Nik Fields – “Liebling”
Country: Germany
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “The german word “Liebling” is an old-fashioned term of endearment. I spent a lot of time at my best friend’s house growing up, where I silently witnessed his parents relationship falling apart and his dad slowly descending into a state of paranoia and insanity, all the while continuing to address his wife as his “Liebling”. The song is an attempt to capture the bittersweet memories of a man who once seemed to have it all.”

Mayflower Madame – “Drown (again)”
Country: Norway
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From PR: “Combining sweeping, reverb-drenched guitars, symphonic synths and a driving, forceful rhythm section, you might describe ‘Drown (again)’ as post-punk-ish shoegaze or dream-pop-ish psychedelia, but labels aside, it’s a song about struggling to reconcile desire and lust with love and trust.” ‘Drown (again)’ is a single from the new Deluxe Version of our album “Prepared for a Nightmare”. The deluxe version contains 5 new songs (including ‘Drown (again)’) and was released June 12th 2023 (the original version of the album was released in 2020).

Bats of Paradise – “Head Like A Hornet’s Nest”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From PR: Toronto’s Bats of Paradise channel the drive of 90s guitar rock and the catharsis of shoegaze on their debut single Head Like A Hornet’s Nest. With crashing guitars and heartfelt, lofty vocals, they say goodbye and good luck to those they’ve loved and let go of. It’s a bittersweet but optimistic reflection on the sting of separation and the joy of growth, and we thank fans of indie rock, 90s alternative music, and shoegaze/dream pop will enjoy it.

Yvet Garden – “When The Angel Fall”
Country: France
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “After our epic trip to the UK at the end of 2019, some members took a step back from the band and the global pandemic followed, which was mentally quite difficult on a personal level for all of us. This song is the 1st composition Flo has come up with since then, and I was keen to express what I was feeling at the time. Depression is a subject I take very seriously, as it’s often invisible to others and can cause a lot of damage. Rest assured, I’m fine! But not everyone is, so don’t hesitate to speak out. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.”

TwoMinutesHate – “Tolmin”
Country: Norway
Genre: Skate Punk
Words From PR: Have you ever been travelling home and feeling like you were moving in the wrong direction? As if every cab, train and plane just took you farther away from where you belonged? That is the foundation for the newest single from Oslo pop punk outfit TwoMinutesHate, Leaving Tolmin. The lyrics were partially conceived by lead singer Sama while homebound after a particularly emotional week at legendary punk festival Punk Rock Holiday in Tolmin, Slovenia. With riffs high-fiving pop punk greats such as Blink-182, call-and-response vocals between Sama and Helene, and catchy sing-along parts that will transport you straight back to the festival campsite, Leaving Tolmin is like four minutes of your greatest summer in the form of a song.

Hello Sister – “Things You Never Said”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Things you never said brushes on the harsh truth of toxic friendships. It can be so hard when the ones u love so much are the same ones who end up stabbing you in the back. Writing this song was definitely a journey, with the first step being acceptance and denial. Was I just seeing things, or was my friend actually intentionally doing these things to hurt me? The second stage: why? What have I done wrong to ever be treated this way? And by someone I care about? And then stage 3: plan of action, do I speak up? (something I never ended up doing… which is why we have a song about it, LOL). I was completely aware of what she was doing to me, but at the same time, I just couldn’t picture myself ruining a friendship that mattered sm to me. Plus, it was hard to stand up to her, because what could even be said? I had no proof, because everyone around me wasn’t seeing this same version of her. I guess all I could come up with was “I know all the things you never said””

Midwestern Dirt – “The Aaron Waters Show”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: Locked away in my home studio during a bout of covid, the track was born out of a New Order style guitar riff and eventually evolved into its final form: a slow burning, jangly, slightly psychedelic, indie-rocker with lyrics sporting nostalgia-colored glasses. The initial demo I created on my own was much more post-punk sounding than what you hear on the record. After the rest of the band got a hold of the track it fell into place somewhere between The National and Fontaines DC if either were more into psych-rock. The track’s pun of a title takes its inspiration from the annual Air & Water Show occurring every summer in Chicago. The Air & Water show honestly always unsettles me. A few days beforehand the pilots begin practicing and boom overhead throughout the city, making me think “are we under attack or something?!” until I remember, “oh, the air and water show is this weekend, we’re ok, for now.” – Patrick Kapp
