Good Bandits – “Hair of the Dog”

Country: Canada

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist: Loaded up with buzzed out guitars, big boxy drums, a saxophone solo, and a guy telling you all about his hangover – Hair Of The Dog is a beautifully noisy, yet groovy machine that leaves you wanting more. Written during a summer of listening to Iggy Pop, The Ramones, and the new wave of post-punk, there’s no shortage of rock n’ roll here. Hair of The Dog is the first single from Good Bandits debut album (out Summer 2023), and would be a perfect fit for any alternative rock or punk playlists.

Spiders on Drugs – “Changes”

Country: Sweden 

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist: ” I write a lot of music in different genres. I mainly write and produce for the fun of it, not expecting any big commercial success. But of course it makes me happy if other people like the songs I write. I have found that some tunes seems to write themselves. This is one of them. These kind of tunes also tend to be the most liked tunes I have found.”

The War Toys – “Holy Smokes”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: “Holy Smokes” is the first single from The War Toys’ upcoming EP. Heavier than usual, it showcases a new head-banging fearlessness the band has embraced. “Holy Smokes” is a culmination of hard hitting riffs, lyrics derived from experience, and drums deep from the seafloor.

Ways In Waves – “Who In War”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Combining aspects of rock, art-pop, and electronic music together into a mixture that propels the listener through controlled chaos. “Who In War” uses the previous single “Everything Taken” as a starting point, and pushes the layering of textures and instruments toward an intentional maximalism. The bombastic and surreal build of the song culminates in an explosive cacophony that sounds like a celebration during an air raid.

J.J. Summer – “I’m In Love With Being In Love”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: I’m In Love With Being In Love shows a more menacing side to J. J. Summer’s ever-growing canon. Chock full of irresistible grooves and riffs.

Jodie Langford – “Take Your Money”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Initially inspired by M.I.A.’s Paper Planes about Sri Lanka’s government oppression of the Tamils, the infectious track Take Your Money challenges the UK’s big decision makers & how they oppress the less fortunate for their own gain through a lyric about defunding of the NHS & how those who can’t afford private healthcare are left to suffer.

Spoke Noise – “The Good Juice”

Lipstereo – “Push The Tide”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Called “Push the Tide”, the single narrates “relationship ailments, parental entanglements and an appeal to be decisive on matters of trust,” confides lead singer Sam Stranges. The melodic garage rock banger features fierce jangly guitars, a contagious rock hook, and igniting bass lines which could convincingly appear on an early Arctic Monkeys release. The accompanying video was filmed in the “Scrap Museum” at Bakehouse Studios in Melbourne and was telecast live from New York City on behalf of children’s charities across the world for a live streamed concert called “Let Me Help – Children Of The World”, presented by Noise11.com.

Snow Child – “Lovebyte”

Country: US

Genre: Prog Rock

Words From the Artist: ‘Lovebyte’ tells a tale of a familiar dissonance between a heartbreak and desire; to long for the one who’s hurt you even though you know they’re no good for you. In a unique take on the Progressive Rock and Pop sound, Snow Child takes you to this place, both sonically and lyrically with a plea for reconciliation.
