Saveline – “A New End”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “With multiple time signatures and key changes, “A New End” stands out for its unique structure and the raw emotion it carries. Dallas and Rich blend tension and release, creating a track that feels both conflicted and relieved. The lyrics reflect on the complexities of relationships, showing that even in the end, there is growth and acceptance. The song also touches on the tension between longing and the realization that it’s okay to let go.”

Enfixed feat. Ameiyah – “Drowning”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song was written in February last year, just two weeks before we had a battle of the bands and our lead singer had just dropped out. This song is about not knowing what will happen after a series of events that lead to this sort of weighed-down feeling. Ameiyah is a long time friend of the band and she wrote the lyrics and played guitar for us at the Exchange in Twickenham on that fateful evening.”

Stonehocker – “In Need”

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “It took me so long to figure out what I needed – sometimes we just have to stop trying to force things. In this song, I share that feeling of surrender and the peace it brings.”

Lowest Fi – “You Just Hate Me”

Country: Switzerland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Sometimes people who don’t even know you will hate you. Simply because you don’t fit in with their world view. Maybe they don’t like your hairstyle or your clothes or they just hate you because they enjoy hating. That’s what this Post-Punk-Song is about.”

meltcitizen – “Cremation Girls”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Track 2 off of my new EP. A very simple, straight forward expression of frustration brought on by unrequited love.”

Strange Demons – “Aspartame”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Strange Demons’ new single ‘Aspartame’ packs punch with its heavy, energetic alt rock sound. Drawing inspiration from bands like Royal Blood, Queens of the Stone Age and Deftones, this track delivers massive guitar riffs, melodic vocals and pounding drums.”

This Sinking Ship – “Dies with Me”

Country: Australia

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Dies with me is a high energy and an emotive track that dives into the struggles of intergenerational trauma. The song combines raw energy, melodic hooks and storytelling to convey a message of hope.”

Elephants and Stars – “Strangers on a Train”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Strangers on a Train tells the story of people moving through life as if they’re staring out of a train window, passively watching their days slip away. It reflects when a relationship’s familiarity breeds contempt and then disintegrates into apathy. Originally, the song was composed with a lot of major chords, but these clashed with the somber tone of the lyrics. It was later reworked with darker, moodier minor chords, drawing clear inspiration from The Hellacopters’ Rainy Days Revisited.”

Mikey Demilio – “2 Dead In New Brunswick”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is the first single off a record me and friends from Nashville have been working on since January 2024. The Record was recorded in Jaxon Studios in Jackson, TN and along with a few other homemade studios around Nashville and was finished up at Darkhorse in Franklin, TN. The stories mostly come from my life growing up in New Jersey and my story in general.”

Theo Black – “What’s It For?”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song was written almost stream of consciousness a few months after a rough break-up. My girlfriend of two years had cheated on me and I was left feeling very insecure and inadequate, wondering if it was possible to find love in a post dating app world. I was still processing a lot of emotions and maybe drinking a little more than I should have been alone one evening when I sat down with my guitar and recorded a little idea. I layered another guitar and some bass and the chorus lyrics just flowed out without much thought. That initial vocal take is layered into the intro somewhere and those guitars ended up on the final track. What’s It For? is a snapshot into my mind in that vulnerable moment and explores the ideas of modern love and commitment. And maybe of knowing when you’ve finally been mistreated enough to move on for your own sake.”
