Bad Athlete – “Scream Queens”
Country: USA
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Scream Queens is a song about female empowerment, celebrating the heroines of many classic horror movies. It was written, recorded, mixed, mastered and released by the band.”
JFT – “Memories of Before”
Country: UK
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “A tune for when you realise that someone isn’t going to change and it brings back some haunting flashbacks from times gone by.”
Mike Stoyanov – “One Night Stand”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “This song is an anthem to hedonism, it’s about going to a nightclub, getting absolutely smashed and trying to hook up with strangers. It’s about the rush of adrenaline that hits you while you walk over to talk to that gorgeous girl at the bar. It’s about the excitement of having casual sex with someone you will never see again because “love is tough babe, who needs that, all I want is one night stand”
Interesting Hobbies Club – “Wednesday”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “At surface level, Wednesday is simply a song about getting drunk on a Wednesday. However, the song has deeper connotations of addiction and the toll it takes on loved ones. Wednesday was written hungover on a Thursday morning, after an intense night of partying. Featuring a memorable chorus and a classic pop-punk breakdown, Wednesday is a testament to poor weeknight decisions and iconic rock staples.”
Kevin The Persian – “Rock is Dead”
Country: USA
Genre: Rock
From the Artist: ” This track was selected as the first single because it is short and high intensity. Despite the title, the song is an ode to rock music sung from the perspective of a lifelong rock fan. The verses reflect on the current music scene while the chorus glorifies rock music for being there through the tougher periods of life.”
in contrast – “4am”
Country: USA
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “This song is reminiscent of early 00’s pop-emo and pop punk. In the same vein as (early) We The Kings, Jimmy Eat World, and (early) Fall Out Boy. This song is about the empty feelings you have during a one night stand. That feeling that you’re making a brief connection with someone but in the end you’ll both be alone in separate beds.”
Pleasure Craft – “Dead Weight”
Country: Canada
Genre: Post-Punk
From the Artist: ““Dead Weight,” the fifth song on the LP, is a heavy, bass and drum driven industrial track that finds the album’s protagonist grappling with self loathing and fear brought on by a newfound self awareness and introspection: “He’s a kid, he’s a soul, he’s a rag doll, he’s a chemical, he’s a bag in the wind, he’s a tag in, he’s a swimmer in a current.”
Rotfang and the Reptilians – “Breakneck”
Country: Finland
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Just now released debut single Breakneck falls in to the first category, presenting our best – and so far only – guitar solo. With sounds redolent of bitter caffeine and extreme sports, this might get your knees to wiggle. Our orchestra is a group of five — four Finnish guys with entirely different backgrounds, finishing up with an Italian maestro in the bass to add some zing.”
Bear Prince – “Yellow Trees”
Country: USA
Genre: Indie rock
From the Artist: “Yellow Trees is about climate change and the chaos we see when humans try to solve the problems we have created. The wealth divide between people has become so extreme around the world that it seems like we’re all living in different realities now. We love the earth and really hope we are able to look at our collective destruction and move towards a more sustainable coexistence in the future before it’s too late.”
Ben Zaidi – “Younger With Time”
Country: USA
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “The hushed melancholic track, apt for release at the start of a new year, tackles the concept of the passage of time. Ben explains, “So much of your 20’s can be defined by the loss of this thing called ‘youth.’ We often end up disowning it, mourning it, and trying to recapture it, all at once. But what if youth wasn’t a time ? What if it was just a name for a particular kind of freedom ? And what if, after all of the heartbreak, the loss, the disillusionment, the apathy––what if you could still find it, with a little help ?”
Chiliocosm – “Diamond Cutter”
Country: Canada
Genre: Punk
From the Artist: “Diamond Cutter is a punk rock rager that hits you right in the face and then drags you to an alien world. Its a mosh inducing track inspired by the relentless work ethic of everyday folk in a chaotic world that’s falling apart.”
Graham Lindsey & friends – “The Next Best Thing”
Country: Canada
Genre: Folk
From the Artist: “”ALWAYS RUNNING TO THE NEXT BEST THING” Until the pandemic, it’s just what we all did. A drinking song for sure, this is also about busy people everywhere, the life of adventure and hectic deadlines and schedules we were all living, but that kept us moving, and happy, and so gloriously exhausted! Our extensive research shows it’s best to listen to this track at an elevated volume, physically distanced… until it’s safe to dance right next to others, seeing this in person or hearing it play on the radio!”
