Night Swims – “Neverless”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

the eight five two – “Shiver”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Debut single from The eight five two, ‘Shiver’ is about the disconnect of not being able to let go. A haunting past left behind that you can’t help but want more of. It’s the river flowing inside your mind, blocking out all other thoughts. With no hope of swimming against it, you’re left with a memory, a shiver, a sweet but violent current that runs down the back of your neck into your heart.” 


juice – “Drive”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “This song was inspired by countless times where I would pick up the girl I’m seeing and we would drive around and listen to music. I come from a strong punk background which is obvious in the song, but I think the chorus was partially Deftones inspired.”


Pink Noise Generator – “Promise To Myself”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “A swirly garage rock riff starts the fire. This rock anthem documents the internal struggles of making and breaking promises to ourselves. The perfect song to ignite a change. Written, performed and produced by Pink Noise Generator. Australian alternative rock.”


Amos Waits – “Endangered”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist:  “Endangered is meant to be a message of fragility. Representing the state of the world, our place in it, our relationships to each other and to the planet. We shot a music video shot in Joshua Tree, California where every day life is magical but fragile and in a fine balance between survival and endangerment. The songs layered analogue textures are all comprised of vintage synths, my grandmas piano, a found vintage (real) 808 drum machine, all recorded at home at our professional home studio and mixed by Josh Korody (Breeze) AWAL will distribute the song.”


Talk Show – “Cold House”

Country: UK

Genre: Post-Punk

From the Artist: “It’s a raucous track with an irresistible, dance-heavy beat inspired by The Rapture’s “House of Jealous Lovers.” Its accompanying video provides a perfect taste of what’s to come from the EP; equal parts industrial and dance floor ready, with a relentless energy that’s impossible to resist.” 


Tasks – “Second Guess”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “”Second Guess”, the new single from Tasks, conveys the cliche of an artist struggling to follow strong creative impulses while being endlessly thwarted by indecision and doubt.”


Ellery Daines – “The Concert”

Country: New Zealand

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “A dirty, melodic rock song about the way other industries co-opt music and art to ingratiate themselves with people.”


Dutch Wine – “Sustainable”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Taken from the new double A-side release Sustainable / New Jersey Sound, by Glasgow alt-rockers Dutch Wine. Showcasing a fast-paced and explosive sound combined with polished pop melodies, the band draw inspiration from icons such as Nirvana, The Cribs and Pixies on this new release. Returning to a remote studio in the North of Scotland where they recorded their debut EP, the band fed off their powerful live performance to capture the same energy in a recorded setting.” 


Dennis Ellsworth – “Come Back To Me” (feat. Rose Cousins)

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer Songwriter

From the Artist: “This ‘lost love’ song was written in Toronto, by Ari Rhodes, Liam Titcomb, and me,” said Dennis Ellsworth (he/him). “The demo sat in a folder for about 6 years, but I knew there was something special to it. Every few months I would check back in on it, and its charm never really faded. In January 2022, I reached out to Adam Gallant at The Hill Sound in Charlottetown and asked him if he’d be interested in recreating this track with me, hoping we could turn it into a single.”


The Tortoise The Hare and the Millionaire – “At The Crossroads”

Country: Canada

Genre: Folk Rock

From the Artist: “Who’s to say what’s right or wrong about the choices we make in life,” said The Tortoise The Hare and The Millionaire’s Matt Carr. “When we come to a crossroads, we choose the path that’s good for us and reflects who we are at that time. This song is about knowing we’re making the right choices in the moment, and realizing we don’t have to agree with someone else’s path, because that’s what works for them.”


The Kids Born Wrong – “Mermaid Blues”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

From the Artist: “We love punk and we love the blues. Tried to jam them together and write about mermaid heartbreak”


Luke Klifman – “Rota Fortunae”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

From the Artist: “At first glance the track appears as a familiar folk rock sound. By the chorus, though, it’s clearly a fresh take. Rota Fortunae is the wheel of fortune, i.e. fate, and the lyrics contemplate this phenomena, begging the question whether anything is actually random, or rather a culmination of inflection points—little decisions, meaningless on their own but impactful in sum. All musical parts combine to create an enchanted summer sound, transporting the listener to Midwestern summer nights—a place they’ll recognize and relish regardless of whether they’ve ever been. Co-produced by Luke Klifman and Andy Reed (of The Verve Pipe)” 


Autonomica – “She’s Got Your Name”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Autonomica is a four piece alt punk band formed in the heart of Los Angeles, California in 2021 by Filip Ilic (guitar) and Jeremy Long (drums). Shortly thereafter, Jack Heldt (bass) and Maria Schneider (vocals) joined the group, respectively. During the most unprecedented epidemic of our country, these four musicians united as a team with only one goal: rock as many socks off as possible! As a band, Autonomica strives to include both the familiar roots of punk music with a new modern twist, thus combining the familiar with the unique to make one incredible sound.”


Big Orange – “Mum Says I’m Okay”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “New single ‘Mum Says I’m Okay’ fires up with an all-out alt-rock guitar riff, quickly joined by resounding drums as Daniel Davis’ vocals give off that 90’s alt-rock tinge. Seeped in a passionate optimism for wanting the best out of life, the distinctively Big Orange chorus arrives in all of its hook-filled glory, bringing a rousing rock flavour to wonderfully relatable lyrics.”
