Citizen Rat – “Shut My Mouth”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Shut My Mouth” was written as an honest reflection on grappling with abusive self-doubt, particularly within relationships, and navigating the challenges of being a neurodivergent, high-energy ADHD person in today’s world. It explores the internal struggles of fearing the impact of one’s true self on those around them, all while trying to survive day-to-day life as the facade begins to slip. The song delves into the tension of wanting to express oneself authentically while battling the emotional and mental toll that comes with being misunderstood and trying to protect others from that vulnerability.”

Blue Orchid Reaction – “Walking In Their Heaven”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A melodic ear worm of a song with a dark key change and an acapella outro”

Lucille Two – “Pixels”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Pixels” is an upbeat, guitar-driven indie pop track that blends shimmering melodies with introspective lyrics. It explores the disconnect between digital illusions and reality, set against a backdrop of infectious rhythms and emotive vocals. The song’s driving energy contrasts with its contemplative themes, creating a dynamic, immersive listening experience. Fans of artists like Alvvays, The Beths, and Wolf Alice will find a hook-filled anthem that’s both thought-provoking and irresistibly catchy.”

Villa Rosie – “Strange”

Country: Netherlands

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Strange is the latest single from Villa Rosie’s upcoming EP ‘Quality Street’. A moody indie song, we twist and turn through themes of love and ever changing times… The guitar driven track arrives at a totally nonsensical ending – helped along by a ‘Doors-ey’ inspired Hammond Organ climax.”

Gustaf Westin – “Call It Even”

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “I’m going to be honest here. This song took forever to finish, I wanted it to be so many things at the same time and I never got satisfied. At the end I just had to give up call it done and move on with the next project. It is still pretty interesting in my opinion, an indie rock song inspired by Kings of Leon, Genesis and the Swedish band Kent, that features heavy guitars as well as clean with overdrive. The outro becomes a surprise, it’s not really what you’d expect. It might be audible that this part is inspired by “Land of Confusion”.”

Heavy Lag – “Husker Don’t”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Simultaneously navigating an existential and economic crisis, one weird day at a time!”

Lina Cooper – “100 MILLION BITCHES”

Country: Ukraine

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “100 Million Bitches” was one of the first songs I wrote for my boyfriend & he got kinda scared after I showed it to him. It’s an unhinged, toxic pop-punk anthem about both being scared to fall in love & accepting that nobody’s perfect.”

Le Gassique – “Raindrops”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Raindrops” is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of melancholy and resilience, blending cinematic violins and bold trumpet flourishes with introspective, poignant lyrics. The track paints a vivid emotional landscape—one moment shimmering with sadness, the next rising triumphantly above the storm.”

The Antibuddies – “Cordelia Chase”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “CORDELIA CHASE!!!! An ode to the REAL star of the Buffyverse and the badassery of both Cordelia and the actor who brought her to life – Charisma Carpenter! A true hero in the fight against the patriarchy and evil men. Cordy- thanks for showing us how it’s done. We won’t let u down!”

Bowden – “Be Your Own God”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song is anthemic, energetic and loud. It is upbeat on the surface but underneath it reflects a deep sense of isolation, of drifting without anchor as familiar structures of community and connections fade. It speaks to uncertainty, whether struggling to find a place to call home, questioning your future, or feeling the weight of a world that seems utterly indifferent. As the ties that once bound communities loosen, this song echoes that quiet loneliness, the seemingly futile search for something solid to hold onto in a time when so much feels uncertain. When you feel you cannot wait on a superman to swoop down and save the day, you’ve got to don that cape yourself.”
