Spiders on Drugs – “Rewind”
Country: Sweden
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Spiders On Drugs is the brainchild of swedish guitarist Håkan Järvå. It is an outlet for all the musical ideas that has no place in the regular band I play in. The songs are spanning different genres and you can expect new releases every month, alternating between 70s and 90s rock and soul/funk/jazz.”

Cheats – “Machine Jr.”
Country: Philippines
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: “Jim Bacarro, vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter of the band, says that the genesis of houseplants was the band’s decision to scrap an album that would have been released in March 2020 had it not been for the world stopping. They did so when they were able to regather and regroup, and this album marks a new beginning of sorts. Each Cheats album, Jim says, marks a different phase in the band’s life. “The first [self-titled 2015] album was about youthful rebellion,” he says, “Before the Babies [2017] was about [the] fear of new life stages. I think Houseplants captures where we are now: a sense of security with hints of anxiety.” He adds that this shows in how the songs are arranged.”

JP Gregory – “Beast”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “This song is my personal favorite of the 4 I’ve released within the past year. It is a song about becoming something you don’t really like to see and hoping that the people around you are strong enough to put you in your place while you are enjoying the havoc. The idea for the song came while I was watching my favorite scene from the movie “Logan” on youtube. It got me thinking about how Logan became Wolverine and how he really hated himself after his transformation from human to mutant, but sort of sadistically enjoyed the way he was invincible and could do what he wanted. While there is a silver lining for Wolverine, I opted to keep the silver lining out of this song and keep a dark undertone throughout. The evolving structure of the song really encapsulated the werewolf-like transformation I envisioned while in the writing stages.”

Linebeck – “karoshi (Over A Dream)”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: “‘Karoshi’ means ‘death by overwork’ in Japanese. ‘karoshi (Over a Dream)’ is about just that – it’s about hating your job and balancing it with chasing an unachievable dream. It’s a catchy, jangly track reminiscent of R.E.M. and the Smiths (complete with catty lyrics), but with additional dreamy female vocals.”

Erika Wester – “Fifteen”
Country: US
