Under the Puddle – “30 Dayz”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “The song was written from the inspiration and memory of the legendary band Lynyrd Skynrd. This song is our way of tipping our hat to a band that has paved the way for musicians like us.”

SANDS – “Through This Avenue”

Country: UK

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Through This Avenue” is a track that’s as melodic as it is hypnotic, another stellar stand-out from Sands’ new album, The World’s So Cruel — out October 13th via Temporary Wisdom. The new single is a tribute to 13th Floor Elevators and Roky Erikson, a songwriting hero of Sands’. Putting an emphasis on dreamy, uplifting power-pop filtered through his penchant for classic American AM radio and imagery, Sands’ timeless, hook-laden sound is also steeped in the best of post-punk and new wave — with that sonic attitude coursing throughout smart, introspective songwriting and hazy production.

Shoulder Season – “Why Would I?”

Country: Canada

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: When the world feels like a burning hellscape, sometimes it’s good to think of the times when you got into some shenanigans and turn that into a pop song. Why not?

Artio – “Wallflower”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Leeds Gen-Z queer alt-rockers Artio unveil electronica-infused new single ‘Wallflower’ – a fierce modern-rock anthem that channels the likes of PVRIS and WARGASM whilst championing creating boundaries to protecting yourself from toxic relationships. Previously supported by Kerrang!, Upset Magazine, Rock Sound and Gigwise plus multiple BBC Radio 1 plays via Introducing Rock and Future Alternative, Artio join South Arcade as main support on their September UK tour!

The House of Jed – “Coming Off Pretty”

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A few sentences about “Coming Off Pretty”: Imagine an entitled, bratty teenager. Now imagine that teenager is actually a country. Now imagine a song about that country.”

Bad Flamingo – “White T Shirt”

Country: US

Genre: Folk

Words From the Artist/PR: “White T Shirt” is hands running through tall grass, a slow motion backyard trampoline “the storms are still wet and the summers still hot”

Too Close For Comfort – “Smother”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “I wrote this song about how you never know what is going to happen in the future and how when bad things happen to you in life that you wish the world would just stop and let you rest but the world truly stops for no one. I wrote this when my step-mother passed away unexpectedly near the end of 2022. This is a pop punk song that was written by Too Close For Comfort and Casey Cavaliere. It has strong elements of drums, guitars, bass, and vocals. We tried hard to really dig deep lyrically on this one and are really happy to show the world this song!”

Deap Vally – “Baby I Call Hell”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “‘Baby I Call Hell’ is quintessential Deap Vally. It was the first song we ever wrote as a band, so it’s very meaningful to our story. Re-recording that song was a lot of fun, but also a lot of pressure because we wanted to make sure the recording captured the magic of the song again.”

Lauren Lakis – “Leave Your Window Open”

Country: US

Genre: Shoegaze

Words From the Artist/PR: Called “Leave Your Window Open”, the song is “your typical love song (with a vampiric twist); if you were to call, I would leave whoever I was with, I would depart whatever place I was in, I would drop everything I’m doing and return to you. My life belongs to you. Leave your window open, for me,” confides Lauren. In the music video Lauren plays a reluctant vampire. She shares, “She suffers when she stalks, she suffers when she doesn’t stalk; only deriving pleasure and satisfaction through the consumption of blood. But she doesn’t want to kill anyone! A monster with a conscience.”

4DAYWKND – “Carpe Diem”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: Carpe Diem is a high energy rock song tailored for those who love a great time. Centered around a catchy guitar riff, this tune is bound to get you off your feet!
