Cali Three – “My Jam”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This track is a high-energy blend of hip-hop, funk, and alternative rock that channels defiance, self-expression, and digital-age tension into something playful and powerful. It’s driven by raw charisma, layered with bold production, and built to move both bodies and minds. The vibe is confident, unfiltered, and unapologetically original meant for anyone carving out their space in a chaotic world.”

Reefeater w/ Ratsalad. – “Earwax”

Country: Australia

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Fun, high energy punk collaboration out of Western Australia. Breakdown at end!”

Dylan Fellows – “Don’t Let Me Leave Again”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Don’t Let Me Leave Again is about when you unwittingly or knowingly ignore what someone is telling you, and instead assign your own motives or wants to them. More specifically, it’s about someone trying to leave a relationship, but the other person is convinced that they don’t actually mean it, based on the look in their eyes.”

The Ton-Ups – “Chump Change”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “From NYC sessions in 1994, this uncovered batch of songs brings us back to garage rock at its finest.”

Follow Me Dark – “Aurora”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Aurora” is the third single off Follow Me Dark’s new album “Far From Any Shore”, a concept album produced by Grammy nominee Chris Tabarez and recorded with old-school microphones, analog preamps, and no click tracks in a converted summer cabin in the woods of Northern California. The band formed in 2019 in Grass Valley, California and their sound draws on grunge, alternative metal, post-rock, and 70s progressive rock. “Aurora” bears many of the trademarks of Follow Me Dark’s sound – soaring vocal lines, guitar crescendos, quiet-loud dynamics, emotionally raw lyrics – and blends in a wink and a nod to sunny late 90s alternative rock radio staples by the likes of Third Eye Blind, Weezer, and Smashing Pumpkins to create a sound that is both nostalgic and edgy.”

Dan Boreal – “Bottleneck Noose”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““Bottleneck Noose” is the raw, art-rock-infused new single from Quebec’s Dan Boreal, out June 20. Written on the cusp of his 2-year sobriety milestone, it blends math rock tension, post-punk grit, and alt-rock hooks into a cathartic spiral of crashing choruses and tightly wound verses. Fans of Muse, Royal Blood, and Nothing But Thieves will feel at home in its layered production, emotional urgency, and fearless vulnerability.”

Charming Scar – “Kindness”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Native Analog Records presents the fourth single by Charming Scars – “Kindness”. The tuning is Drop C at 432Hz and the time signature has a shift from 3/4 to 4/4 at a section in the song. The song structure is extremely unique, which displays a high level of technicality and overall musical prowess by the band. The production consists of real drums as opposed to drum replacements heard in a lot of modern rock/metal in this era. The vocalist provides the listener many different vocal colorings throughout the track with instant memorable melodies, keeping the flow of the song interesting from beginning to end. The bass provides individual character with the riffs and phrasing.”

Hawker – “Attack The Hive”

Country: Australia

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR:  “It’s DIY punk rock at its filthy rawest, recorded in the basement and Hawker HQ in Sydney Australia, the band lays down multiple heavy riffs , ferocious drums and angry raw vocals with this latest release. Hawker sounds pissed this time and the fans like it. “

DA//TE – “Contagious”

Country: Germany

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Contagious” is a punchy alternative rock track blending emo vocals with heavy guitars and a Big Chorus.With raw lyrics about anxiety and emotional chaos. For fans of intense hooks and gritty honesty.”

Broken Yolks – “Plaids, Hats, or Tats”

Country: Canada

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Plaids, Hats, or Tats is a scrappy, self-aware anthem that pokes fun at the need to fit in while trying to stand out. With crunchy riffs, a singalong chorus, and a tongue-in-cheek edge, Broken Yolks channel their punk roots into a track that’s both sharp and strangely sincere. It’s a soundtrack for anyone who’s ever questioned the scene while still loving every second of it.”

teethin – “DUD”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A slight continuation of ‘Lara Scoffed’, our frustration with artists and bands cosplaying a working class image. People who feel above others, be that a local in a pub who’s there every night or someone living on the streets, seem to forget that they’re merely steps away from being there themselves, it’s all circumstantial but one thing’s for certain, people in our circles are a hell of a lot closer to homelessness or alcoholism/drug addiction than they are to being well off. We wrote this song over a long period, it went through a number of versions but the lyric “penny chic” kept popping into our heads so we wanted to see it finished.” They continue, “It came from that time where Kim Kardashian decided to dress up as a pilgrim and it just sent a chill of cringe and fury down our spines. People with wealth are eternally inspired by working class art but will never want to experience the situations that breed this art. For various reasons but regardless, it irks us. Most of us in the band have struggled financially and have fallen into overdoing drugs and alcohol to cope, which just creates a vicious cycle of spending your last few pound coins on another pint or whatever. It’s not fun, it gives way to good music and inspiration if you find a way out of it sure but cosplaying these situations to push your own profit is fucked up.”
