The Heavy North – “Where Are You Now?”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Where Are You Now? is about remembering people who come and go in your life, and wondering whether they’re still the same person they once were and thinking about what they’re up to”. “The lyrics explore whether those people we used to know are still the same as how we remembered them, or have their circumstances or situations changed for better or worse.”

Words From the Artist: A hard rock/post-grunge/rock-pop upbeat song perfect for parties, dance clubs, and summer! Co-written and with and produced by Brandon Zano of the rock band ZAANO.

Dick Dudley – “Train”

Country: Australia

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: “I was sitting on a busy train coming home from work, and instead of looking at my own phone I was watching the other phones I could see on the carriage. One man in particular caught my eye. He was well dressed, clean shaven, in his fourties’; yet on his phone he was furiously scrolling through pictures of young women, looking at each for no more than two seconds. I just thought this was a really odd way for this man to be spending his time on the train. Was he on his way home to his family, off to the pub with his mates? Either way, it’s fun to imagine what’s going on in other people’s heads.”

Raised on TV – “Wasted”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This is the next single off our 4th studio album coming out in April on Sell the Heart Records. It’s gonna be our first vinyl release! We plan on touring, playing at record stores, and are currently reaching out to press. This song was written during the pandemic. It’s about feeling lost and re-finding your place in the world. In the studio, we tried to find a sound that was a big, refined rock sound, without being super polished.”

Ivan Caves – “Strangers”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “It’s a song I wrote and produced myself in my college dorm. It’s about feeling kinda like an outcast in a place that seems somewhat familiar, but still foreign to you. That’s how I felt my first year of college (last year). I’ve been going to school my whole life but this transition made me feel so alone because I didn’t know anyone. That’s why I called it Strangers.”

Milktuth – “Take Ten”

Country: Ukraine

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Take Ten” is a song about the loss of a loved one and the emptiness that follows. How when the grief knocks on your door, your first reaction is to close your eyes in disbelief. And, just like in a childish game, count to ten and open them, hopefully to find out it all was only a frightful dream. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in Ukraine, this issue has become especially relevant, as it is our every day reality. And the best thing we can do is protect each other and fight on!

Nathaniel Sutton – “The Metaphor”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: The pandemic was stressful for a number of reasons, and for Nathaniel Sutton, divorce was an added factor to that stress. A long term relationship, such as an eleven year marriage coming to an end, is a difficult situation for anyone to endure, but Nathaniel found comfort in writing music. Keeping with the theme, “The Metaphor” is a song about finding inner peace in difficult situations. The songwriting process “felt almost therapeutic in a way, writing and recording such personal songs” Nathaniel explains.

Damn The Wolves – “Dying To Come Back To Life”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Dying To Come Back to Life is about isolation and the feeling that life is being squandered. But, despite looking inwardly, the song is blasted out in a rousing ‘surely I can’t be the only one feeling this way?’ anthem. Regardless of this decline and confinement, sensing that we’re all giving up without a fight, there is a belief that a better day and togetherness might still be possible…

The Revelator – “Dark Eyes”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  Dark Eyes is a jangling, 60s rocker mixing 12-string textures of The Byrds with a grooving, garage rock beat. The Revelator walks a tonal high wire, dazzling with uptempo, catchy guitar lines that make lyrics with a dark undertone go down easily. Listeners are thrust into the heat of that moment after a breakup when you feel ready to move on, but everything you say proves that you aren’t. The song wears its psychedelically tinged palette lusciously, as fuzzed out guitars meet vocals coated in reverb, forming a sound that matches the intoxicating elation of a heart hungry for love.
