DEADSET – “The Art of Pointscoring”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “The song is an earnest outlook on the toxic environment that can be birthed when you’re struggling to coordinate mental health issues. The apathy you experience in which you feel empathy but struggle to act upon it. It’s an ugly subject but writing about it in a vulnerable and genuine way helps to process and accept your own falsities and mistakes. But also accepting a situation you can’t change when someone else is feeling the same. Accepting both parties can make mistakes. It can help me learn vulnerability and forgive others, whilst also learning how to change bad behavior patterns myself.”

Kill My Coquette – “Slipped Him A Mickey”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist:  Slipped Him A Mickey is a punk rock blast of revenge. The lyrics tell the story of a woman taking matters into her own hands after being sexually assaulted on a date, while the up-tempo music keeps things tense.

Star Matriarch – “You’re Free (With Me)”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Sex workers are, in fact, providers of care. Carol’s guttural vocal delivery of “You’re Free With Me” sounds as much as it is for herself as it does for her clients, however. Her signature agitated guitar and booming drums seem to back this up, making the track a gusty and gutsy endeavor. As nurturing as she is ferocious, Star Matriarch gives the listener permission to relinquish their own shame and doubt.

Against The Sun – “JAD”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: Gun violence has taken too many lives. Shootings happen so often that many don’t know how to react anymore. They should never be normal, never be ‘just another day.’ Our new single JAD is a plea for audiences to empathize with victims and their families each and every time. We also welcome Seth from Chasing Desolation on vocals, an LA Hard Rock juggernaut who brings his ferocity to this track.

Nathan Doyle – “Healing”

Country: Canada

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist: Growing up as a confused loser was hard. I learned to bottle up all my feelings because I had no one who would listen. But now, as I try to heal the scars of my past, I mess up sometimes, I push people away, and I forget who I am. “Healing” is for blasting in the car with friends – it’s a hopeful frustration – I’ll heal one day – it just won’t be today. To bring that energy out, the song features Canadian legend Dave Genn on bass and amazing drummer from Carly Rae Jepson’s band, Nik Pešut.

Dust Mothers – “The Rub”

Country: US

Genre: Skate Punk

Words From the Artist: “The Rub” is the lead single from the latest EP, DEBACADEBACLE, from Texas noise rock four-piece, Dust Mothers. Self-produced and recorded by the band, the single releases May 26th, followed by the EP it represents on June 2nd.

Hey Major – “You’re So Cold (I’m On Fire)”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Their new song “You’re So Cold (I’m on Fire)” is about a complicated love. Both the lyrics and rhythm of the music reflect a controlling and heartbreaking relationship. Even though it’s about being hurt, the brothers wanted to channel the sentiment that there’s beauty in pain too.

Encore – “DONE”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “We wanted to bring back the feeling of nostalgia that music can give you – one of complete submersion into a track where you’re singing at the top of your lungs in your bedroom, or even in the car,” says Donald. “‘DONE’ gives us that opportunity to emotionally connect, giving 100% of ourselves to express thoughts and feelings through a few simple words.”

MYO BYBEE – “Fade Me Out”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist:  “This song is written from the perspective of someone who was never in the spotlight, but seized the opportunity to go after what they want gaining confidence to never again let opportunities pass by.”

Charlie PS – “Revival”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: ‘Revival’ is badass, female modern-rock at its finest. From the first beat, it oozes with crunchy, blues-rock guitar riffs and fiercely melodic gang vocals. “This song is a story of personal restoration. After facing my own trials and tribulations during the pandemic, it’s me laughing in the face of adversity with a new-found confidence.”
