Bad Mother Nature – “Excuses”
Country: US
Genre: Folk Rock
Words From the Artist: “Remaining consistent with their unique vocal harmonies and vintage western-rock sound, Bad Mother Nature’s “Excuses” ironically justifies things like laziness and alcoholism with the tired reasoning of someone who’s lost all motivation to justify their pitfalls.

Sarah King – “You Were Wrong About Me”
Country: US
Genre: Singer Songwriter
Words From the Artist: ““You Were Wrong About Me” looks back on the situations that didn’t work out from a place of strength, growth and confidence. Complete with White Stripes’ inspired drum patterns and loud guitars, we are given a sassy dose of empowerment meant to motivate listeners to pursue their true potential. The song was written in about 10 minutes; the two minute long rocker was inspired by a music venue that rejected King to perform before even listening to her music. Miffed by the immediate brush-off, she just couldn’t shake the way that moment made her feel. Confronting one of the industry’s most well known demons, she has written one of her most simple, yet impactful tracks that so many fellow musicians will be able to relate to.”
Vision Video – “Haunted Hours”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Haunted Hours is a song about loss. The human condition is that of finite experience, and we all are destined to experience loss and grief. This song is about trying to remember those we’ve lost through the granular texture of contextual memory. If you try to imagine a face of someone in your mind, it’s not always so easy, but remembering them through the context of a specific beloved memory brings them right back to you.”
Superhead – “Everybody Here Really Hates You”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Vocalist Jason Frankel wrote this song on a car trip to Nashville. “It started out with a lot more pop sensibility, but as I wrote the lyrics, it became harsh in a humorous way (“Everybody here gets what you mean, black out drunk at the Spirit Halloween”). It’s a mix of hatred and insecurity I was projecting combined with total absurdity. The bipolar lyrics and the sonic heaviness brings the song together to be a chaotic, beautiful mess that I think everyone would want to scream their heads to”.
Billy Raffoul – “We Could Get High”
Country: Canada

Atticus Chimps – “Alien Jewelry”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: “Alien Jewelry is the apex of Atticus Chimps sound. It features a heavy, straight introduction that makes you feel like you’re flying down a desert highway or traversing the galaxy at the speed of light. Once the verse hits, the rhythm changes to swung and dives into a filthy blues rock riff that was inspired by the great Queens of the Stone Age and Royal Blood. The song is about love, the cosmos and the existential questions about life on this planet and our purpose. Alien Jewelry is a metaphor for stars in the night sky. What is out there among the Alien Jewelry? ”
Nocturnal Animals – “Passive Tone”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: ” ‘Passive Tone’ starts with a melancholic acoustic guitar, arpeggiating chords that hint at the burst of resentment about to come. The punch of the drums pushes you away from the passive aggression and disdain from the people pulling you down. The track channels the discomfort and annoyance of being treated worthlessly into a punk march, helping you pull yourself up from your bootstraps. Nocturnal Animals give us some insight into the single: “Passive Tone is about the feeling of someone not being able to say it to your face; they speak in a passive tone making you feel like you aren’t worth their time.”
