Kid Blank – “A Place for You and Me”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is a song for the outsiders. The ones that don’t fit in. Tired of being rejected they long to find a place where they can be free, together. This alternative rock ballad has a bittersweet melody that builds up and a big crescendo at the end.”

Faded Element – “Ripple Effect”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Ripple Effect is a song about the repercussions of ones actions. Hence the name Ripple Effect”

Common Crime – “Repressions”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “It’s a song about reflecting on the choices you made in the past. A theme we think is heavily relatable. Our emo/punk influences really show on this track, with catchy hooks mixed alongside some emo guitar riffs, and memorable leads.”

August Gonzalez – “Welcome 2 The Badlands”

Country: US

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Cool pop punk song inspired by one of my favorite shows Into The Badlands.”

Crisantos – “In My Head”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This song was originally a more mellow acoustic guitar song I wrote after bouncing back from a series of unfortunate events. Took a lot of influence from Beck’s song – Loser, one of my favorite songs since my uncle introduced me to the song at the age of around 6 or 7. The distorted guitar was an accident, but to me it sounded like a Weezer song and that was great.”

The Drawn Out – “Grave Clothes”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Newest song from The Drawn Out’s new Ep also called “Grave Clothes”. It’s an honest song about the hardship and beauty of finding yourself and what you believe. It’s an alternative song with big guitars, drums, and vocals. In the same vein as Manchester Orchestra, Paramore, Pheobe Bridgers.”

Stefski & Hutch – “It’s Forever”

Country: Poland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The lyrics and the almost acting by the singer in the verses finds a perfect ground on musical ideas that stresses the intentions of the song. Rythmically it’s a waltz, not very typical, rather a grungy one with that, but as the song goes, the chorus maintains some hope in a well ending story with it’s kind of French chanson melody filtered through alternative rock. The bridge has a flavor of the 70’s rock music revamped thanks to an almost comedy-horror climax that reminds the listener that in the end it’s all about good fun rock’n’roll and the story maybe is not as dramatic as it could seem sometimes. Frank Zappa might have loved it, Alice Cooper will certainly do.”

Takeover – “Wait”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Chill semi-acoustic rock verses with big anthemic choruses.”

Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death – “Wreck The Decks”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “The new LP, Thirds, is a summary of sounds past but more dynamic, with layers of fuzzed-out guitars, calm intercessions, catchier choruses, and the occasional classic rock flourish. It takes the band’s early DNA of Fugazi, Superchunk, and Mission of Burma, splices in a few strands of Black Sabbath and Motorhead, and tops it with the swirling, crunchy melodicism of Bob Mould and Dinosaur Jr. And feedback. Lots of feedback.”

Matched – “Saving Face”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Saving face is about being desperate for control of one’s own narrative. She wants people to believe she is okay, but it’s a lie to make others feel better. She’ll keep getting up, but inevitably life will knock her down and it hurts. This song was written, produced, and recorded by the two of us in our tiny apartment and we’re stoked to finally be putting it out!”
