Austin Mulka – “Peace”

Country: US

Genre: Grunge

From the Artist: “Austin Mulka announced the release of his latest single ‘Peace’. The release is preview of the artists upcoming album: ‘PariNirvana’, an album inspired by Kurt Cobain.”


Lissy Taylor – “She’s A Stunner”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist:  ‘She’s A Stunner’ delivers the ultimate summer anthem. Opulent guitar lead harmonies crash against rhythmic drumbeats, whilst Lissy’s effortless smoky vocal meanders through the track in ways that feel both empowering, and flirty. Lissy said about the single “When I wrote She’s A Stunner I wanted to write a big empowering track about strong women. I purposefully didn’t focus on any distinctive features because I wanted everyone to feel the main character’s energy. I wanted to vibe that strong powerful women are sexy; I’m bored with the damsel in distress narrative it’s overdone.“ 


Wolf Run – “When The World’s Asleep I’m All Alone”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist:  “When The World’s Asleep I’m All Alone is about insomnia-induced mental fog and trying to work through the negative effects. The song is intentionally jumps around between themes, such as feeling alive in a haze, feeling lost, and internal monologue about life’s direction. It’s also a little different in stuff that I’ve written previously in which the lyrics are fairly melancholy, but the vibe of the instrumental is a little more upbeat and positive.”


The Slime – “Forest Walker”

Country: Canada

Genre: Punk

From the Artist: “This is a track from our recent EP Living on Borrowed Slime which came out at the end of May on Cursed Blessings Records. It’s Toronto thrash with an old school hardcore sensibility. It’s about ritual abominations and other witchy shit.”


Ghost Heart – “Scene Queen Prom Queen”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

From the Artist: “For over 20 years Ghost Heart has been writing and producing music under various names. The latest releases put an emphasis on modern punk vocals with themes of social issues and cultural deterioration caused by the isolation of covid. Ghost Heart worked as an RN in hospitals for the past 7 years and after suffering severe burnout returned to the punk rock scene a seasoned veteran, writing and releasing songs under the current alias – Ghost Heart ” 


Knightingale – “Big Wave”

Country: Singapore

Genre: Garage Rock

From the Artist: “Big Wave is the latest single from Singapore-based punk band Knightingale, and the title track from their forthcoming EP. Inspired by influences like Nirvana and Motorhead, as well as fellow Singaporean indie rockers like Sobs and Subsonic Eye, Knightingale have crafted an infectious sound that is simultaneously fresh and timeless. The band signed with US-based indie label Pitch & Prose in January; the label will be helping their new releases reach new ears in the United States and beyond!” 


roman around – “Rhythm”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

From the Artist: “”Rhythm” is a story of the tragic loss of my animal friend, Rhythm. Rhythm was my pup who I had for a couple of months. He had a disability that made him walk funny and emotionally extreme. He passed away in my arms suddenly and tragically. Rhythm was not the first animal I watched pass, so this song is a memorial to all my animal friends. Our pets feel like family. Our pet relationships and the way we cherish them should be celebrated.” 


Rebounder – “Boy Friday”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist: “Entitled “Boy Friday”, the song is from their forthcoming self-produced project and is an introspective narrative exploring the passing of time and the ebb and flow of changes that shape our lives. “On this one we were really interested in the idea of feeling excited and optimistic about the future, while simultaneously noticing, recognizing the passage of time more and the natural pressure it puts on you to try harder to get where you wanna go,” Noah of the band further confides. Featuring breezy synths, intoxicatingly lush melodies and funk-drenched basslines, “Boy Friday” is a dreamy indie rock escape with a French inspired touch.”


A Case of Mistaken Identity – “Again And”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

From the Artist: “A dance-punkish speed freakout regarding the mental instability of living in a city.” 


The Strangerz – “Shut Up!”

Country: UK

Genre: Punk

From the Artist:  “Our second single is “Shut Up!” A song expressing anger at being spoken over by men who frankly don’t know what they are on about, the scream representing the internal groan all women do when someone starts mansplaining. Its explicit lyrics border on the comedic and ironic side of the misogyny the girls of the band have faced, while driving in that annoyed tone. It’s our heaviest and punkiest song yet, one that became popular when we started gigging in Manchester but one that was hated when we debuted it in our hometown- in fact the first time we played it the promoter told Martha to never scream like that again because it was “funny but not appropriate”. ” 


Ari Abdul – “Taste”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Pop

From the Artist: “”Taste” resides on a foundation built by a chugging bass line and Ari’s smoky vocals. Heavily reverbed guitars creates a wall of sound that adds a surreal quality to the chorus. “Taste” is a perfect example of modern pop-production and haunting shoegaze. This dreamy track hangs in the air like a humid night you don’t really want to end.” 


Blanker – “Your Club Is Whack And No One Likes You”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “A misanthrope enters a bar… Such is the subject matter of this track from Blanker’s newly released fourth album, Cars on Fire, which was written, performed, and produced entirely by John Norwood (ex-Upstate Escape) from his apartment in Brooklyn. It’s a little bit heavy and a little bit dance-y, sort of like if Gojira and Bloc Party had a baby…”


Spun Mellow – “POYL”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: ““POYL”, Pain Of Your Loving, is the next single off of my upcoming debut album, “Plasticity”. I wrote, produced and recorded POYL all together in the same night in my bedroom studio. It is an expression of where I was at the time of writing it, last August. I had been struggling to be confident with myself for some time following a breakup, one that influenced the album. Up until that moment I had been seeing this change in my life negatively. It was with this song that I started to believe in moving on. It brought me belief in who I was and faith in what was to come. My goal with this song is for anyone and everyone that listens to reach this same feeling and see the positives that bloom from something so negatively heart wrenching. The video shows as one love wilts, another grows, possibly into an even more beautiful one than before!”


Splitworms – “Nothing Is Under Control”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Part reflective tale concerned with growing trends in isolation and disconnection, part damning indictment on the growing trend of organisations trying to exacerbate and monetise that, and a defiant rebuke to the idea that any such travesty is a done deal in any way shape or form.”


zayd – “Lullaby”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “From the moment he picked up a guitar Zayd experienced the power music has to heal. Touched by suicide in his immediate circle and in his heroes Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, music became his battle cry. His aggressive sound rages against the pain of sexual assault, abuse, and depression and through it gives others catharsis. Showing the world, there’s another way to live.”
