Calling Cadence – “Just The Way it Goes”

Country: USA

Genre: Americana

From the Artist: ““Just The Way It Goes” is revenge for anyone who has been ghosted by a potential love interest. Inspired by the golden era of classic American soul, Motown Records, and old school rock & roll, Calling Cadence flip the script by taking aim at those who suddenly cut off all communication. A steady groove and rhythm section lay the foundation for Calling Cadence to soar through an inspired acoustic guitar performance, bright keys, and a punctuated horn accompaniment. The end result is as lively as it is empowering. When has getting ghosted ever sounded so fun?” 


Phax Machine – “Play Dead”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “An energetic garage punk tune about that horrible feeling of having to talk to an obnoxious person in the grocery store. Our solution? Play dead!”


Craig Irving – “Wake Up”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Upbeat, hard hitting guitar and synth driven indie rock from Scotland.”


DOGDAD – “Plastic Hearts”

Country: USA

Genre: Post-Punk

From the Artist: “Plastic Hearts is the first single from my self-titled album coming out January 21st 2022. The album is a reflection on how toxic and destructive I had been behaving while trying to cope with my depression. Plastic Hearts is about feeling that I deserve to be depressed and alone as a consequence for my actions. “This is what I get”. It’s about hitting rock bottom and asking “how do I get out of here?”


Raising Ravens – “In My Room”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “‘In My Room’ is a rollicking rock song about frustration over people who do not respect other’s boundaries with inspiration drawn from the behavioural patterns of Finlayson’s delinquent cat, Cyril.”


Doc Landry – “Paris State of Mind”

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer-Songwriter

From the Artist: “A physicist turned folk-pop artist, Doc Landry’s music is inspired by universal and timeless themes. After discovering his voice and a passion for songwriting in his late 30s, Doc turned to producer Les Cooper (Craig Cardiff, Jill Barber, Meaghan Smith, David Myles) who most recently recorded his forthcoming EP, Axiom. Inspired by Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, Axiom will feature five songs each exploring a different perspective on love: romantic, self, parental, brotherly and spiritual. The first of which is “Paris State of Mind,” inspired by a trip taken with his wife to the City of Light, capturing the essence of Parisian romance.”


Ivy Gardens – “Up All Night”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “We as a society are persevering through the most confusing time in recent memory and Toronto alternative rockers, Ivy Gardens, are paying homage to that notion with their latest adrenaline-fuelled single “Up All Night.” “Lyrically, it’s about trying to make things work despite not being able to control other things getting in the way,” Ivy Gardens says. “


Bloods – “BOSS”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “My friends and I talk a lot about being women who work in predominantly male environments. I know so many amazing, strong, intelligent women who have at one time or another struggled to feel heard, taken seriously or worry their assertiveness is taken as aggression. I wrote BOSS as a sort of mantra for my friends. I wanted them to have something that they could put on anytime they felt the world was stacked against their hopes and dreams to remind them that they deserve to be at the table and that they are a mother fucking BOSS.”


Plastic Rhino – “King”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Plastic Rhino is a female-fronted alternative hard rock band from Los Angeles, formed in 2012 by vocalist Atara Glazer, and guitarist/bassist Jack Glazer. Drawing from influences such as Alice In Chains, Muse, Soundgarden, and Queens Of The Stone Age, the band continues to shape their sound. Coming out from a brief hiatus, their latest single “King”, produced by Tom Chandler with Ron Geffen, was recently featured on Spotify’s Editorial Playlist “All New Rock”, as well as lots of great press and feedback. The song was also featured on 95.5 Heidi and Frank Show to great reviews. The Duo plans on releasing more new music and content throughout 2022.”


Alms – “Headspace”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “”Headspace” is a reflection on growing up. Atop of the song’s hypnotic guitar lines and meditative rhythm, the lyrics recall coming face to face with change. Singer Roman Zangari says, “I tried to write about when I first began to come to terms with the fact that the simplicity and innocence of my childhood was gone, and how unsure and scared of the future I felt in that moment. It’s also about friendship: I started to notice those bonds that felt unbreakable to me as a kid begin to wither as interests shifted and money and other relationships started to become more important. All of these factors would inevitably strain on the “us against the world” mentality that defined my most important childhood friendships, and disappointment and let-downs began to set in”. It’s the heartache that accompanies this kind of change that the song tries to highlight. “


Josh Scalise – “Time to Live”

Country: USA

Genre: Rock

From the Artist:”This song was written from a personal point of view of mental health. My goal is to have this song reach the minds of those in need”


Nerd Neck – “Seven Years”

Country: USA

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “In the concrete basement where up is down and residue from molten hops excrete from every orifice of our unshaven faces, the swirling dizziness of the mental freak-shows that are our daily lives begin to make just a bit more sense. When the amps are hot, the volume is deafening, and the silence between the passages come together in beautiful harmony, that feeling of creation is blissful euphoria. And nothing else truly matters. That’s all I need.”


Topline Addicts – “Gotta Thank God”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist:  “The 3rd single off our debut EP, Gotta Thank God was recorded in our home studio in Dallas, Texas”


Dave Sheinin – “St. Paul”

Country: USA

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “A grungy, hard-charging ode to my musical North Star — the great Paul Westerberg.”
