April Art – “Karma Is A Beach”
Country: Germany
Genre: Alt Metal
Words From the Artist/PR: “A high-energy mix of pounding riffs, driving grooves, and electrifying melodies, “Karma Is A Beach” is the perfect anthem for anyone who believes in the unstoppable force of karma – or doesn’t. No moral preaching here, just a rebellious smirk, a good dose of irony, and a reminder: “What goes around, comes around.” Karma is watching, waiting – and it strikes when you least expect it.”

The Altered Hours – “Lay There With You”
Country: Ireland
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Set in the atmospheric expanse of Cork’s Lee Valley, “Lay There With You” is a cinematic, slow-burning duet layered with jangling guitars, Hammond organ swells, and hypnotic rhythm, all unfolding into a stormy chorus that aches with yearning: “All I can do is lay there with you, hoping this rain it will ease.” The track builds to reveal a descending and defiant riff charged with rock and roll emotion.”

Sleuth Gang – “Safe Bet”
Country: UK
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “the song captures the painful reality of bending & reshaping yourself just to feel accepted & so becoming whoever the other person wants you to be, in a futile attempt to hold onto something that’s already broken. The idea of me being seen as easy prey, or a ‘Safe Bet’ by the offending party leaves me vulnerable to their abusive behaviour & I end up giving away my power… not good!”.

Taleen Khali – “Aepex”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “There’s a point after which you can’t keep driving up against the current anymore,” says Taleen. “You just want to pierce through it. I grew up in L.A. It’s my home. I love being in DIY community here. And yet sometimes being in the music scene during these dark political times can feel so daunting. Capitalism makes artists compete, turning us into content machines churning ourselves to a pulp. That’s where I got the idea for ‘Aepex.’ I don’t just want to keep pushing upward into oblivion. ‘Aepex’ is the pinnacle of pleasure. A crest. A threshold. It’s about how meaningless the chase can be and finding other ways to forge meaning, finding transcendence amidst chaos and madness. All of these elements started driving me toward a darker direction, both during the songwriting process and in the studio when we were redefining our sound.”

Scorie – “The Leash & The Fury”
Country: France
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “A rolling bass-and-drum that sets a deep groove, haunting synths, a deep voice begging to be mistreated — all driven by melodies that won’t let you go: “The Leash and The Fury” lays down the foundations of Scorie’s aesthetic.”

The Editrix – “The Big E”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “On The Big E’s title-track opener, Eisenberg ruminates on aging in music scenes and their ambivalence about changing sounds with the coming generations Galloping fretwork and a stuttering interplay between bass and drums cultivates an air of sonic neurosis that disintegrates into and out of mathy noodling. It’s a jittery introduction to a record that is as uneasy as it is energizing.”

AOEC – “Drive”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “This song has had a long journey. It is our fifth release. This song explores the themes of breaking away, having the courage to stand up for personal needs and sense of adventure. This song is truly about being in the moment and embracing the true nature of the self wild and unapologetically free.”

HAWKER – “Sleeper Agent”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “‘Sleeper Agent’. It’s a creepy mix of deep bass, driving drums, eerie feedback guitar and vocals that seem to come out of no where and punch you in the face, all the while being hooky AF.”
—
Glass Mansions – “VIOLET”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “The initial inspo for this song was an early season episode of Black Mirror — which led me to think about how we are so transfixed in making our personal lives out to be brands ready to be sold on social media. Every post, story, reel is so carefully curated, and we’re ALL guilty of it and the doomscrolling lifestyle that follows it. But who is it for? Why do we do it? What are we hoping to find at the end of a doomscroll? “VIOLET” is the static void, the abysmal collection of everything we post, throw, scream into the unknown. What does it look like if we merge ourselves completely with it? If instead of breaking free and looking up, we choose to hypnotically surrender to walking straight into the VIOLET as a form of digital baptism? “VIOLET” is a lyrically tongue-in-cheek, dark alt-pop track about going mad from the fake joy of a digital brainwash. It was an honor to work with ATX producer Taylor Webb again to nail the chaotic synthy textures and cinematic feel this track so desperately deserved. “

Joseph Ozment – “ATMPIN”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “ATMPIN” is about reckoning with life in your late 20s; what you THOUGHT it would be like versus how it’s actually turned out. It’s about all the daily tasks of emptying the bins, walking the dog, feeling like your life has changed and maybe started slipping away, becoming all about money and chores and the stuff of “adulthood.”
