Hannah Robinson – “Blissfully Miles Away”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A tranquil soundscape, new single ‘Blissfully Miles Away’ serves an important purpose of embracing new beginnings and manifesting dreams into reality. With huge choruses, powerful basslines, and piercing vocals, this transcendent anthem showcases Hannah’s grittiest sound yet as she explores and evolves into new post-rock territories.”

Intimidators – “Don’t Look  At Me”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song is a hot take on small town people getting their nose in your business.”

Marc Mortimer – “Never Gonna Give It Up”

Country: UK

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Never Gonna Give It Up is a vibrant and cheeky rock anthem that tackles the irony of falling for someone who’s more into their next fix than into you. With infectious guitar riffs and an irresistible rhythm, this upbeat track blends humour with heartache, turning a tough situation into a toe-tapping, head-banging good time.”

Sweet Spine – “Lights Out”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Known for their electrifying sound and hard-hitting lyrics, this new release follows on from their latest single ‘time stands still’, a track that has gone on to receive wide-spread support and led to them being proclaimed one of the brightest new faces in the Shoegaze and Alt-Rock spaces. The Haunting, bold sound ‘Lights Out’ is built on demonstrates the bands commitment to pushing boundaries, and keenly delivering both grunge nostalgia and contemporary alt melodies.”

Davis Gestiehr – “High”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Featuring upbeat percussion and fuzzy guitars underpinned by Gestiehr’s gravelly vocals, “High” evokes an addictive and energetic feeling. The songwriter shares, “I’ve always been a fan of the relationship between cynical, depressing lyrics paired with an upbeat, optimistic soundscape. I grew up listening to bands like The Cure who are masters of that. To me, there has always been something so fascinating about pain being a semblance to driving drums and jangly guitars.””

First Umpire – “I’ll Wait”

Country: US

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is one track of a double sided single. Both songs reflect on darker memories while getting started in the music industry. Feelings of loss, resentment, and finally rebuilding trust with oneself.”

Headless Mary – “Park Place” (feat. Former Critics)

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Park place is a critique on capitalism and the growing desire and demand for instant gratification in all things and forms, including each other. It takes a look at how each of us on social media tries to package themselves neatly in a categorial box, to make ourselves more easily digestible to the general public. How apps like Venmo or Tinder promote a culture of “transactional relationships/friendships” Anything, anywhere, anytime, but never fully real. No wonder its name is coined by one of the most desired properties in the game monopoly.”

The Racquets – “Coral Reef”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “A riff-heavy and driven rock tune. The lead single for an upcoming album to be released in early 2025.”

Cosmic Room 99 – “Plastic Venus”

Country: Italy

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Everything is fiction, everything is altered, everything is seen through filters, nowadays even Venus is made out of Plastic”

Scared of Sharks – “Is Water Wet?”

Country: Australia

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Is Water Wet? Is a fun little punk number from scared of sharks that ponders one of life’s big mysteries… the 2nd single to be released from their upcoming debut EP Double Happiness out August 28.”
