Reader – “Farm To Table”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  It’s a song about the fatigue of living in American culture. Constantly being down trodden by corporate overlords, insufficient living wages, having excess of nothing. All wrapped in radio friendly metaphors.

Firebug – “Red, White And Blue”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is a song about peace, coming together, and moving away from the divisiveness that has permeated much of our culture here in the U.S.. It’s also about recognizing the struggles of everyday people that come from all backgrounds who are just trying to live their lives free from the burdens that plague us all in varying degrees. We have more in common than what separates us. Ultimately, love is better than hate and there is hope the American dream is still attainable for us all.”

Turnpike Gates – “Not Myself Today”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR:  Not Myself Today is the title track from the recently released Turnpike Gates LP, which chronicles the psychologically draining experience of living in a post-pandemic American city. Produced by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls, Not Myself Today is the follow-up to 2021’s City In Heat EP. Singer-songwriter Ryan Smith returns with his unique brand of East Coast-flavored angst — fusing punk, pop, alternative and heartland rock to create a sound that’s all his own.

The Empty Page – “I’m A White Hot Blade (Witches Are Wicked)”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song was inspired by the history of burning women as witches. It is about how when people are unjustly oppressed and attacked, sometimes the rage at that injustice can turn into a superpower, just like how a knife blade can be forged in the heat of a furnace. It’s also about how different the world might be if it was run by women.”

Coach House – “On My Pillow”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: On My Pillow is our first single taken from our upcoming second album. It’s a catchy, thumpy, rocky track with infectious, catchy harmonic vocals. A new direction from us towards a more alt-rock, grungy sound.

Strange Demons – “Black Holes Float In My Eyes”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Guitar heavy production with 90’s alt rock vibe. Surrealistic lyrics, a song about trying and failing to make sense of the world.

Cigarette Trees – “Sheep”

Words From the Artist/PR: “Combining modern, Orwellian lyrics and alt, prog, and indie rock influences, Sheep features a driving beat, thick guitars, thumping bass, and an ear-worm-invoking hook”
