Curves – “Perpendicular”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This song is called perpendicular because two lines are perpendicular when they only cross once. This song is about a past relationship and about how we were only in our lives once, and I would like to keep it that way.”

MOMV – “Ember”

Country: US

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist: “This is an ethereal, dreamy song with a strong backbeat and smooth lyrics. The melodic chorus is catchy, and it has a ripping guitar solo to round it off.”

Garland Kelley – “The Point of No Return”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  The lyrics are poignant yet relatable and can easily be contextualized in many of today’s most relevant topics. The production is clear and polished while maintaining a human and natural feel. The guitar tone is crisp and well-defined yet nicely aggressive. The bass tone is round and fat and the drums are steady and dynamic, packing a knockout punch. As “The Point of No Return” shows, this artist is committed to making music that matters, giving a voice to his identity, and letting the musicality of his work stand out on its own merits.

Jameson Fox – “Run With Me”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Run With Me” is an alt-rock song (90s/00s college rock vibe) about taking risks and embracing the unknown. Life and love are journeys, and sometimes you need to overcome your fears to get what you want and need in life. The song was co-produced by Dan Konopka of OK Go and features lead guitar work from Gene Micofsky.

Bring Prudence – “Bonfire”

Country: US

Genre: Singer-Songwriter

Words From the Artist: “This song is about the hormone rollercoaster of falling in love for the first time. Just when everything is at its bleakest and you’re ready to “open that sliding door and sink”, you’re swept back to safety by your lover and the possibility of a new life with them. And besides, I’ve always wanted to write a song about the big pile of jackets that forms on a bed in someone’s room during every decent party.”

Now After Nothing – “Fixation Fantasy”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “The sonic atmosphere of the song is like one giant burning star of continuous combustion. It feels equal parts uneasy and harmonious happening all at once. It is warm meets cold, pain meets pleasure, and captures the exact story of the song’s lyrical content: a tale of the worst psychologically abusive relationship. It is about the struggle to break free and reclaim one’s self/identity in the aftermath as told from all three sides of the story.”

Quince & 9th – “Was It Real?”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  “This song was made with the memories and doubts of a past relationship.”

Creamer – “House of Dreams”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Creamer continues exploring the late-era Beatles tradition of the rock mantra with the orchestral art-rock anthem “House of Dreams.” Strings harken Moody Blues, while the heroic vocalist channels cinematic feelings of “Healing” era Todd Rundgren for an immersive listening experience.

John Townsend – “Retrograde”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Retrograde is a song about feeling like your life is falling apart and moving in the opposite direction of progress. Stylistically, it’s a blend of classic alternative metal and modern metal with hard-hitting riffs and beats. The chorus is catchy but far from pop as the singer’s delivery is both melodic and aggressive, like Gojira or Linkin Park.

Camilo EG – “Ay Ay Ay Ay”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “This tune came to life when my 3-month old daughter spontaneously shouted “ay ay ay ay” melodically across the breakfast table one morning. I immediately went to my room, picked up my acoustic guitar, and began to compose. Its lyrics tell the story of a blossoming relationship and how, when love is at its onset, it can fill us with an unrelenting energy that can harness our potentials. Neither sentimental nor sappy, it’s a celebration of love.”
