elison – “Covered Me”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: ““Covered Me” is about coming to the realization that, while in a relationship with a narcissist, you don’t really know the person you’re with. That person’s desire to be in the spotlight eclipses all else, even has you questioning yourself. The mysterious, fuzzy, guitar-driven track with meandering bass, forceful drums, and tension-building layers captures the unease of being in this kind of relationship.”


Multi Ultra – “Switch It Up”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Switch It Up is Multi Ultra’s fifth single injecting a shot of adrenaline into Nashville’s rock scene.”


Wicked Willow – “Crossin’ Rivers”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Taking a page from the books of late 1960’s and early 1970’s British classic rock, doom, and psychedelia, NYC power trio Wicked Willow steps confidently onto the scene with incredible in-studio footage of their latest fan favorite “Crossin’ Rivers”. Fast-paced and upbeat, “Crossin’ Rivers” carries strong poetic themes outlining a desperate search for that muse; that dream-lover who holds the power to inspire and uplift them on their journey forward in music. This relatable sense of longing described in the bands heart-on-sleeve story, pairs seamlessly with the intense riffs and powerful drum patterns inspired by hard rock and heavy metal. Artist Matt Glover soulfully belts captivating vocals alongside the skilled Phil Duke on bass and the expressive Elliot Kafton on drums.”


Silver Wolf Band – “Falling Asleep”

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer songwriter

From the Artist: “This song is the second single off Silver Wolf Band’s new album There’s No Time which will be released on June 2nd 2022. The album was produced by Newfoundland’s own Amelia Curran.”


Chappaqua Wrestling – “Full Round Wrestling”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist:  “Introducing itself with an ominous two-note bassline, ‘Full Round Table’ really blows up when it reaches its chorus. They’re the kind of band that routinely navigate quieter passages before exploding into life – but there’s a thoughtfulness to them alongside their power. This opening single, ‘Full Round Table’ for instance is all about the challenges facing young people across the world – debt, instability, housing issues – but it predominantly aims to shout down the naysayers who insist on telling them what they will never be able to achieve.”


Safeword – “Revisionist History”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “A coping mechanism I have, like a lot of people, is to convince myself I didn’t want the thing I failed to get, whether it’s a relationship, job, or what have you,” said Safeword’s Karen Foster (she/her). “It’s a kind of revisionist history where you edit your real feelings to pretend you never cared. I actually think it’s a fine coping mechanism, but it can still be uncomfortable to confront.”


Christopher Sutton – “Cold Fire”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “The second single from You Brought Me Back from the Dead (Selected Songs, 1998-2019), a new retrospective from the “Selected Songs series that shines a light on the ever-under-sung Portland, Oregon multi-instrumentalist Christopher Sutton. Known for his work as a touring member of the Gossip, The Dirtbombs, Chain & The Gang, and Spider & The Webs, he’s also a prolific songwriter and collaborator, making music across a wide array of genres and scenes. This volume collects work from his time in Hornet Leg, C.O.C.O, Dub Narcotic Sound System, Cool Flowers, The Sun Ships, Hooded Hags, Sutton, Triple Daisies, and The Boozles.”


Bad Heather – “Stay in LA”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Stay in LA” is about when sh**ty people try to crawl back into your life. I wrote the track after I had gotten a text message from someone I had moved on from. This person had made the goal of living in LA their whole personality, so I just assumed they had moved there. I wished they would’ve stayed there instead of trying to reinsert themself into my life. This song is a mix of everything I love about Hardcore Punk and Pop, but I also took inspiration on a shredded distorted sound from bands like Sleigh Bells and Crystal Castles. It’s also hard as f**k”


611 Shapeless – “Bluebird”

Country: Israel

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “611 Shapeless is an Israeli Neo-psychedelic Rock trio, which was formed in 2020 by veteran musicians who played together in previous bands on and off in the last 20 years”


SOURDOUGH – “Holocene Ending”

Country: UK

Genre: Punk

From the Artist: “Armed with art-punk artillery, SOURDOUGH’s latest noise assault is their most ambitious and mature creation to date. Singer-songwriter Jacob Kyte says, “The song is all about change, the end of something, and the start of something new. We wrote it during one of the many lockdowns, when there was this message of everyone being “in it together”, but in truth people, and certainly politicians, were still betraying one another as much as they always had. We were living in an almost post-apocalyptic world, yet attitudes remained as selfish and greedy as they ever were. Everyone is still at each other’s throats. Johnson and his cronies are still laughing at us – yet still getting the vote. It’s like foxes voting to lift the hunting ban.””


Midding – “Figure Head”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Cardiff-based five-piece Clwb Fuzz have changed their name to Midding – and ‘Figurehead’ is one half of their new double A-side single, their first release under the new moniker, out on May 27. It’s a ferocious slab of shadowy psych, somewhere between The Horrors and Savages which, according to singer and bassist Emily Kocan, is about “absolutely nothing”. “While writing it I was reading Welsh poetry in a manic state and decided to translate it into Greek then translate it into English,” she explains. “Nothing made sense, so I filled it out and this is what came about. It only really reflects my manic state hobbies.””


Tiny banshee – “Dead in a Ditch”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Dance-punk meets stoner rock with a little bit of surf and synth-pop sprinkled on top. Some call it “Scooby-doo core.” We like to call it analog synth-punk. “Dead in a Ditch” is the debut single from Atlanta-based project, Tiny Banshee. The song marks band lead, Marisa “Mar” Williams’s return to music following a long battle with covid-related health complications sustained in 2020. This tune is designed to be a solid bop, fun to play and even more fun to listen to. Plus, who doesn’t love a song about lousy people getting what’s coming to them?”


The Blue Doors – “Got One City”

Country: Canada

Genre: Rock

From the Artist:  “Got One City is The Blue Doors ode to the great cities we live in. When we try, when we give, when we work together and never stop searching for a better way to live, this is what makes a city great. It’s about heart and soul and everything that makes us whole.”


Enemy Airship – “Little Cable Boy”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “A short, explosive post-punk song about fear, tension, and othering in the face of artificial intelligence and emergent digital sentience. This is the third single from our upcoming record to be released later this year.”


asleepinplanes – “Someday I’m Gonna Be Someone” (feat. Justin Kace)

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “This song about the search for self identity marks the return of Orlando-based indie project, asleepinplanes. Someday I’m Going to Be Someone is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the unnecessary pressure we place on ourselves to be “someone,” as if we weren’t already, and the pursuit of flippant self discovery.” 


The Penthouse Plants – “Lightning Strikes Starlight”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Actually written and recorded in 1983, by Chicago club band The Penthouse Plants. Never released until now. I did a lot of work mixing it but it still sounds like it’s from the eighties with good sound quality.”
