Maruja – “One Hand Behind The Devil”

Country: UK

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist: ” the single is an infernal hellfire of break-beat-punk, harsh noise, and transcendent cosmic jazz. The quartet fizzes, erupts, and soars across 4 minutes of intense, unflinching drama. Laden with doom and fearsome cathartic release, ‘One Hand Behind The Devil’ stands as another electric formulation of Maruja’s devilish ambitions.”

Dave Spivak Project – “Take Me Home”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Take me home’ is about looking back at the past and yearning for the days that used to be. The simpler times, before having people over to stare at their phones. A strong self portrait of a capsule of time with a repetitive hook of “take me home” riddled throughout the song.

Torn Sky – “Songs to the Wicked”

Country: US

Genre: Grunge

Words From the Artist: My brother and I originally recorded this song over 20 years ago on our first “XD Out” record. We have since then learned a ton, changed our name to Torn Sky and decided to give it the proper treatment it deserves. It’s a double bass, guitar heavy driving tune, which will make you either want to speed, or fight! Although the message is heavy it has a positive streak throughout.

Boss Rush – “Catalog of Shame”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: An expression of that all too familiar inner conflict we have with our previous selves. A reflection of all the cringe we experience throughout our lives and how we can’t stop revisiting those hard to relive moments. We love the upbeat feel of the song contrasted with the dirty sound of the instruments and cynical undertones of the lyrics.

Emil Landman – “Our Love”

Country: Netherlands

Genre: Singer

Words From the Artist: Our Love was written after a three week silence retreat in the Nepali Himalayas. The track embodies the sense of freedom, letting go and pursuing the things you truly love.

Jeff From Work – “Stand Up”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: On “Stand Up”, the band holds nothing back as they tell a coming-of-age story, the battling of external and internal forces to grow up, yearning for better on the other side of youth.

DanielFromSalem – “HEADCASE”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Song about feeling unwanted in the world. Places you once loved have now become dark and you are trying your best to overcome your struggles. Learning to let go of the things you lost. You feel as if you don’t belong or fit in this world anymore and are trying to cope and find a place you belong.

Telos Vision – “On The Line”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “On The Line” is “About being sure that you’re on the right track even if it’s not always easy to work things out. It’s a straightforward rock song that I felt could be a fun song to play live, with lots of guitars and long drum fills.”

Joybomb – “Visions!”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Presenting “Visions!” – an energetic and dynamic track that marks a departure from our usual sound, infusing hardcore elements with the infectious spirit of power pop and rock ‘n’ roll. With a relentless fast tempo that steadily intensifies towards the conclusion, this song is designed to ignite excitement in every listener. Lyrically, “Visions!” delves into themes of self-deceit and perspective, offering a thought-provoking narrative that adds depth to its high-energy musical composition. This track is a testament to our versatility as a band, delivering a thrilling sonic experience that demands attention.

Hit Bargain – “Immaculate Vaxxer”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: In the opening track of “Immaculate Vaxxer,” singer Nora Singh menacingly wavers, “A warning / Or a premonition to be ignored / Superstition buoying us to impossible shores” against Mike Barron’s ragged guitar stabs, while bass player Sean Monaghan and drummer Anton Hochheim create a roiling, brackish undercurrent that compellingly tugs the listener along. Artist and musician Chris Mulligan (Parlor Walls, Gold Dime) has illustrated a masterfully animated dark kaleidoscope visual call and response video to the lyrical body horror and saintly submission of the song’s themes on chronic disease as religious allegory.
