Mean Sea – “You’re In My Thoughts”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: ““You’re in my thoughts!” Oh, OK. The words can feel hollow when they’re thrown around so often. My own thoughts can get pretty scary sometimes so I promise I won’t keep you in mine for long.”

Violet Night – “losing my mind”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: New EP daydream drama follows the smash success of sophomore LP A N T I H E R O E S and sees VIOLET NIGHT rising on the waves of singles “Headtrip” and “SAVE ME.” Surrounding these tracks are three others that show the trio’s ever-increasing mastery of hooks, from the emotionally distant title track to the downward spiral of “losing my mind.” Written during a period where guitarist/vocalist Connor Pohl felt like there was a void between himself and the rest of the world, “losing my mind” is an empowering anthem that offers a reminder – you are not your demons.

Matt Alfano – “Pretend to be My Boyfriend”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: This song is about the narrator at a bar with a friend. Their friend is getting creeped on by a guy and she asks the narrator to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to get away. The narrator also has feelings for his friend, and acknowledges that this one moment will probably be the closest they’ll ever come to a relationship, even though it’s just for show.

Morfs – “Inexplicable (To You)”

Country: Swden

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This song is about following your gut feeling. It’s about trusting your instinct when faced with a situation you can’t explain.”

Biblical Proof of UFOs – “Jet Streams”

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: A haunting ballad with baroque instrumentation and infectious melodies. For fans of Pink Floyd, Silverchair, Radiohead

DAYTIME TV – “jessica”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “I realised there was nothing stopping me from saying painful things out loud”, Vocalist Will Irvine comments on the track, “That felt like a big corner to turn as a songwriter and opened up all sorts of other dark wells and distant lights. It’s been pretty mad delving into the past and digging up those nostalgic memories, for better or worse. Sometimes a happy memory can be the saddest thing because it’s gone. I don’t like thinking about “what might have been”. It’s pointless and doesn’t help anyone, but if your brain goes there it’s hard to reel it in. That sudden feeling that you’d do anything to turn back the clock and re-run something. It can be bittersweet looking back”.

Drens – “Bubblegum Dreamworld”

Country: Germany

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: BUBBLEGUM DREAMWORLD. All good. All pink. Alright. The bubble is indestructible, right? At least it stays intact, until the outer world shows itself in form of a needle, and the thin wall between dream and reality bursts open. The wall is stretchy like bubblegum. Small imperfections are visible, but only with a lot of pressure they turn into holes. Is it pushing away or coping to hide? Until this is settled, Drens will remain gliding through the stream of time in their little ‘hideout-bubble’.

Square Wave – “Sweet”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: The track ‘Sweet’ provides a fierce, energetic, powerful and harmonious blend of chaos and ethereal rock energy as the lyrics tackle dark and melancholic, spooky, psychedelic and rebellious themes of hypnotic manipulation, addiction and false idols. ‘Sweet’ is perfect for anyone pushing themselves to overcome adversity whether that be on a run or working through their late-night emotions as the track increases tempo and gains intensity and momentum throughout, building into an explosive outro.

Psychic Social Club – “We Don’t Talk”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Influenced by massive Australian names including Spacey Jane, The Vanns, and Bakers Eddy, the local indie rock inspiration shines through the track, with a swell of fuzzy guitars and rippling vocals. ‘We Don’t Talk’ surges with passion through its driving rhythm section and soaring chorus. The tune is a cathartic unbottling of emotions; a meditation on past relationships that have run their course. With chant worthy lyrics and an anthemic chorus, ‘We Don’t Talk’ provides a therapeutic release of words unsaid.
