Fortitude Valley – “Sunshine State”
Country: UK
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Lyrically, the song is about moving away from Australia and dealing with those feelings. I found some old journals from when I was a teenager, and they made me reflect on how much I’d changed as a person. There were things about myself that I’d forgotten, but it was clear how much I’d always wanted to move to the UK. I was so keen to get away! From such a beautiful place! So the song is like: I’m going back to the Sunshine State to find my younger, more melodramatic self and catch-up with her.”

Shadows of a Silhouette – “No Matter Where I Go”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Driven by a gutsy guitar riff and propelled by unrelenting rhythm, ‘No Matter Where I Go’ wastes no time. There’s a sense of urgency here, a stripped-down intensity that feels immediate and unfiltered. That’s no accident. According to lead guitarist Reece Carter, the song was salvaged from an old voice memo recorded back in 2021. “I found this 30-second audio of me and Nay [Nathan Brown] jamming the first verse – it was just sitting there,” he explains. “It never materialised into anything with the band at the time, but I just loved how raw and to the point the riff was and thought that the lyrics were class. I knew it was the perfect tune to go on the debut LP.”

Small Miracles with Minas – “Bisexual Panic”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “‘BISEXUAL PANIC’ was originally written for a show supporting Joe & The Shitboys – the goal was simple: a short, trashy punk track that we wouldn’t overthink,” explains Fatale, The song confronts societal prejudices around gender and sexuality with unapologetic rage and relish. “The lyrics channel the anger of being harassed in the street for expressing myself.” they continue “It’s a fantasy of saying exactly what I wanted in those moments, without fear.” Its biting lyrics challenge bigoted views, declaring “You want me so you hate me, and that makes us one and the same. Bisexual panic!” The track critiques the hypocrisy surrounding queer identity with lines like “Afraid of dicks, just get a grip, you touch yours all the time!” taking aim at the contradictions of toxic masculinity.”

Hogchoker – “We Are The Da Bai”
Country: UK
Genre: Pop-Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “The Da Bai were China’s crack anti-COVID troopers. Da Bai means ‘Big White’, due to their white Hazmat suits. We were touring China when COVID hit and there was a real fear that if you coughed or sniffed you would be thrown in a van and locked away in a COVID hostel – huge bunkers full of thousands of beds side by side and a bucket of water to wash in. And beyond that, it’s been a live favourite for several years – a short, upbeat, punk song to jump up and down and punch the air to!”

Dominda – “Lads Like You”
Country: Ireland
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Lads Like You is a Rock/Grunge Single about a young man who thinks he’s god’s gift to the world, and women in particular, only to discover that he’s just like everyone else. It’s the perfect song to headbang to in a taxi with your friends on your way to a night out.”

JUMPCARE – “Loser Mindset”
Country: Germany
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Loser Mindset’ emerged from our frustration with toxic positivity culture, recorded live in a single take to capture grunge’s raw ethos. The lyrics weaponize self-deprecation against Instagram manifestation gurus, channeling Nirvana’s anti-establishment spirit through modern disillusionment. The song’s existential bridge (‘Maybe I am just not chosen’) directly confronts algorithmic determinism in music success.”
