Luce Cargo – “I Don’t Belong Here”
Country: Australia
Genre: Shoegaze
Words From the Artist/PR: Don’t Belong Here is Luce Cargo’s first single since the ‘Paradise’ EP in 2021. The song explores the themes of isolation in a crowded room, loss of faith and community, and existentialism.

The song is entirely independently produced by Luce Cargo.

Falling From Aeroplanes – “A Perfect Day”
Country: Sweden
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: The song was an effort to make a straight rock sound with heavy 90s influences, like Foo Fighters, Nirvana. It’s about going your own way in a modern society, when everyone is occupied with deciding on who’s wrong and who’s right in this world. The song is an effort in trying something with a heavier edge to it than what we usually do- trying to challenge ourselves in the creative process.

Drama Dolls – “Sometimes You Gotta Be A Bitch”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: On “Sometimes…”, Drama Dolls come out the gate swinging and screaming atop a classic chugging punk train like it’s 1978 all over again. It’s a perfect balance of fury and thrashing with crystal clear harmonies that leaves no doubt they are here to make some freakin’ music that gets your blood pumping and limbs moving. The band says it best: It’s an expression of female power in times of adversity. And, well, sometimes you just have to be a bitch.

Bristlecone Heed – “Follow Me”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “This is our short, punky, grungy, poppy song. If there was a music video for it, it’d show a person in a post-apocalyptic world going mad, dressing up like a clown, and posing all the dead skeletons in his neighborhood doing what they would normally do if they were living: walking the dog, mowing the lawn, sunbathing, etc. The clown meets a skeleton he likes. She has ribbons in her hair. They date and they bicker like a normal couple.”

Scoobert Doobert – “Gemini”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: Approaching escape velocity, Scoobert Doobert’s new single “Gemini” exhibits keenness for creating what’s ahead of what’s happening. Receiving flattering offers from larger music outfits than the upstart he’s a day one of, his commitment to loving music is undeniable. His weekly podcast Love Music More includes insights from guests like songwriter Alex Delicata (Beyoncé, Rihanna), Dominic Fallacaro (music director of the Max Martin inspired “& Juliet” on Broadway) and bassist Bubby Lewis (Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Stevie Wonder) just to name his previous few.

Ben Cutler – “Break The Ice”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “I wrote the song based on the classic rule, “Don’t bore us, get to the chorus.” I believe Break the Ice meets this test and it is my favourite release to date. It captures the thought process that sometimes there’s no substitute for jumping in at the deep end and not looking back.”

Ryan Wayne – “Maybe I’m To Blame”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: The seeds of the song “Maybe I’m To Blame” were recorded many years ago during an impromptu, late night, writing session with one of Wayne’s old friends, Dave Celia. It sat dormant and lyricless for many years and was revived during Wayne’s stroke recovery. Kelley McCrae, who is featured on many tracks on the record, added a beautiful harmony later in the process to help complete the song. “During my initial recovery, I was only able to work in small blocks of time, but it’s amazing how those small blocks add up,” explains Ryan Wayne. “You can accomplish a lot in 15 or 20 minutes if you set the intention. I also learned, simply, that music heals.”
