Slipped off Silk – “Plane Song”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Plane Song” is meant to capture the melancholy, yet cathartic feeling that comes when you feel yourself moving on from the past and leaving behind an outdated version of yourself. As can be inferred from the title, the genesis of “Plane Song” occurred while on a plane, during a flight home from my best friend’s wedding.

Hughes – “Idaho”

Country: Canada

Genre: Folk

Words From the Artist/PR: Idaho is a follow up single to my debut EP, Here I Am (released in March 2023). It was written over the course of an about a year after I lost my father. It’s a reflection of his later life and how being afraid to be lonely ended up causing separation from those he loved the most. It was tracked in Yellowknife, NT at Old Stops Studios, mixed by Dan Ponich of Park Sound Studios in Vancouver, and mastered by Dave Collins in LA

WAASH – “There’s Never Enough Voices”

Country: Canada

Genre: Shoegaze

Words From the Artist/PR: The WAASH self-titled EP is anticipated on November 20th, consisting of five meticulously crafted tracks that showcase Andrew’s departure from his conventional songwriting process. Instead of relying on the guitar, he explored beats and basslines as starting points for his compositions. This approach allowed him to delve into minute details, crafting lyrics and melodies that intricately fit each song, including “There’s Never Enough Voices.” Despair and confusion swirl in the new single, which is about trying to come to an understanding about the intentions within your actions and the realization of your past mistakes.

Red Kate – “Home of the Slave”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: The second single off the upcoming LP Exit Strategy is a guitar-slashing, drum pounding punk rock indictment of American history and exceptionalism that asks the question, “If there is no justice, what’s the meaning of the truth?”

Cuvier – “Gold Standard”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  ” Gold Standard gets the kids going. It’s always fun to play live. I personally enjoy the lyrics to this one. And it being a blues song makes it more ironic.”

Dylan Seeger – “Pretender”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: I wrote “Pretender” as a reaction to the rise of AI-generated “art,” which uses language as a weapon to commoditize and devalue authentic human expression. The song is the second side of my upcoming double-single, Writer/Pretender.

Charts and Graphs – “Modern Trends”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Modern post punk song. Driving bass, earworm guitar riff with a squeeze of synth.

DINNERSWORTH – “Kill Me”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: This is a song about the feeling of striking out in intimate moments. It’s about having high hopes but in the end, not working up the courage to try. It’s about feeling totally defeated and doubting yourself completely.

JIMBO – “Ship I Can Sink”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Ship I Can Sink” is a cheeky take on a breakup song, and a literal pun on a “relation-ship.” Lyrically, the song tries to capture this realization and acceptance while shrouded in a generous dose of self-pity. This song, like many melodramatic numbers, is in response to a break up that Van Der Heyden experienced last summer. It is possible that a relationship, romantic or other, can bring out the worst in you and though you are committed and comfortable in a certain place with their company, the only way to make change is to sever that person from your life. To draw on “Ship I Can Sink,” Van Der Heyden felt as though during the relationship’s course that he had lost himself at sea and it was time that he went down with my ship.

Nightfvll – “Had Enough”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Had Enough is an indie rock song about how I have no luck at all. No matter how hard I try I am cursed for life and I have had enough. The use of heavy guitars, bass, and drums help convey my message.
