Caustic Waves – “Invisible Enemy”
Country: UK
Genre: Rock
From the Artist: “INVISIBLE ENEMY is the 2nd single from CAUSTIC WAVES, the new project from Neil Thomas – a Software Engineer by day, music producer by night (once the kids are asleep). Written in March 2020, lyrically the song captures the initial fear and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a snapshot of the period when no one really understood what was going on, when people were ordered to stay at home and only leave when absolutely necessary. Shelves were empty due to panic buying, and Covidiots were abusing the supermarket workers trying to carry on with their jobs. The rising daily statistics were frightening, and it felt like there was no end in sight. The overall message of the song is, however, a positive one – “we’ll find a way to make it through…” Musically, it’s an energetic, melodic rock song, with thick crunchy rhythm guitars, driving bass, and hook-laden vocals backed by layers of harmonies. The song is influenced by the alternative metal and post-hardcore bands of the late 90s / early 00s, such as Deftones, Far, Helmet and Kerbdog.”
Shredded Bulbs – “Waterfall”
Country: Austria
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “The duo seem to have mastered the Nirvana-esque loud/quiet dynamic; ‘Waterfall’ is full of twists and turns, varied soundscapes, unexpected and crashing crescendos – a virtue the song-writers hope will land them with a diverse audience: “We aim to capture pure and radiant energy that will instantly appeal to electronic, pop and rock fans everywhere,” say the Austrian artists. “Waterfall’s cross appeal of listening is our unique selling point – we just love to connect things.”

Faster On Fire – “Yellow Chair”
Country: US

From the Artist: “Faster on Fire is a reflective and potent pop-rock duo from the east coast USA. Jon and Alex have come a long way from their roots in pop-punk, landing in a place of emotional vulnerability and realness while maintaining the energy they’ve always incorporated into their wildly addictive melodies, riffs, and beats. Both highly versatile musicians, their approach to writing remains fluid, each bringing lyrical and musical ideas to flesh out and explore. It’s this approach that creates the heart and depth that’s apparent in every track.”

If you haven’t ever questioned the very nature of your existence, are you even alive?”
Bridget Rian – “why did u lie?”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “”why did u lie” is basically my villain origin story. This song is me screaming at someone who made me feel small. In typical narcissist behavior, they built me up to tear me down and this is me grabbing my unhinged femininity and burning their house down.”

Country: US

The instantly memorable “Slackers” starts with a very Pixies-esque, four-chord progression reminiscent of an ironic, early ‘90s slacker song. “Slackers” highlights everything that can build musically and lyrically in four minutes with twlinkly licks and fuzzed-out guitars, adding light and contrast.”
Jovi Skyler – “Got It Wrong”

It was during this time that Jovi’s consistent exposure to entertainment hubs fermented his creative fervour and desire to focus a light on the dynamics of heady distractions.”
