Cat and the Underdogs – “Fast Tracker”

Country: Sweden

Child Seat – “If This Is The End”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “”If This is the End” touches on the negative effects the Pandemic began to have on love and relationships. Day-to-day life became a bit too redundant and conversations sometimes became stale and repetitive – only talking about the weather forecast for the day instead of interesting or exciting things ahead. This soon turned into a toxic pattern of romanticizing a life before the Pandemic, when everything felt a bit more exciting and a new type of nostalgia for pre-2020 started to set in. It also can make you put past memories on a pedestal instead of being content in the present.” 


Henry Ryeder – “Love Ain’t No Open Door”

Scentless Apprentice – “Eight”

Country: Canada
