Autosleeper – “Not To Be Reproduced”
Country: Spain
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: “”Not To Be Reproduced” is an upbeat, danceable, anxiety attack of a song inspired by bands like A Certain Ratio, Gang of Four and classic punk from the late 70’s/80s. The song is inspired by the painting of the same name by René Magritte and the lyrics tackles the loss of self awareness and increasingly short term memory nature of culture. We hope you like the song!”

Elohyek – “Judy”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Judy is an alternative rock banger with an intricate but approachable rhythm. It has a driving energy and a highly textural production. The song implements a sampling method where portions of the drum parts were recorded onto a cassette, modulated, converted to a unique drum machine, and then layered along with the rest of the drum machine to make an entirely novel sound.”

Frank Ivy – “New State of Mind”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: “It’s a hopeful and exciting up-tempo record about moving on from the past, and not letting anything hold you back. We zoom out and start thinking about fate, purpose and the perception of time.”

F Markiser – “Poor Boy”
Country: Norway
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist: “With a background of touring through Norway in a shitty van smelling his bandmates intestines, Jørgen Frydstad started F Markiser in an attempt to make a band consisting of only himself. He built a studio in his apartment and started writing songs and recording them. With raw self-played, no fancy editing productions, F Markiser will write himself into music history as the guy who made it okey to sing out of pitch again.”

Jake Knox – “Jake Is Dead (Head Underwater)”
Country: US
Genre: Pop Rock
Words From the Artist: “Jake is Dead is a song I wrote at one of the lowest parts of my life. I was sitting on the side of the road in the middle of one of the biggest depressive spirals in my life. Everything seemed to fall apart and I felt like I was faced with two choices. One darker choice, and one choice to go and try and write my thoughts in a song. Writing the song was the option that saved my life.”

Powder Horns – “The G.O.M.s”
Country: US
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From the Artist: ” A pulsating track from the outset, “The G.O.M.s” equally fuses swirling guitars with a thumping rhythm that careens through heavy curves of searing fuzz and powerful vocals, all heavily steeped in a timeless production value that feels more classic than modern.”

Your Ex And I – “If You’d Only”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: ““If You’d Only” explores darker themes of lust, fantasy and expectation while never losing sight of their signature sound. The creative chemistry between the five musically experienced members shines, acknowledging influences such as The Beatles, The Police, The Pixies, and Arctic Monkeys. The result is a tasty mix of melody and muscle that is dark yet danceable, polished yet never too slick. The combination of ‘80s synth lines, fat bass hooks, driving indie rock guitars, and the skillful use of both vintage analog and modern instruments and recording gear is an irresistible one.”

Semaphore – “Smother”
Country: US
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From the Artist: “‘Smother’ is a song about trying to fight against anxiety and uncertainty,” shares Anandalingam. “To me, part of the human experience is the fact that so many people never quite figure out their purpose. It’s tough to trust in a future that you feel is accelerating toward the void. It’s hard to be too sure of anything, especially when the forces of technology keep you in this suspended state of angst and complacency. Musically, this song was inspired by Foo Fighters and Balance and Composure, but while drawing from some overt shoegaze harmonic influences that I never heard them touch upon. Most of my experimentation when writing is dictated by the tuning that I choose. After coming up with the chorus in a more standard ‘Drop D’, I changed some of the higher strings to ring out sympathetically, much like a sitar.”

Mansfield – “The Nature of a Troubled Mind”
Country: Denmark
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “‘The Nature of a Troubled Mind’, describes frustration and longing for love and acceptance. With its compelling guitar riffs and poetic lyrics, ‘The Nature of a Troubled Mind’ speaks directly to the listener, as the lead vocal soars above the instruments. The music video illustrates the themes of loneliness and longing by using symbolism and close-up shots of the band.”
