Køster – “Numbrain”
Country: Canada
Genre: Garage Rock
Words From the Artist: With a catalog of hard-hitting songs that unflinchingly address everything from mental-health struggles to the day-to-day battles of life, the Toronto-based alt-rock veteran is living testament to the guts and determination needed to play — and win — in the modern music industry, while inspiring others to follow in his bootsteps and chase their dreams. “My music is about my experiences,” he says frankly. “The highs, the lows and everything in between. it’s about the tribulations in life that we all go through.

Propter Hawk – “Clean Old-Fashioned Hate”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist: An animated dance number inspired by the early days of American rock and roll and Motown, Clean Old-Fashioned Hate breaks tradition in the most Propter Hawk way with their cynical, anti-establishment lyrical narrative. The song cheekily points a finger in the seat of power’s general direction while imploring the have-nots to cavort with whatever energy they have left. “We had an idea for a song with kind of a 60’s dance hall vibe that we had been working on, but we wanted to do something a bit more relevant with it” recalls singer Malorie Blake. “Mal read somewhere about a college football rivalry between University of Georgia and Georgia Tech that they call ‘Clean Old-Fashioned Hate’,” guitarist Andrew Blake adds. “I loved the sound of it and it seemed like a great way to describe that despondent feeling that’s growing in our society as the gap between classes widens.”

Helen Kelter Skelter – “Sceptre”
Country: US

Sekond Skyn – “My Head”
Country: US
Genre: Grunge
Words From the Artist: Sekond Skyn creates a dynamic full sound and solidifies a behemoth stronghold that resonates. “My Head” undeniably relays their works and their forthcoming album release later this year. Sekond Skyn is a high-functioning beast that produces its well-known New Jersey sound. Get ready for a force to be reckoned with. “It’s like giving someone all you’ve got and they abandon you emotionally. They mentally intrude on you and get in your head. Changing you into someone else. The only place you’re free is in your dreams. They’re in your head and you can’t go on this way. They take you and break you down and build you back up in their own way.”
