Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “My dad and I didn’t talk for the last few years of his life. I wish we had. The last few years, I had a lot of friends who gave up. I wish they called. This is a song about desperate waves. It starts with kitchens and ends with secrets.”

Verner Calvin – “No Update”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Main songwriter Calvin Jordan wrote the song during the two year period he was separated from his wife while waiting for her immigration visa to be processed. Calvin left Taiwan, where he met his wife Anna, to work as a caregiver for two developmentally disabled adults in the US. Every week Calvin and Anna would check the status of her visa on the US government’s immigration website. Oftentimes weeks would pass without any forward progress (“Always waiting for Mondays, to look and see, that there’s been no updates, you’ve made a fool of me…”). In the meantime Calvin was learning to cope with the behavioral issues that his clients presented him with: banging on his door at all hours, pouring weedkiller all over the lawn and his garden, and passing out naked around the house. No Update is a snapshot of the struggles we can endure before things change for the better. The song features real samples of stomping and knocking sounds from his client’s during this period. At the time of release Calvin’s wife Anna will have been living in the US for almost four months.”

Bar II – “Wake Up”
Country: Belgium
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “In our present urban times, over-saturated by electro and hip-hop, dominated by show-offs and pretenders, Bar II keeps their mysteries to themselves. They won’t abide by the dictatorship of imagery only to focus on pure, raw, dark deranged rock music. May they raise the bar, too. “

Slow Fiction – “In the distance, where it doesn’t matter”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “There’s an old saying ‘there are three sides to every story: your side, their side, and the truth.’ The goal was to have this song embody a three-edged sword. Sometimes, the lines of reality and perception become distorted. The title is a line from a poem ‘Imagining Defeat’ by David Berman, who is a great inspiration.”

Swiss Banks – “Make It Work”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “The idea of ‘Make It Work’ started out as this ridiculous riff that I came up with one day at work standing outside in 105 degree heat,” guitarist Lane Fielder says. “It got even more ridiculous when I brought it to the band and we laid it down.” “The lyrics were written in almost one straight stream of consciousness shot,” singer/songwriter Adam Buhrman continues. “I think of someone who has been victimized and experienced significant trauma, especially in a way that damages the ability to form intimate relationships that require trust and vulnerability with another.”
