Totally Slow – “Crosshairs”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: This is a quick anti-fascist blast that kicks off our next LP. A statement on the breakdowns in human communication that foment fear and result in a right wing celebration of violence towards the marginalized.

Daisy The Great & illuminati hotties – “Time Machine 2”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Time Machine 2 is the evil twin sequel to our song Time Machine from our 2022 record ‘All You Need Is Time’. We’ve always had a dream to make a grittier, faster version of the song, so when we got the opportunity to collaborate with indie punk legend Sarah Tudzin of illuminati hotties, we knew it would be the perfect moment to realize that vision. We had so much fun creating this song with Sarah, and with Matti and Nardo from our band. We hope you love it and play it loud :)”

Wayfarer – “Eviction Spree”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Their song “Eviction Spree” is a snapshot of a moment in time where songwriter Kyle Krische’s family experienced what sadly so many have the last few years: losing your stable affordable housing to unrelenting greed. It’s so easy to break and to let your fury poison every aspect of your life. The stress and fear are all consuming when you’re scrambling to figure out how to continue to provide a home for the ones you love. “Thankfully, I had an absolute rock in my wife, I had two children born at that house, I had work and I had support that would allow me to eventually land us on our feet,” explains Krische. “They were powerful forces that I could feed off of and thrive from and it was something in our earlier, relatively comfortable early years I didn’t appreciate. I owed a nod to all that and this song was the result.”

Fake Shape – “Black Bear”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Their latest release is “Black Bear,” one of their favourite songs to play live, so Fake Shape sought to capture that same level of intensity and energy. Temperamental and expansive, they wanted to bring attention to the space in between the lyrics and allow the sound to develop. Baldry’s trumpet solo shines, supported by Brown and Read’s instrumentals, and is further complemented by an undercurrent of super fuzzed feedback which creates an uneasy kind of crazed feeling.

The Bullseyes – “Feelin’ Good Ain’t Cheap”

Country:Poland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Embodying the very essence of autumn melancholy, this new single is a unique blend of high-energy rhythm, wild melody, and heart-pounding guitar riffs culminating in a massive guitar solo that promises to send shivers down your spine. “Feelin’ Good Ain’t Cheap”, is an introspective delve into the universal human experience. It touches on the sheer amount of effort we put into feeling even remotely alright amidst the turmoil life throws our way.

The Dionysus Effect – “Everything The Darkness Eats”

Country: US

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “As a band, we are all huge fans of horror and really see horror and rock music as artistic siblings. With Eric’s novel, it took me back to being a kid reading and watching Clive Barker for the first time. Barker created such hellish memorable worlds with THE DAMNATION GAME and HELLRAISER and felt Eric did something the same with Henley’s Edge in EVERYTHING THE DARKNESS EATS. Eric’s book tapped something deep in me with my own trauma and battles with depression and I wanted to express that—luckily I’m a songwriter.”

Bayline – “Sound The Alarm”

Country: Netherlands

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Too many times you still hear and see (mostly) men taking advantage of women using their stature. The victims are too afraid to speak up, so we as a society have the responsibility to stand by the victims. This is a call to all! When you see or hear about abuse of power SOUND THE ALARM and SPEAK UP!

The Human Condition – “Usurper”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “We are a three piece rock band from New York/Boston who just released our first self recorded/produced EP. We tried to capture the energy of our shows to the best of our abilities with zero budget”

The Lowcocks – “How I Spent My Quarantine Vacation”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: How I Spent My Quarantine Vacation is a culmination of everything we went through individually and as a group during the pandemic. It’s all the pent up anxiety, depression, and anger we dealt with. The world just felt tense all the time, with a little occasional slice of normalcy and nostalgia. Remember how we all felt kinda down and hopeless all the time? That’s what the song is about. And it helps we wrote it at the tail end of lockdown.

Haast Hunter – “Serpent Seeker”

Country: New Zealand

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: This is dedicated to those that want to break free of the toxic mindset of chasing the wrong people in life. its for the ones that say “no more” and decided to do what’s best for them.
