Do It All Again finds the four-piece reaching for the stars, creating a rousing sound that wouldn’t be out of place soaring in arenas country-wide. 


Electric Candlelight – “Don’t Turn”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: ““Don’t Turn” is the latest single from Philly this rock n’ roll quintet that WXPN has dubbed a Supergroup. It ain’t “Classic Rock” it just timeless rock n’ roll. ” 


Clea Anais – “Stars Still Dying”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist: ““Stars Still Dying” moves like a pop song, but at its core the lyrics are a love letter from Clea to her father after he passed away. Its dreamy, groove laden production is juxtaposed by darker lyrics describing the cycle of life, the naivety of youth, and the painful experience of watching a loved one die.”
