Waves of Dread – “The Tide”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Following on from last year’s debut album, Waves of Dread offer up a bite-sized release led by The Tide, a live favourite during promotion for the album, alongside three new songs. The Tide is an ode to late nights by the sea with loved ones, juxtaposed by the eeriness of your surroundings and the uncertainty of the future. Musically, The Tide evokes the spirit of early 90s shoegaze with a hint of 80s synth pop, two styles of music that the group share a love and appreciation for.”

Olivia Valentine – “And Now Just Be”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Tired, beaten, and frustrated with the world, a man decides to go live underwater among the friendly pond creatures that entice him on his daily walks through the park. I walk my dogs daily at a park near my house. It’s a great place to clear my head and become present. It’s no secret that this world has been a bit challenging for the last couple of years, so I often think as we walk near the ponds, ‘I’m just going to go live underwater with all of you.’

COMA_54 – “Punkt Eins”

Country: Ireland

Zerobridge – “Refugee Citizen”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““Refugee Citizen” was recorded in July 2024, during the 9th month of genocide in Gaza. Originally written and released independently by Zerobridge a little over 20 years ago, the new recording reunites its core members, brothers Din and Mohsin, and features new arrangements, an uncompromising sonic aggression, and most of all, the heroic voices of Palestinian aid workers and youth living in Gaza in March 2024, during the 6th month of genocide. Our hope with releasing this song is for it to bear witness to the genocide and call the world’s attention to the humanity and stories of the people in Gaza and the West Bank, Palestine, may they not be erased.”

Leo Lauren – “Vampire”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Vampire” is a haunted anthem—a perfect mix of fun and fear. On the surface, it’s a dark uptempo track that lulls you into misty, midnight alleyways. But beneath, it’s a story about seduction and the dangers of chasing beauty and power. “Vampire” speaks to how we fall victim to glamorized illusions, transforming into something else in the process. It’s a song that makes you dance but also makes you think about the monsters in our culture and within ourselves.”

Damn The Wolves – “Elements”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Elements is an interstellar love song which reflects on the idea that no one is ever really gone; that every particle and element will always be around forever. Elements urgent, broad, expansive verses urge forward into a wide walled choruses that declares that no matter what, this is bigger than the time and space we have in front of us.”

Slow Collision – “Table Tennis”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Slow Collision’s third single, “Table Tennis,” from their upcoming sophomore EP, is a deeply emotional acoustic track. Trapped in a cycle of mental exhaustion and self-doubt, singer Greenberg finds himself watching ping pong on TV as a distraction, only to discover solace in the craft and the ‘love of the game.’”

The 39th Floor – “Mad Love”

Country: US
