Collective Fear – “Today”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Pure heavy shoegaze with catchy hooks that keep the listener tuned in. Lead single off of our new EP ‘Truly Free at Last?'”

NOASIS – “In The Shadow (Of Notre-Dame)”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “Notre-Dame is a song inspired by time spent in Europe and how we can allow things to grow, spiral out and up around us. How someone can be special to us, but shadow our own growth and aspiration because maybe we aren’t as aligned as we first thought”. Darren Spiby front man NOASIS.

Deadly Vices – “Notice Me”

Country: US

Genre: Grunge

Words From the Artist: What would a young Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, or Guns N’ Roses sound like in the 2020s? That’s the question members of Deadly Vices asked themselves when starting this project. Born out of a Seattle grunge tribute band, they turned to writing original material after the COVID-19 pandemic halted their live shows. While harkening back to the nostalgic musical stylings of 80’s hard rock and 90’s grunge, they also wanted their sound to translate to modern hard rock radio. That’s when they turned to venerable producer Kane Churko (Papa Roach, Disturbed, Bad Wolves). With Kane’s guidance and virtuosic production chops, the songs that came about were far beyond what any of them could have imagined.

Redrum Society – “Have Some”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: RedrumSociety’s latest single “Have Some” has the classic RedRum combination of charming melodies and suggestive lyrics. The production is stellar with popping bass lines, strings and synths, and the light charm of chimes, while Zach’s vocal abilities range from soft and reserved to upfront and bombastic throughout the song. One listen of the chorus will have you hooked, as the melody of the song carries the charm and upbeat nature throughout

Mickey Sunshine – “Rock God”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: Rock God is a tongue-in-cheek commentary about the sexism that is rampant in the music industry. In this song, vocalist Andrea Gonzales-Paul assumes the character of Rock God. Male Rock God behavior, as depicted in the lyrics of the song, has been encouraged, promoted, justified, and modeled at almost every turn. We love when our male Rock Gods act bad. When women in the music industry demonstrate Rock God actions, they’re vilified, called sluts and whores and labeled distasteful and not to be looked up to. What was your initial reaction to Rock God? Listen to Rock God again and think about what this reaction was rooted in.

The Areola Treat – “Into My Shadow”

Country: Malta

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: A solid glam-punk alternative anthem, inspired by artists like The New York Dolls, Bowie and The Spiders From Mars. A rock and roll mood, with distorted guitars, claps, solid running drums and female vocals inspired by The Saints’ front-man Chris Bailey. A song about a love affair turned sour in which the author regrets the union and feels overwhelmed, attempting to escape the clutches of her paranoid-obsessive and verbally-abusive lover.

Matt Hibbard – “Get Down”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: From the whaling of police sirens and low-tuned growling guitars complimented by a swinging, raunchy backbeat in ‘Get Down’, this song harkens the oppressive nature of western culture.

Noah and the Loners – “Protest Anger”

Country: UK

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist: Punk upstarts NOAH AND THE LONERS reveal their politically charged new song and video, ‘Protest Anger’. The band’s latest offering sees Noah shining a light on the rights to peaceful protest, freedom of speech and police brutality.

Sideways – “Said And Done”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist: Sideways is an up and coming Punk Band from Anchorage, Alaska. Very much influenced by pop punk of the 2000’s with the likes of Sum 41 and Green Day. This song features another artist who also produced the track playing a blistering solo on a guitar given to him by Billie Joe Armstrong.

8 Tries Later – “Guard Your Mind”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “In a world where we’re constantly bombarded by information, most of it the equivalent to digital junk food, Guard Your Mind is a much needed reminder to take time for yourself. At least it sure was for me.”
