New Wales – “Give ‘Em What They Want”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “90’s loving indie rock duo New Wales are David Pankratz & Sandy Taronno, two best friends who grew up playing in some of Winnipeg’s finest underground pop groups. ‘Give ‘Em What They Want’ is the first release from their upcoming LP – an anthemic and personal romp with a chorus that explodes from the speakers. For those who like their indie rock to be big and hooky and just a bit unexpected, let New Wales give you what you want.”


Zebra Libra – “Living As I Go”

Country: Portugal

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “A mesh of pop-punk and alternative rock, with a little blend of an 80s sound, “LIVING AS I GO” is an energetic and upbeat song that delves on the challenges of facing your day-to-day problems. Written initially on an acoustic guitar, it was then arranged by the band as a whole with influences such as blink-182, The Killers and modern pop music, to match the image that Zebra Libra presents: a young, jovial and rebellious vibe.” 


FET 47 – “Ready To Go”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Ready To Go by FET 47 is a fast paced sexy-indie-rock classic that takes inspiration from multiple genres. With references to QOTSA rock, Killers anthems, REM’s charm, Joy Division’s swagger, and a Flea inspired bass solo, Ready To Go will get you in the mood for whatever action you need! The lyrics reflect on the pivotal moments in our lives – do you fight or flight, leap off the cliff, take a chance on something life changing – are you Ready to Go? RTG was recorded at Abbey Rd Studios in 2021 by the band themselves, who are all experienced music producers, and mixed by Grammy Winner Simon Gogerly (U2, No Doubt, Underworld).”


1/4 Chubz – “Who’s Next”

Country: UK

Genre: Punk

From the Artist: “Re-mastered and re-released for the third anniversary of Callum’s sudden death. Callum was our frontman but most importantly our brother. This was a song first recorded in 2013 by the original line up of the 1/4 Chubz. This is a song that instantly worked. One final rehearsal before our first ever gig at The Clubhouse in Dalgety Bay, supporting The Wingnuts, Callum came to rehearsal with this fully formed blast of indie punk perfection. It was a time when we were taking on the world together. It’s a song that encapsulates the time and a song that was never given a release on streaming services like it deserves.”


Norwind – “Silver Screen”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “The third track from the brand new “Nomad EP”, “Silver Screen” outlines my thoughts and experiences while walking the streets of downtown Los Angeles.”


Don’t Tell Mum – “Be The Animal”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Be The Animal is inspired by the ruthless attitude required to survive in today’s music industry. The juxtaposition of how it can be your best friend and your enemy simultaneously. Also applicable to everyday life in the sense of being ruthless in your desire for happiness and a life worth living. Driven through distorted guitars, punching bass, beefy drums, and a raw vocal, it has all the makings of a modern punk tune. It is the third single off the upcoming EP ‘Running Riot’.


Fire By Night – “Menagerie”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: ““Menagerie” was written by guitarist Skippy to reflect the negative experience of conformity that he faced head-on in his first corporate job. The band shares, “Saying, ‘I am Menagerie’ as opposed to ‘I am in a menagerie’ or ‘part of a menagerie’ became a way for Skippy to give his inner madness a name, personify it, and is what he considers his monster name.”


Jesse Rivest – “Nostargic”

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer-Songwriter

From the Artist: “With his new single “Nostargic,” he draws a parallel, allured by the idea that perhaps memories are like starlight, still reaching us long after their sources have burned out. A dose of nostalgia can stone us as much as a starry sky; both are intoxicating encounters with something that once was.”


Lexi Noise – “Must Be Nice”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “The band met in North Carolina at Elon University, this 4 piece spent most of their time partying and playing music. Named after a friend of lead singer Q, Lexi Noise was formed in late 2020. They have since played numerous concerts in the South East United States. The newest single is “Must Be Nice” an wonderful catchy yet crunchy tune.”


T. Buckley – “My First Guitar”

Country: Canada

Genre: Americana

From the Artist: “T. Buckley’s “My First Guitar” is a roots-rock Americana hit that channels his inner teenager’s lust for life, love and, well, rocking out!” 


Tree Museum – “Hardly There”

Country: Canada

Genre: Rock

From the Artist: “Following a long 2 years of lockdown in the heart of Canada’s biggest city – Tree Museum is back with a selection of new music. The band is currently releasing singles in preparation for a full-length LP.” 


Making Days – “Violent Jazz”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “this song is riffy and groovy throughout, a certified head bopper” 


Cult of RUINS – “Last Day of the World”

Country: France

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Our new project “cult of RUINS” was made as a rock duet from france and italy and we sometimes invite some guests for a featuring (as we did in this song) Sometimes instrumental, sometimes, experimental, sometimes as an homage to some good old stuff as pixies, pj harvey but most of the time our own stuff”


Dirty Bynum – “Tuesday Nights”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “This song is meant to embrace the idea of associating hyperrealist events with seemingly mundane things. In the case of this song we looked back on our life and decided Tuesday Nights have contained a significant amount chaos energy and decided to build it into our own special event.” 


State of the Secretary – “Astray”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “The single, Astray, is an electro-pop surprise that cleverly uses the impressionistic qualities of beats and atmospherics as an artful offset to emotionally direct storytelling. The song is set in the pain and confusion of summer of 2020, and it’s one of the album’s most honest moments. Isaac says: “Back then, I remember hearing so many people justify their opinions through the lens of what ‘God felt.’ I’m a big believer in trusting in God, and, many times, it is hard to see His will through and through. We are all human, and humans are incredibly flawed. He continues: “This song really centered around people using their self-righteousness as a crutch, and shifting blame when the responsibility rests on all of us.”
