Sara Niemietz – “Locks”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “The bluesy “Locks” captures the bittersweet side of getting through life challenges. Here, Sara’s rich and sultry vocals imbue the song with a sense of burnished hope befitting the lyrics. One choice passage reads: Who’ s that looking out from the mirror/A little bit leaner, meaner/She figured it out/Can’t believe what I see/It’s almost hard to believe/This other side of the street I’m standing on. The seductively soulful “I Want You” boasts psychedelic organ drenched in Echoplex, and Sara’s sweetly gritty vocals. Her words here smolder as she sings: Whatever you’re doing, just keep doing it/I want the colors and the sounds of your love/All the power of your love/I can’ t, I can’ t, I can’ t get enough.”
Alter Apex – “Not Your Time”
Country: US
Genre: Hard Rock
From the Artist: “Alter Apex (US) pairs sounds rooted in the golden era of grunge with modern alt metal stylings. Drawing influence from contemporaries (Beartooth, Crobot, Seether) as well as nostalgic grunge acts (Alice in Chains, Soundgarden). Their latest offering, Not Your Time, the bands 8th official release, speaks to the epidemic of suicide in American culture. Mixed by producer Joe Marsh (UK). This catchy tune finds Alter Apex further exploring both their hard rock and pop sensibilities. “
Emiliano Ortiz – “A Man Like Me”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
From the Artist: “‘A Man Like Me’ is about the vulnerability after a break up, the threat of feeling like you can be easily replaced by someone new. An ode to try and build ones ego back up after feeling it shattered to pieces, “they aint got the soul you loved in me, so what a waste, your last mistake, trying to replace a man like me”.
BIG SPECIAL – “SH!THOUSE”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “‘SH!THOUSE’ Is the first offering from the bands hotly anticipated second EP ‘BLACK COUNTRY GOTHIC’ which is set to be released this Autumn. A visceral assault on softer dispositions; a collision of skull-crunching guitars, head-wobbling synths and face-belting drums. Couple this with darkly humorous observations of personal mental struggle in a time of social anxiety and depression, and you’ve got ‘SH!THOUSE’ “

The Shell Collector – “Miracles”
Country: Italy
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: “”Miracles”, first single and album opener, skyrockets featuring elements of thick metal riffs and melodic vocals all the way to groovy instrumental funk in odd claves and dissonance. The song introduces the hyperactive mood of the band and the lyrics are an atheist anthem that celebrates the acceptance of the death of god as the birth and flourishing of one’s self-awareness, a transmutation that happens by meeting one’s shadow.”

Laura Lang – “Bad Luck”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Pop
From the Artist: “Title track to my upcoming EP! It’s a fierce, sad song about falling in and out of relationships that are not good for me. I know I should not be in certain relationships for the right reasons , but I want to be in the relationships for all the wrong reasons. A more of a rocking fast paced tune and pointed lyrics that lets out frustration and anger that comes with getting close to someone and having it all falls apart and being out of control! Bad Luck was recorded at The Smoakstack in Nashville, Tn along another track Black Sedan. Produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch.”
Friday Pilots Club – “Never Say No”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From the Artist: ““’Never Say No’ came to be one long night in Chicago at the exact moment that I realized me and my ex were no longer good for each other. It stems from the fear of being the one who potentially lets a good thing go. It’s reminiscent of late nights and soured relationships; it’s everything you wanted to say to your ex but couldn’t at the moment you needed to most. We as a band have poured our blood, sweat, and tears into the dynamic ebb and flow of this song and we couldn’t be more excited for it to be out in the world.”
