Christine Savard – “Crossroads”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This track blends reverb-drenched guitar with vintage soft vocals for a cool indie vibe. Also features a melodic hook that captures a mix of introspective self-reflect and lovelorn nostalgia.”

Jari Salmikivi – “Illusions of Truth”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Illusions of Truth is an anthem against all the desinformation, propaganda, lies and “alternative facts” we are presented with on a daily basis from all the Trumps and Putins of this world on social media and in the news.”

Cat Ridgeway – “Epilogue”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Epilogue” is an in your face stomp and holler-esque punk rock explosion, hinging off a recklessly played overdriven banjo. The single introduces her upcoming album Sprinter, out Spring 2025. Self-described by Ridgeway as “indie rock for overthinkers” her music is a fiery blend of indie-rock and punk with hints of dream pop and folk. Though “Epilogue” is the only true punk song on the album, it firmly cements Ridgeway as an artist you need to know. “

Doom Fever – “Fluorescent Heart”

Country: Netherlands

Genre: Shoegaze

Words From the Artist/PR: “This track marks the beginning of my musical journey, blending influences from bands like Big Bite, Hotline TNT, Narrow Head, and Modern Color. With boomy drums, dreamy chords, and minimal vocals, it captures a raw, emotional essence, exploring personal themes through a sonic mix of alternative rock and shoegaze. This song is both an homage to the sounds I love and a statement of my creative vision. I hope it resonates with listeners who appreciate the genre’s depth and atmosphere.”

idiot. – “MNBNH”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “MNBNH is a high energy song about finding a new lease on life. It features short but heavy drops and provides a constant driven bass line.”

Super Big – “Mandy’s”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““Mandy’s” is an electrifying indie rock anthem that captures the youthful thrill of heading to a house party. With driving power-pop energy and a lot of heart, this track pulses with the excitement and recklessness of teenage adventure. Its catchy hooks and infectious spirit make it a feel-good jam perfect for curators looking to energize their playlists with a touch of nostalgia.”

Great Mistakes – “Outta Luck”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The short version of this song’s story is that it is the first song we have written together in over 20 years. We started as a high school band called “Always Outnumbered” and released a handful of records with the German Punk Label ‘Two Friends Records.’ Flash forward 20+ years and we decided to try it again under the new name “Great Mistakes.””

Justin Webb & The Noise – “Somewhere Between”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““Somewhere Between” is a song I first had when I was around 19 years old. It’s one of the first songs I remember playing for friends and them asking for a recording of it so they could pass it around. I’ve had that recording for years, and it’s a song that always lingered in the back of my mind that I should try to complete. When our band formed, I pulled the song out in practice and it instantly clicked for everyone. I love Bryan’s drumming on the track and feel like his energy helped us find the right groove for the song throughout the verses and through the climatic ending. “

Yearning For Distortion – “You”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A song with attitude and a little bit of darkness”

Loser Demon – “Business Days”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Business Days” was an accident (hence “and then I made a mistake”) in trying to write a different song. But, as the song goes on, the artist learns to appreciate creating something unexpected.”

Friends With Boats – “Dysfunctional”

Country: Germany

Genre: Skate Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “The song’s about how you can get stuck in relationships and sometimes it may be hard to find a way out. …and in families sometimes it may be a solution to come to terms with the status quo.”
