Bosola – “Ophelia Headstrong”
Country: UK
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “Ophelia Headstrong is a lyrical exploration of the conflict experienced in chasing your dreams. Inspired by songwriter’s female friends and partner chasing their powerful dreams of academic success but facing misogyny and underhand criticism for being successful and strong-willed. Written from two perspectives, from one of envy and another of support, the song ends on a chorus of celebration of strong willed women.”
Killer Hearts – “High Temptress”
Country: US
Genre: Hard Rock
From the Artist: “This is an in your face leather clad 1970s hard rock and punk tune from Killer Hearts our of Houston, TX. As a follow up to their well received debut LP Skintight Electric High Temptress is coming out on a split 7″ with LJ & The Sleeze on 8 Ball Records.”
Nasty Party – “I Can’t Stand The Radio”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Written, played, recorded and mixed by the band themselves, the song was recorded in a bedroom in Inner West Sydney and is an ode to trying to breakout of the monotony of the daily 9 to 5 grind and find inspiration.”
FènixDion – “Mama Say”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “While watching Minneapolis eat itself alive I was very emotionally distraught and filled with so many questions and concerns of what the future of my city looked like. “Mama Say” consolidates the thoughts that were running through my head at the time, and the mindset I needed to adopt to get through it all. The song is an anthem of hope amidst the overwhelming and soul altering issues facing humanity.”
Young Ritual – “You”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “Young Ritual wants to be an icon, and he wants to leave no doubt. His newest release “You” is a song about the desperate desire to get out of complacency. We all get older, and we all learn the hard truth that things don’t always work out how we expected. Things change, people change, and it isn’t black and white. “You” is an energetic indie rock song that snarls, dreams, and hits you in the chest. It’s built to shake the rust, and roll the windows down. It’s a call out to that restless part of us, and it’s an invitation.”
No Temple – “Frontline”
Country: Canada
Genre: Rock
From the Artist: “Basically a war song. The first verse is from the perspective of a soldier. Headed into battle (over the top). He/she realizes that death is probably the most likely scenario (prepare yourself for Elysium), but is obedient (you call my name, I come running). Chorus is both obvious and ambiguous if that’s possible. Talking about how power corrupts and how desperate it can feel to try and find the truth of a situation. The second verse is a call out to how different the perspectives can be in regards to war, whether you are the one fighting or sending someone to fight. And how once you are the one fighting, sometimes the ideals that caused you to volunteer can unravel.”
Matt Zaddy – “A Dear Friend”
Country: Canada
Genre: Singer-songwriter
From the Artist: “I wrote this song thinking about my friends I don’t see as often as I used to. I have tunnel vision, and I find I sometimes forget to look up from what I’m working on. This song for me is both an affirmation and a reminder for me to make time for the people that I care about. In a pandemic world, this is even more important.”
The Mary Veils – “Esoteric Hex”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “The band and I moved to my old studio space in these historic mills from the 1600’s that the Swedes built. The idea for the album and name came to me while in this space. When I was younger my friend lived on Mill Street and there was an older woman who would collect animal bones and claimed to be a witch. She told us she put a hex on us for climbing in her tree. Since our music isn’t for everyone and we are forever cursed…or not, we named the song and album esoteric hex. This song came together to us on Mill Street in this space. It has a very hypnotic spell like vibe and it fit perfect.”
Frog Eyes – “I Was An Oligarch”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “The song comes from considering a very specific and rarified moment in my life. I was 19, 20, 21. I wasn’t playing much music, maybe a little drums. I didn’t care about music—I might have had ten tapes that I would listen to while painting, mostly recordings of Brave New Waves that I had taped to listen to in the day. Everyone else had music, they were always playing it. I did love to go to little concerts at the sports bar, in part to mess with the band, to tear them down from their 8” stage in the corner of the sports bar, to swill pitchers and disrupt their set and somehow, in my thinking, become one with them, to ascend like a little oligarch. Then I bought an Aria Pro II hollowbody guitar from my best friend’s uncle Denny and, regrettably, became one of them.”
Johnny Germ – “The Hunt”
Country: US
Genre: Garage Rock
From the Artist: “It’s an aggressive track written about a hangover that makes you rethink all your life decisions leading to that point. The type of hangover that makes you want to massacre anyone that gets in your path.”
Amacio Favor – “Alone”
Country: US
Genre: Rock
From the Artist: “modern hard rock boogie”
Polybius – “Freefalling”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “Recorded with Loïc Gaillard at Liverpool’s most iconic recording studio ‘The Motor Museum’, Polybius are looking to build on the successes of ‘Who Watches the Watchmen?’ with their second single ‘Freefalling’. A crowd favourite, the song possesses the bands best chorus to date. Written pre-pandemic, the song’s lyrics are still as poignant as ever. This song would be a perfect fit for any rock or alt-rock playlist.”
Kicking – “Flowers”
Country: US
Genre: Grunge
From the Artist: “Kicking is an alternative/grunge band based in Jackson Mississippi that has been classified as shoegaze, doom pop, doom gaze, Nu Gaze, and other assorted obscure genre hashtags. Whatever you call it, it’s guitar and effects driven music juxtaposed against lyrical and vocal stylings that fills a niche in the above-mentioned genres. The core of Kicking has been Bobbie Flanders on vocals, guitars from JD Burns and SG Shepherd, with Lacy Ellinwood on bass. Lexie Gay is the most recent member to join Kicking in 2020 after the departure of Henry Atherton back to his home in the PNW.”
