Jake Westpy – “The Happy Cage”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “This song will be the second song on my EP “Snapshot” following the title track, it goes into he next steps in my Friday night locked in my room (Cage). Although this may seem like a love song about somebody else, read the first letter of each word in the title to reveal what it is actually directed towards. I used the “wall of sound” production technique on the chorus of the song to emulate the barrier that is created when being locked away”
Modern Eyes – “ROTTEN LOVE”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “Modern Eyes linked up with Dave Sardy (LCD SoundSystem, Oasis, Cold War Kids, Spoon) at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles to produce their latest single titled ‘ROTTEN LOVE’ set to be released 6/21. It explores the dualities of love in its purest form. How you can find the darkest versions of yourself through both happiness and pain and that all the emotions in between affect us in our relationships. A real life account of relationships of the last 5 years for our singer.”
Earnest Aines – “Yellowstone”
Country: Australia
Genre: Americana
From the Artist: ““Yellowstone” sprung out of the depths of inspiration triggered by a documentary I watched by David Attenborough released in 2009. A young Ernest, aged 19, was struck by the natural phenomena in Yellowstone National Park. I was struck by the “diamond dust”, tiny ice crystals floating through the air, making a glowing ice fog along with spectacular “sun dogs” which are 360 degree rainbows adorning the snowy landscapes, the amazing geysers and animal life.”
Matt Whytcross – “The Hearts of Amsterdam”
Country: Australia
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “There was a passage in time where I had broken up with music. I felt betrayed by it and had stopped listening to it, stopped writing, sold off most of my gear and had completely stopped playing – I had moved on and looking for a new relationship. That was until a week in Sao Paulo Brasil, staying with a friend she played me all this great stuff I had been missing and the reconnection was immediate and profound. I went out and bought a guitar there in Sao Paulo and The Hearts of Amsterdam was written later in that week. At that point I’d never been to Amsterdam but my friend had been there recently and the name was born from those stories. The song’s underlying theme is ‘inspired re-connection’.”
The Darling Suns – “Under The Sun”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “This song is about a period in my life when I was struggling pretty heavy with mental health and substance abuse. I moved to the beach to try to escape my life and the terrible things in it, but there I was. This song is kind of the echo of my thoughts from then, and the feeling of hope I finally fell into when I was ready to get better. This is the final single off of our upcoming EP due out July 29th.”
trubbleboy – “Baby Ur Dead 2 Me”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Trubbleboy says on the track, “Have you ever been stabbed you in the back? BYD2ME is about betrayal. You give somebody your trust and devotion only to find them non-reciprocal, unsympathetic, and manipulative.”
Cherokee Death Cats – “Shout It Out”
Country: Sweden
Genre: Post-Punk
From the Artist: “Shout it out is musically like driving a rollercoaster over a cliff and then driving it back up the other side again. It’s an energy fuelled reaction. A shout out, a distorted scream against the toxicity and violence endemic in macho culture.”
Riley Knight – “A Shadow Like Yours”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “A Shadow Like Yours is the first single from my upcoming LP. I wrote this song after having a string of bad dreams that felt like premonitions, which eventually went away as if they never happened.”
ValShal – “Shadows”
Country: Spain
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “In this song I intend to express the longing and desperation of someone who wants to recover his partner, sorry for the mistakes made in the past.” I don’t know if this is what you asked for or if I simply share part of the lyrics.”
BRANLAND – “Rain In My Heart”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “I was inspired musically to make this from listening to 90’s garage rock songs from bands like early Weezer and Grandaddy..also a little bit of Muse I suppose. As for lyrics, this song is basically about having your heart broken by being cheated on..It’s as simple as that really.”
Starfire – “Ain’t Nothin’ But Lies”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “The song is about a relationship that ends because one of the parties always lies, even after it is over. It is an uptempo pop rock song with a full rock band and a horn section.”
Paint In The Dark – “You Can Feel It”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “You can feel It screams like some long-lost track in the annals of early acid-rock history and then slides in to a 80’s pop-rock chunk that would make Joan Jett want to bop her head. This is first release from the second album of 2022 ‘The Painted Flame'”
Mondoshewan – “Can’t Fight The Light”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “The single is about no matter how much negativity and despare seems to be out there in the world there is always the Light. Which to me is a positive way of living and thinking. So the light is hope and love and you can’t fight those things.”
Indri Indigo – “I Hope You Regret It”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “Indie rock song that’s meant to be pretty vibey and vintage sounding. Almost like if Frank Sinatra was the singer of The Strokes. Breakup song.”
Casablanca – “I Wish I Was Born Straight”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “‘This song is not a homophobic manifesto or a rant about the fact that being gay isn’t right. I’m out and proud. Instead, it’s about realising that there’s little to no room for monogamy in the gay community. It’s about that desperate and provocative thought that many gay men, like me, have had once in their life: ‘I Wish I Was Born Straight’. As gay men, are we creating a new restrictive format that must apply to everyone? This song is all about questions and opening a dialogue.’
