Words From the Artist/PR: Every song on this EP is about resilience in its different forms, but ‘Prophets’ in particular focuses on rebirth, awakening, and lust. Ask yourself, ‘beware false prophets’ or surrender and fucking go for it?”

Gramercy – “Ford Fucking Ranger”

In 2020, when the world shut down, work dried up, relationships failed, evictions loomed… I spent my last $1500 on a 30 year old Ford Ranger.

Wine Lips – “Fried IV”

Country: Canada

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “I’ve written a version of ‘Fried’ on every record we put out, so naturally I had to add a ‘Fried IV’ to this album…It was the last song recorded for [Super Mega Ultra]…and it became one of my favorite tracks.”

No Lights – “Dream Eraser”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Like the streets of San Francisco in a Hitchcock movie, there is something familiar here, but never obvious whether it’s more beautiful or more troubling than real life”

Meli Levi – “Close To You”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:Close to You expresses a simple longing for warmth and intimacy amidst a chaotic world. The song bops along with a 1980s new wave flair and an endearingly scruffy musicality informed by indie-rock. “Close to You” was written after a squabble with a lover, and it offers a poignant perspective. Meli sings: When we’re out of reach/From all the arguing/And we just can’t seem to find our way I take a deep breath/Close my eyes/Remember why/I love you. “This song names the wanting for simplicity and intimacy with others. Not wanting to get lost in the monotony of daily routine and negativity,” they say. “It was written after watching myself fall into patterns of closing off when really underneath all of that I just want harmony and to be close to my lover. It’s about remembering what is important.”

The Eyebrows – “Open Mic Tuesday”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: The jangly power-pop song, “Open Mic Tuesday,” replete with crunching guitar hooks and sugar-rush harmony vocals is a sonic vignette from Shawn and Jay’s time running sound at local open mics. The lyrics here are rife with whimsical reportage. One standout passage is: Got bumped at the end of the night/Signed up way too late/Oh yeah, will I see you next Tuesday?/Trash fire in you heart/You pose just like Freddy Mercury.”The jangly power-pop song, “Open Mic Tuesday,” replete with crunching guitar hooks and sugar-rush harmony vocals is a sonic vignette from Shawn and Jay’s time running sound at local open mics.

Words From the Artist/PR: The song captures the feeling of alienation, the pain you feel when you slowly drift away from someone you once cared about.

The Sound And The Fury – “Alpha and Omega”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Alpha and Omega” the fiery first release is an alt rock juggernaut that builds and builds. The exploding, dual onslaught of guitar and drums, is matched only by an infectious and anthemic chorus wrought with charm and intrigue. The track actually started out as titled “Godzilla” and in true form, TSATF worked together to polish their intention.
