Friendship Commanders – “Vampire”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: “There was a season at the end of my time in Boston where I was being turned into The Problem by someone who wanted to control me and couldn’t; it was a moment where I could have played small and gone along with what she wanted, as I had once done. But I didn’t. I played big. I kept what was mine instead of giving it away—which included parts of my identity. And while the result was a scorched earth reality that impacts my sense of self to this day, it also ended the whole thing. I learned a valuable lesson in that season: don’t fuel the narcissists. Keep your power for yourself. It’s what they hate. And if they’re going to drag your character out in front of everyone you know, you might as well burn it all down for the warmth.”

January Sixteen – “End of the Line”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “A song about years of Tory government. Scandal, decimation of public services, foodbanks and creating a feeling of hopelessness for so many. But things can change.”

You Citizen – “I Want Details”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This song is about getting everything you want only to realize that you were better off with everything you had.”

Age of Iguana – “Somethin’ About You”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From PR: Age of Iguana’s first full length release, Creature Comforts is a neo psychedelic/alternative rock album. Opening with the guitar driven song, Somethin’ about you, to the slow authentic heartfelt ballad, Small talk. Finally ending with the experimental synth folk trip Little Creatures. Layered with guitar, which frames this records point of view. The album is steady and sure of itself as it leans on its love of Influences such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Bowie, Oasis and Spencer P. Jones without being derivate.

Matthew Presidente – “Sungold”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From PR: Sungold evokes suburban summers, big teenage dreams and crossroads in life . It’s inspired by the music I grew up listening to in the 90s – not the alt rock, grunge or metal but the the full layered vocal choruses of Counting Crows and Soul Asylum, the melodic piano melodies of Fleetwood Mac, and the intricate dramas of the Smashing Pumpkins. It’s a reminder to reach out for help and remember where you came from as you focus you on where you need to go.

Radio Aftermath – “Fetid”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: The production of “Fetid” is masterfully crafted by friend of the band Tom Wallwork of fellow Leeds band When They Riot, who has managed to expertly capture the essence of Radio Aftermath’s raw energy and emotional depth. From the opening chords to the climactic crescendo, the sonic landscape immerses you in a journey that mirrors the tumultuous emotions of letting go. “Fetid” is a testament to Radio Aftermath’s artistic growth and their ability to create music that resonates with authenticity and passion. This single also marks a pivotal moment for the band, the lead single from their upcoming second EP and first release since signing with SODEH Records.

Garret Neiles – “Gasoline” (Acoustic)

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist: Straight out of 2000’s, this track is a collage of the Pop Rock bands that dominated the scene at the start of the millennium. It’s a little bit Foo Fighters, a little bit Fall Out Boy.

Wayford West – “Dunkirk”

Country: Germany

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: France, 1940. A million little ships set off to sea from England to save 400,000 soldiers, trapped in Dunkirk. The song tells the story of a young man trying to survive in the midst of a nightmare that has come alive… “Dunkirk” is the fourth single to be released out of the “Devil At The Crossroads”-sessions, which took place in the west of Germany in May/June 2022.

Caroline Phillips – “Comfort Zone”

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist: “Comfort Zone is one of my favourite tracks I’ve ever created. The production influences for this song came from the 2000’s pop rock scene, with vocals/lyricism similar to Demi Lovato, Paramore and Avril Lavigne. Infused with modern pop punk elements, a happy overall tone and fun tongue in cheek lyrics, this song is guaranteed to get stuck in your head!”

Noah Hines – “Toxic Wave”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Toxic Wave is an accessible rock/punk song featuring a catchy chorus and dramatic instrumental sections! Similar artists include Weezer, The Killers, and Modest Mouse.
