Equator – “Hooligan”

Country: Canada

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Their new release is a raucous blend of anthemic rock ‘n’ roll, brimming with boogie, rage, forgiveness, and raw energy. The music is loud, fast, and bombastic, infused with lyrics that highlight our ongoing struggle for equality and the collective effort required to bridge the gap.”

Some Gifts – “Sympathy For The Free Market”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““Sympathy For The Free Market,” references Vic’s favorite Rolling Stones song, his love of Dinosaur Jr.’s big crunching hooks, and his distaste of billionaires gone wild launching themselves into space. Vic sings: It doesn’t make any sense/This need to own everything/A massive amount of wealth you’ll never get to spend. “I lose a paycheck and I’m homeless. Elon Musk burns away three billion dollars and nothing changes for him. If his shit goes bust, I wouldn’t feel badly,” he says. The track “Psychic Tension” is as unsettling as the name implies, gloriously evoking Fugazi’s trapezoidal anthemics and Pixies urgency.”

Jean Caffeine – “Mammogram”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Part PSA, part humorous novelty song, the new track, “Mammogram,” is a shift. “ It’s moodier and scarier because mammograms are a nightmare,” says Jean. “And it’s in time for Halloween!”

Michael Younker- “Heart Control”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “From the cloying power-pop punch in celebration of instant gratification bereft of consequences on “Sweet Things,” to the blisteringly sharp evisceration of a toxic one-sided relationship on “Bad News,” Younker’s keen self-awareness and sassy delivery electrifies, augmented by sterling production values that elevate and amplify without sanding off the rough edges that make the overall effect so authentically charismatic.”

Mana – “Nauseating Me”

Country: Germany

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Nauseating Me” delivers raw energy with dark riffs and haunting vocals. It’s a fierce anthem of frustration, breaking free from toxicity with unapologetic intensity.”

Blous3 – “Marmaduke”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A song flippantly about obedience, this track cuts with it’s sharp guitar licks, and julian’s loose tongue. Julian’s drawl situates somewhere between spiritual transcendence and the asphalt. it’s not poetic, but it emanates like heat from the ground in 90 degree weather. it starts creeping in, but occupies the full frame by the end.”

figure 8 – “1999 (cherry)”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “1999 (cherry) shows off figure eight’s prowess in full force. their punk and hardcore leaning tendencies fire off the track like a cannon ball shot through the sky, soaring high, but headed right for you—and then a calm. so delicate, a flower, a whisper. But when Abby starts to sing, and Nash’s noisy guitar cuts back in, you see what they were building all along. an altar. a place to dedicate one’s hope, loves, wishes. they’re the most artful band to come from the bay area in the longest time.”

Weathership – “Just A Ghost”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “The duality between fear and love, the apparitions one makes when exhausted or near to the end.”

Issy Sutcliffe – “Community Guidelines”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is a song I wrote about being banned from instagram for being too sexy! It’s giving queen of the Stone Age meets Sabrina carpenter vibes”

Current Swell – “Peacekeeper”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The new single from the four-piece captures that feeling of just agreeing with your significant other to keep the peace, even when you know something’s off. With that classic Current Swell West Coast rock vibe, the track blends laid-back grooves with lyrics that reflect a bit of frustration, and the sense of living in a dream that’s driving you a little crazy, but at the end of the day you just want to make sure everything stays amicable. The chorus line, “If you’re feeling good, I’m feeling good too, mama”, really drives home the idea of matching your partner’s mood just to keep things calm. “

Samuel Manning – “All That’s Forsaken Is Fading Away”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Samuel Manning is an Athens, GA based singer songwriter. His debut single “All That’s Forsaken Is Fading Away” comes to us through a wonderful collaboration with JoJo Glidewell (of Montreal, Night Palace, Modern Skirts) and Matt “Pistol” Stoessel (Faye Webster, Cracker, Cicada Rhythm).”
