Maya Ruth – “Oblivion”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““We fall asleep restlessly / Counting the years on our toes” Oblivion is Maya Ruth’s second single, a poem-turned-song fueled by absurdity as a question and an answer to the monotony of everyday life. Calling on Swirlies, Charly Bliss, PACKS, and Dinosaur Jr., Oblivion is your grunge girl song of the summer, with its fuzzed out guitars, sweetly ambient telephone vocals, and harmonic solos at war in the chorus. Maya’s sisters have been begging her to put it out for years.”

Normal Again – “Half Light”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is Normal Again’s debut single, Half Light, released in anticipation of their album Wrapped In Plastic. For this album, they’re exploring a theme of being stuck in old issues and reliving trauma – and this song is the perfect lead single for that message. They dove into all of your favorite alternative and emo inspirations from the 90s – Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies, and Sunny Day Real Estate to name a few – to create a track that lures you into nostalgia while still giving you something new to chew on.”

MAWK3 – “Thin Ice”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song was inspired by a man who pushed the envelope of his personal and business lives too hard for too long. It’s just a matter of time before it all comes crumbling down around him, the ice is getting thin and it’s about to crack.”

Avalon Stone – “Shaking Me Up”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Explore the raw energy of “Shaking Me Up,” crafted by Juno Award-winning producer Kevin Dietz. In this track, Avalon Stone captures the emotional weight of an abusive relationship, delivering it through a powerful alt-rock lens. Her debut single, the hard rock “Forget You” achieved impressive streaming success globally. “Shaking Me Up” extends that raw, emotional narrative, with passion and distortion”

Fluorescents – “Rewind”

Country: US

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A funky pop-punk jam to blast through your radio all summer long!”

Prîncess – “When It Rains”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is our very first single that captures the heartbreak of a soul. It doesn’t exactly describe a specific situation, and can be related to through multiple accounts. It features a soft intro with a rollercoaster of emotion.”

Common Crime – “Would U Send A Signal?”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Our final release for our forthcoming EP “Signals & Signs”. This song has strong emo and punk influence, trying to blend the two together. Pulling influence from bands like Basement and PUP, we hope to come out swinging with this easy-to-singalong-to track!”

Sylvia – “Found and Lost”

Country: Australia

Genre: Power Pop

Words From the Artist/PR: “A no nonsence fuzzy power pop banger. This one is about being heartbroken in Summer and propelled by a twee pop Sarah Records drum beat.”

Eric Sleeper – “Killer Eyes”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Rising grunge-rock artist Eric Sleeper has unveiled his new single “Killer Eyes.” Taking an early 2000s emo vibe with a tinge of the 90s, Sleeper lays out the willingness to engage in a toxic relationship and the inevitable destruction of one another, despite the repercussions. Alternating life in New York City and New Jersey, Eric Sleeper leads with his explosive grunge motif. “Killer Eyes” showcases Sleeper’s exceptional ability to merge energetic riffs, powerful vocals, and engaging lyrics, creating an anthemic sound that resonates with a wide audience.”


AntiSocial Surf Club – “Head In The Sand”

Country: Canada

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Head in the Sand is the first single off of our debut album, due to be released this fall. We channelled all of our 2000s-Pop-Punk-Tony-Hawk-Pro-Skater-NHL2K5 energy into this track.”

Bring on the Storm – “Trainwreck”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The video, shot and edited by Alan Bremner (Beartooth, Motionless in White, Calling All Captains) showcases the band rocking out in their natural habitat (aka their lush jam space) and deals with the never ending pursuit of perfection. “It’s about improving yourself in the face of doubt,” elaborates Kreuger. “Being true to yourself and understanding that we’re only human.””
