AM Reruns – “Rose In Wire”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Four years since the release of their exceptional self-titled debut, AM Reruns are back with another taste of their signature blend of new-wave, power pop and 80s indie. Taking cues from the likes of glam-rock heavyweights T. Rex, ‘Rose in Wire’ is a shuffle-driven foray into the slicker side of rock n roll, with dense drums and sharp, punctuating guitar; an outing that further solidifies them as a band firmly rooted in their influences, yet constantly breaking ground into new territory.

SD17 – “Epic”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: Epic is the latest single and musical evolution from New Mexico hard rock/metal band SD17. This song explores a different musical side of the band and hits hard at what is happening in the world we live in today.

A Days Wait – “Apologies & Insights”

Country: Canada

Genre: Shoegaze

Words From the Artist: “Another song that Jackson Phillips (Day Wave) Produced from our upcoming Album. Most of us have had times where we’ve played the victim and felt the world owed us an apology or an explanation. It’s never a great place to be, but this song is about those times. Proceeds go to charity for this project”

Irish Basement – “Every Dive Bar”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Introducing “Every Dive Bar,” the electrifying new single from Washington-DC’s Irish Basement. This post-punk modern gothic rock song is a wild ride of distorted guitars, driving bass lines, energetic drums, and a baritone male vocal that will have you dancing all night long. Inspired by bands like Bloc Party, LCD Soundsystem, and Joy Division, “Every Dive Bar” is a celebration of losing yourself in a wild night with a significant other. It captures the energy and excitement of a dive bar with its fast-paced rhythm, dark and moody soundscapes, and baritone male vocal. This single is the perfect addition to any blog or playlist that celebrates alternative rock and the darker side of pop.

Linebeck – “Boring Blue-Eyed Boy”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  ‘Boring Blue-Eyed Boy’ is a song about “the futility of it all”. Inspired by the book and film ‘Coraline’, ‘BBEB’ is about pleading with someone not to be the hero, but instead be that boring blue-eyed boy.

Matthew Presidente – “Hundreds or Fives”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist:  “This is a love song with a twist. A swinging 6/8 story, orchestrated in the chamber pop style of Rufus Wainwright with the storytelling chops of Rod Stewart, we talk about love surviving anything. A hurricane, an airplane, maybe even a gambling addiction!? Through changes in life it’s not the material objects that matter. To me, I’ve stayed grounded through difficult times thanks to the love of my partner, my family and my friends. Although the road has been bumpy, there is laughter along the way and the love continues to endure, whether my pockets are full of $100’s or $5’s. “

Motley Jew – “Good Damage”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “”Good Damage” comes from Motley Jew’s first EP, Hollow Daze, which is on all streaming platforms. It’s a bit of an homage to the grunge bands I grew up idolizing.”

Circus’ End – “Carrie”

Country: Mexico

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: A song about trying to hold on to what once was even though one is aware that any effort to do so is futile. We take influence from various genres such as emo, shoegaze, alt and grunge.

Your ex and I – “Heartbreaker by Design”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Heartbreaker by Design” is Your ex and I at their most vulnerable in a harrowing tale of jealousy, gaslighting and infidelity. What if you found out your partner has been secretly dating their ex for two years? The song exposes the true story behind their singer’s discovery of an ex’s double life – from deleted emails to made up receipts for so-called business trips. How much would you look the other way to stay “happy”?

Everyday Fantastic – “If You Wanna”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “If You Wanna” is a pop-rock/pop-punk song written about supporting loved ones. It leans on some pop-punk tropes of getting away from this town, but focuses more on being there for the people you care about. The key to the whole song is that you’re willing to do anything for them “if they wanna”.
