Goodnight House – “Affirmations”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Affirmations, the latest single from Portland, Oregon’s Goodnight House, is patient but brimming with intensity. It is sung from the perspective of someone comforting another through an unspecified mental health episode, perhaps a panic attack, maybe a trauma response. Affirmations is a reminder to recenter when the darkness of the world starts to overwhelm. This lyrical theme exists over a backdrop of shoegazey, feedbacking guitars that bring to mind bands like HUM.”

River Below – “Insomniac”
Country: Finland
Genre: Alt Metal
Words From the Artist/PR: “River Below returns with their explosive new single, “INSOMNIAC”, which blends early 2000s nu-metal grit and Deftones-inspired vocals into a high-energy package. Delivering their strongest performance and production to date, the track hits hard from the first note and never takes its foot off the gas. Lyrically, the song uses the unsettling experience of sleep paralysis to show how inner fears and insecurities cause chaos within.”

Hatin Blonde – “Stupid Jerk”
Country: Germany
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “”Stupid Jerk” is a witty, hip-hop/rock-blending track with talky verses, punchy guitars, and confident vocal delivery. It’s the sound of looking back at a toxic relationship with humor and clarity. If the Beastie Boys and The Bangles had a child, it might sound like this. Smart, catchy, and made for anyone who’s ever said “I’m done!” – and meant it.”

Midnight Crawl – “The Stray”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “The Stray is a punk song about punk. How transgression is sacred. How being bad and weird and unexpected and uncomfortable is a way forward. It’s hopeful and therapeutic. Kind of like prayer, only more punk.”

Malibu Blackout – “Backseat Driver”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: ““Backseat Driver” explores the poppier, 00’s indie rock side of the band’s stylistic spectrum with reverb washed guitars, big vocals, and dancey rhythms. The new single takes this brand of indie rock and pairs it with lyrics that reflect on dealing with illness and not wanting to be a burden while trying to cherish each day. This track highlights the versatility of the band coming off their last two singles “Racing in the Dark” & “The Rack”, both of which explored more of their desert rock / psychedelic side.”

Mary Middlefield – “Summer Affair”
Country: Switzerland
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: ““Summer Affair is a celebration of freedom in its rawest, most joyful form. I wanted to capture the feeling of being unapologetically alive; dancing without restraint, laughing too loud, changing your mind just because you can. It’s about giving yourself permission to feel everything – to be messy, expressive, soft, raw, and real. To share that energy with the people you love. In a world that often feels constricted and pre-scripted, this song is my way of breaking the rules, reclaiming spontaneity, and turning it into something beautiful and fun.”

ARK IDENTITY – “Still In Love”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Pop
Words From the Artist/PR: “The song itself takes you on a journey, blending dream pop textures with indie sensibilities, hints of alt-R&B, culminating in a psychedelic finale. The song pulls listeners into a dreamy, otherworldly space where the past and present blur. “This song came from that weird space between holding on and letting go,” says Noah Mroueh, the artist behind ARK IDENTITY. “It’s about still being in love with someone who’s already moved on—feeling pulled back into their orbit even though you know it’s not good for you.”

Honey Daze – “Paste”
Country: US
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From the Artist/PR: “This is Honey Daze’s first release with vocalist Sean Dowling, the band member that had been its missing link. Dowling’s dynamically expressive vocals and viscerally emotive lyrics perfectly complements the group’s inventive and fearless musicality. Honey Daze counts as influences Glassjaw, Quicksand, Deftones, Alice in Chains, Madball, and Smashing Pumpkins, among others. “We love the quiet/loud thing that the Pixies and Nirvana did, but I also love to use effects and noise to make the sound blurry and obscure. Then we like to hit back with a heavy riff,” says guitarist Mathew McGinnis. Adds Dowling: “It’s about the peaks and valleys. I try to incorporate that with the vocals and lyrics, knowing when to sing and when to scream.””
