Slightest Clue – “Cauterized”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Thematically it was inspired by [bassist/vocalist] Hannah [Kruse] and I’s mirrored experiences in closing of important relationships in our life and the processing of it,” says guitarist/vocalist Mac McLaren. “It contains fictional characters we wrote about as well as personal moments that process those feelings.” At the forefront sits “Cauterized,” a song that embodies the EP’s spirit of wrestling with pain and ultimately letting it burn through you. “‘Cauterized’ takes from the idea of burning a wound closed because that was how things felt in the end,” says Mac. “Severing connections leaves a scar that forms you for the rest of your life.”

Dan Gober – “Lucky Son of a Gun”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: ““Lucky Son of a Gun” is a heartfelt, roots-tinged anthem about leaving behind the weight of the past to chase something freer and truer. Blending elements of Americana, Rock n’ Roll, and blue-collar storytelling, the song paints vivid scenes of concrete stairwells, smoky memories, and sunlit escapes. It celebrates grit, sacrifice, and the quiet triumph of carving your own path—even when storms come. With raw, poetic lyrics and a driving sense of purpose, it’s a tribute to anyone who’s ever dared to trade comfort for conviction.”

Horsehell – “Turning Over”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “I wouldn’t say any of my songs necessarily have a meaning as much as they’re built around these feelings and experiences I have as an artist and human being. It was all about just watching myself struggle from the outside in and having a bit of a revelation about that change. Absorbing my failures, learning curves, and even beautiful realizations about what I carry on my back day to day. It was a huge turning point for me in my life and I’m really lucky to have been writing my way through it because I got this song out of it, and that’s been a really huge win for me.”

Rum Jungle – “It’s All On Your Mind”
Country: Australia
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “We all love this song and always knew it was the right track to properly ‘finish’ Recency Bias as the full 14-track vision,” says the band about ‘It’s All On Your Mind’. “It’s one that on the surface feels incredibly sad, but it’s supposed to be hopeful and contemplative… about wondering where life will end up, but knowing there are roads you need to take just to see where they lead.”

Rose Riots – “Mr. Blood”
Country: Columbia
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “This is a song that shows how, throughout history, different sinister characters have destroyed the lives of people, communities, towns, and countries. It’s a reminder that we must stand up and fight against those who want to crush us.”

WENCH! – “Be Tame”
Country: UK
Genre: Post-Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “Released on local youth label, Warren Records with Adam Pattrick producing, we give you Be Tame – a protest track about rejecting societal demands for constant restraint. It’s about slamming your foot down, shaving your head, being ‘difficult’, ‘unladylike’ & no longer wanting to pretend, while recognising the adversity many face when trying to embrace their truest self.”

HONK – “Vine-Glo”
Country: UK
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “Vine-glo was a dissolvable brick of grape juice concentrate sold in the US during prohibition. Sold with the tagline “legal in your home” the packet warned that the grapes may ferment into alcohol and provided instructions that explained very carefully how to prevent fermentation by also giving hints on exactly what was required to successfully ferment the grapes into wine. Because not all superhero’s wear capes.”

Mental Health Day – “Look Away”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “”Look Away” finishes the album with one last stab at those that prefer empty words without action, and who rarely show up when they’re actually needed. It’s about those who exist on pedestals and speak words that are instantly betrayed by the lives they actually live. Such as those in “Thoughts and Prayers” who use the words unironically during times of political strife while supporting conmen and zealot, or say them during a pandemic in which they also spread anti-vax and anti-science rhetoric. In short, they say the right things, but when you need them to actually show up, they look the other way.”

Chrome Rodeo – “Very Mid Summer”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “We have spent some time away from writing as we solidified our lineup. What started as a bedroom project with two of us, turned into a full band. Now there is creative input from everyone which gives our new music more diversity. As this is our first track with a full lineup, we made sure to put our entire heart into it, and work with our favorite mixers and masterers.”
