The Mars McClanes – “GO!”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “”GO!” is the new single from Portland alt-rockers The Mars McClanes. Sung from the perspective of a silver-tongued salesman, the track lures you in with the promise of a life of your dreams … as long as you’re willing to sign, press hard, and pay a small fee. A driving drumbeat and gritty vocals push the song forward, blending Portland’s grunge spirit with an anthemic urgency that makes “Go!” impossible to resist.”

Great Wealth – “I Don’t Want To Remember You”
Country: Canada
Genre: Garage Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “From the first 30 seconds with the synth intro, this song will grab you and have you wondering what year it is. Retro, new, raw with emotions and feelings, this is a song about loss and hope with frantic guitars, fuzzy bass, fierce drums, and melodic synth which will stay in your brain as an earworm for days. The song crystallizes the feeling of how one life can touch many others, and our connections to people can change us in ways we only realize when the connection is gone.”

Penny-Sleeve – “Ain’t Your Fault”
Country: Canada
Genre: Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Ain’t Your Fault is a high energy rock song about overcoming an abusive relationship, whether that be physical or emotional, a friendship or partnership.

The music video certainly helps encapsulate the high octane that the song delivers as well.”

Bonus Room – “Riot Gear”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Riot Gear takes us to the thick of Portland in 2020, when the streets were full of BLM protesters marching for George Floyd. Kicking off with the ambient sound of a chanting crowd (“The police are the aggressors!”), the song is a sludgy thumb-in-the-eye to thin-blue-liners and the way the news erroneously portrayed the city as a warzone — all while evoking CSNY’s “Ohio” if it was covered by David Byrne. “It reflects the tension and confusion of 2020 — when fear, anger, and misinformation were boiling over — and contrasts dark, aggressive rhythms with bright, melodic elements,” Lee says. “This one goes hard but still has a playful feel.”

Second Drive – “Failing Stars”
Country: Canada
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist/PR: “Failing Stars is a fast-paced, guitar-driven punk anthem that blends gritty garage rock with a tongue-in-cheek narrative. The vocals carry a smirking, almost laughing tone, as if the singer is in on the joke—telling the story of a band that can’t seem to get anything right. But beneath the humor lies a deeper message: even the most chaotic acts can find their audience.”

Radiator King – “Dream”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “”Dream”—the latest song to emerge from this new era of Radiator King—is a driving, radio-ready alt-rock anthem with thunderous drums, shimmering organ, an impassioned vocal performance and a guitar hook that won’t quit. The song is a classic tale from the seedy underbelly of Hollywood, but with a hopeful twist. Inspired by the sex workers who walk the streets near the band’s rehearsal space, it ruminates on the razor’s edge between success and failure, and on what leads people down different paths in life, while at once acknowledging the humanity in all our struggles, and never giving up on second chances and fresh starts.”

Big Band of Boom – “Earthquake”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: With thunderous riffs, punchy horn lines and a chorus built for festival fields, “Earthquake” threads together vivid tectonic imagery – aftershocks, fault lines, foundations failing—with a swaggering femme-fatale narrative. The result is a visceral anthem that feels like the floor shifting beneath your feet. “‘Earthquake’ is about that moment when chemistry hits like a plate-shift. It’s visceral, a little dangerous and impossible to ignore, so we made a tune that feels like the floor moving under your feet,” the band explain.
