The Lightning Struck – “Inbetweening”
Country: Toronto
Genre: Folk
Words From the Artist: One night while he was walking home from an open mic, Davie became fascinated with the unknown stories of everyone passing around him, and he got to thinking how much of life is spent in transitional moments between events. In some way it’s the “real” life we fail to acknowledge. Their song “Inbetweening” is about those moments that happen between what we think of as events – walking from one place to the next, waiting for something. Generally these happen when you’re alone, and it’s in these moments that self-reflection happens – when we give ourselves permission to think about what things actually mean.

Little Fang – “Resolving Sound”
Country: New Zealand

Resolving Sound voices the hope that you can make just one resonant piece of music.

TwoMinutesHate – “2249 Days”
Country: Norway
Genre: Punk
Words From the Artist: From the very first butterflies to the ashes of the aftermath; the latest single from Oslo pop punkers TwoMinutesHate mourn a relationship up in flames and all the days wasted in the process. 2249 Days, to be exact, which happens to be the name of the song as well. Guitar solos that blow slobbery kisses to Brian May meet snarling vocals, while the lyrics range from scathing to surprisingly vulnerable. 2249 Days is a heartbreaking banger about having loved and lost and kinda never wanting to do it again.

Mike & the Nerve – “Fool’s Gold, False Idols”
Country: US
Genre: Rock
Words From the Artist: “Fool’s Gold, False Idols” is about the compelling nature of public figures, struggling with the concepts of “heroes” and “villains”, those we choose to worship or condemn, and the consequences we face as a result. Coming off the release of our previous song “The Last Day of Summer”, we wanted our next single to show a different side of our sound. “Fool’s Gold” is a bit more aggressive and concise, and we’re really happy with how it translated in the recording, cover art and music video.”
