Tadgh Billy King – “sit and wait”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  Dublin-based alt-rock artist Tadgh Billy King’s debut single Sit and Wait is a cathartic listening experience full of gnashy vocals, angular guitars, thick basslines, and electrifying drums. It pays homage to the history of punk rock and speaks to the existential dread of Tadgh’s generation. Recorded at his house in Dublin, the single is the first of a series to be released over the next few months. This song is trying to make sense of the many hypocrisies we face in today’s world. It’s a song of frustration, but I hope one person can use it as an anthem for awareness, realization and change, however big or small.

Glass Mansion – “Nearsighted”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Nearsighted” at its purest form is a song about the seduction of surrender. It’s about being too close to something to see the bigger picture, and leaning into the cruel torment that comes with wanting something you can’t quite have. That kind of longing can feel like being caught in an emotional purgatory. Being in that state of stuckness, you’ll blindly follow your desires wherever they lead you — which sometimes means sitting with the darkest parts of yourself.

Sig and the Fire Pilots – “Click Bait”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Sig & The Fire Pilots are a rockin 3 piece haling from Cannock UK . Been together just over a year Click bait is their first single. Its about the Depths and Lengths people will go to to get you to click the link ..Oddly self serving and ironic as we need all the clicks we can get

MeMe Detroit – “Roaring At The Preachers”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: A blazing foot stomping anthem, the track is oozing with scuzzy guitar riffs and a sing along hook-laden chorus. The track was inspired by Maria’s experiences with people who impose their beliefs upon others. Recognising the hypocrisy and animosity that surrounds different belief systems, Roaring At The Preachers is just over 3 and a half minutes worth of pure unadulterated anthemic angst. Maria used her writing to highlight the need for people to expel their negativity and, instead, embrace the light by showing love and empathy for others.

Meltt – “Soak My Head”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “Sometimes, I get trapped scrolling on social media,” confesses lead vocalist Chris Smith. “You get addicted to the dopamine rush of digital life, so you poke your head into cold water or nature to cleanse and re-ground yourself.”

Aurora By Noon – “Dirty Rules, Dirty Game”

Country: Austria

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: The song “Dirty Rules, Dirty Game” is about a relationship that is marked by broken trust, constant fighting, and betrayal. It delves into themes of hurt, regret, and the lingering scars and fears that are left behind after a toxic relationship ends. The chorus, which is repeated multiple times, emphasizes the desire to end the relationship and move on from the pain it has caused.

Barabas – “Rock On”

Country: Netherlands

Genre: Hard Rock

Words From the Artist: Rock On is the debut single of the new Hard Rock sensation from Holland; BARABAS.

Garrett Neiles – “Gasoline”

Country: Canada

Genre: Pop Rock

Words From the Artist: Straight out of 2004, this track is a collage of the Canadian Pop Rock bands that dominated the scene at the start of the millennium. It’s a little bit Simple Plan. A little bit Foo Fighters. And deserves to be played loud on your drive to work!

Dorene – “Maps”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  “The second single from our upcoming debut album. An electric, athematic rock song about the struggle of navigating a labyrinth of past experiences while striving to keep our eyes fixed on the future.”

Tamara Gamez – “Burning”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Tamara Gamez’ “Burning” is a song with a heavy but settling orchestration of guitars and drums dusted with the comforting shimmers of synthesizers. The powerful, memorable vocal melody is uplifting, with the contrast of strong, darker lyrics illuminating the reality of heartbreak and emotional separation from a first person perspective Produced by Dorian Grace.
