Woodlot – “Bring It Down”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Our first single “Bring It Down” is about the frustration many people feel these days about being so connected but somehow not being able to truly communicate.”

Jen Cloher – “My Witch”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: The track is off of Cloher’s upcoming album, I Am The River, The River Is Me, inspired by their powerful matrilineal line of wāhine Māori. It is made with the care and ease of someone who knows that their past began before birth, and will continue long after they’re gone.

The Autumn Parade – “Soul Arise”

Country: Belgium

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “The song is about bringing out the best in yourself (instead of looking for it in material things). Musically it kinda goes back to alternative rock music from the 1980s, which I like very much. It is mainly the simplicity and space in the music from that time that appeals to me. That often seems to get a little lost in modern productions which tend to be a bit crammed with too many layers (at least to my ears).”

Jonathan Sparks – “Surrender”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: This is a Southern-influenced rocker with mean guitar riffs about “the masks we put on to make it easier to face ourselves in the mirror when we have to tell ourselves a lie. The mask too is that it reveals its own truth: to embrace the absolute chaos that is. Accept it all, and surrender.” Sparks is a Renaissance polymath with a successful legal & business coaching career complimenting his musical prowess. He’s opened for Tom Petty & Santana, and is selling out venues in Atlanta.

Jake Pinto – “Best That We Can Be”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: The album’s first single “Best That We Can Be” dances twinkling over a simple left-hand piano figure, its finely grained vocal is intimate yet late-night cinematic before blossoming into a guitar-stroked hook.

The Horizons – “Reason To Love You”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: A brooding tale of intense love that features a sweeping orchestral chorus, sultry guitar riffs and builds to a dark ending.

HADEE. – “KEROSENE”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “It started out as an instrumental idea I had made a couple years back. It was a bassline that I had then developed, but I couldn’t seem to think of the right words for this one idea. I had almost accepted that it would never become a full song. Fast-forward to this past summer, I had found the original recording of the instrumental, and that’s when the chorus melody we hear in the song came to mind. This allowed me to further get into the storyline and arrangement, so I could create a decent demo.”
