Red Shelled Turtle – “Song 5”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “This song is the masterful fruit of our labor as we express our love for indie alternative rock with some extra flavors of spice as a gift to your ears. The lyrics serve as a template not only for the chorus but the lyrical embodiment of the entire piece, we hope you find the paradoxical nature of the song to be simply ‘intriguing'”

Sugar Pit – “Sneaky Hands”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist:  “Full of both dissonance and tenderness, “Sneaky Hands” is a bitter-sweet punk track that was written weeks before Sugar Pit frontman, Kian Stevens-Winston, moved across the country from Philadelphia to start a new life in San Francisco. It is a song about leaving everything you know in the neverending quest for something better. It is a rumination on one’s direction in life, mortality, and the looming feeling that time is running out. Atop haunting fuzz guitar swells and moody acoustic guitar, Sugar Pit opens with “I don’t believe in fate, but I do believe in luck.” Caught in the crossfire between these two forces, Sugar Pit reckons with the ultimate opponent: the sneaky hands on the clock.”

Strange Bouquets – “Masquerade”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Already celebrated for his work with the neo-psychedelic band Drug Hunt, Rory Morison AKA Strange Bouquets releases his second single “Masquerade” on November 16th.” “A post-punk, psychedelic opera” that test the waters bit further than his debut single “Mirrors” did in August.”

Smoke Stack Rhino – “Old Silver Bullet”

Country: Australia

Genre: Rock

From the Artist: “Old Silver Bullet was recorded in studios in the Yarra Valley, with the band’s love of the outdoors shining through in lyrics like “Wedge-Tailed Eagle, rise on your thermal, great cosmic operator, seeing one and all”.

The Utopiates – “Illuminise”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Illuminise is a 70s Bowie-inspired funk track with a touch of Daft Punk and the aggression of Sleaford Mods. Written around Josh’s wonky guitar hook we ran with the theme of being untouchable. Dan’s own experience of negative friendship’s and all the bullshit that goes with it was unleashed into this 3-minute banger. We’re rising up, don’t be green.”

Sister Jack – “See Me Like This”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “This is a dark rock song about some really personal stuff”

Tim Barr – “Scorpion Commander”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “Tim Barr is a songwriter based out of Newburgh NY. Early highlights of Tim’s career include playing bass for Lana Del Rey and fronting the band Silverbird. “

SickRichard – “Who Do You Work For”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

From the Artist: “WDYWF is the sound of a broken digital world you entered unwillingly. Rife with paranoia and hysteria, and the notion that something has gone deeply wrong and the game is rigged. An interrogation of the psyche in response to the weight of a looming authoritarian state and the oppression caused by its automated machinations and the unwavering surveillance of the online world. The feeling that you’re been watched and trapped, with no escape.”

The Fixer – “Depart”

Country: Canada

Genre: Rock

From the Artist: “Depart is a high energy, to-the-point “banger,” with an epic ending and a massive vocal line (2:02)”

Ailbhe Reddy – “Shitshow”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Indie Rock

From the Artist: “Her new album Endless Affair is constructed as a kind of document to endings and achieving closure, addressing the challenges we face in letting go and accepting finality. It exists equally as a poetic reflection on the aftermath of youth when the party is over and – in its more sobering second half – as a story of more certain endings and the letting go of life. Upcoming single ‘Shitshow’ reaches for the former, setting fuzzed-up, down-trodden guitars to the worlds of regret, cyclical bad habits and overindulgence. Please check it out below.”
