Jake Huffman – “Martyr”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Pop

Words From the Artist: “His upcoming single “Martyr” was written, recorded and produced at the world renowned PowerStation New England Studio and forms a cohesive ode to his upcoming EP. With compelling discourses, the track explores a commentary about dying on a hill, as he explains, “The lyrics aren’t about what I personally believe. Everywhere I look people are spouting their beliefs while contradicting themselves in the same breath. The world has become so polarizing and I wanted this song to encapsulate that energy. ” With the perfect punch of redemption, his musicality comes to life. Huffman’s anthemic vocal energy rises atop crashing choruses, soaring melodies and the alt-rock infused rhythms he’s been known to possess.”

Sir Echo – “Raven”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Coming in hot with their first single, New York band, Sir Echo, has been inciting mosh pits in basements all over the east coast. Their upcoming track, ‘Raven’, is about someone romanticizing the idea of you, but not understanding the baggage that follows. The verse lyrics in the song are chaotic, to help the listener envision what suffering mental health can look like.”

TOVE – “Pretty Sequence”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “Imagine having a partner who pushes you aside at parties to try to sleep with other people. And it happens so much, so often that you could feel a cartoonish thought bubble showing over your head, a display of the daydream you have about a secret wish that the partner actually cheats on you, so that they no longer can gaslight you into thinking you’re just selfish and jealous, and so that you have a real reason to leave them behind and move alone into the woods instead”

Garland Kelley – “A Mind of Your Own”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: ““A Mind of Your Own” is a quintessential alternative rock song, ticking the boxes of the sound rock fans love while pushing the boundaries and creating an undeniably unique and original sound. The no-frills yet exciting and punchy vibe provides a raw attitude and a colorful positivity. Crafting an effective rock track that has positive insight to offer is a challenge, and Garland has exceeded expectations. This is one of the reasons why the songwriting on “A Mind of Your Own” feels so special.”

Frau – “Shoreline”

Country: Denmark

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “The song describes a person’s longing for their younger self, in a world where you’ve grown up way too fast. The lyrics portray a person in inner conflict, coming face to face with ones own reality and singing to themselves about simpler times. In many ways it is a sad tale of self-discovery, contrasted however by more hopeful and up-beat music. We like this contrast in the narrative.

Posable Action Figures – “Shank”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Shank was written on one of the most miserable days Scotland has to offer, the song details a lesson learned, that not everyone is who they seem.”

Rhodes – “Good To You”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Pop

Words From the Artist: “There was a period of time in RHODES’ life where he thought he was about to lose someone and it spurred him to write “Good To You” to encapsulate a kind of admission of guilt that he is the problem and he knew he needed to change. He played on the idea that without this person he would be literally nothing and no one. He co-wrote this song with his partner who was the person he feared losing, and their good friend Steven Weston. This is one of the most uptempo and cheerful songs in the album, and showcases RHODES’ bright and powerful vocals, accompanied by powerful lyrics and catchy melodies.”

Barefoot on Bumblebees – “Another Way”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “Our first single off our new album Let it Feel Like Something. The song deals with overcoming adversity in the wake of mental collapse.”

BeThisBell – “She’s Not Catholic”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “She’s Not Catholic by BeThisBell – an ode to Kim Deal of The Pixies in full Frank Black style.”

Forge The Sun – “WIGFE”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: “A mix of political classic rock nostalgia with modern elements, WIGFE is your new Detroit Rock ‘n’ Roll anthem! The song may be short in length, but it is jam packed with high energy rock riffs, guitar solos, and booming vocals. The nonbiased lyrics discuss American current events and how the major shift in which we consume information has muddied fact and fiction.”
