Oliver James Brooks – “Technologically Stoned”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: Technologically Stoned is an alt-folk-rock track inspired by the growing dependency on technology, and what that does to the general public in daily life and social settings. Living in a large city Brooks takes advantage of public transit to get to work, and it’s become increasingly difficult to not notice how the majority of people are stuck staring down at their phones. “The fact that our world is becoming more and more reliant on tech is scary, and I think it’s reached a point where it does more harm than good,” expressed Oliver. “I make a conscious effort to never look down at my phone while on transit, but if you choose to, I hope it’s because you’re watching the music video that goes along with this song.”

Mannequin Radio – “Rejection”
Country: Australia
Genre: Alt Rock

Talkless – “Farewell”
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: Throughout the video, Talkless is portrayed as both a knight in shining armor and a broken soul, drowning in self-destruction. This contrast helps to visualize the internal struggle of love and hate that comes with mental spirals. Talkless’ lyrics aim to convey the message that letting go is always the hardest part: “Set free from these ties that seem to haunt and bind you… I feel less when you’re gone.”

Scott Tournet – “Cadillac”
Country: US
Genre: Pop Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “Cadillac” starts with a fuzzed out guitar riff and a beat that would sound at home on a Pharrell production. The song focuses on two isolated teenagers who end up stealing a car and running away from the town where they grew up in but don’t feel connected to anymore. While lyrically it sounds like something you might hear off of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, this energetic track jumps out at the listener as it confidently marries modern production, vintage instrumentation, and singer songwriter storytelling. Recorded at Tournet’s home studio a little north of Baltimore, he recorded all the parts himself, mixed, and mastered the album (‘Rock & Roll Stories’) that this song starts off.

Shiny Red Nothing – “Baited Breath”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: This loud, quirky foursome, being genre-adverse, have declared their music “Blackgrass,” hence the title of their forthcoming 2024 studio album, the bands first studio production in its fifteen year history of DIY releases. BLACKGRASS’ first single “Baited Breath” is an exuberant ode to best friends, a crushing indie punk ear-worm with woo-woos and bah bahs best listened to loud, with a friend nearby!

Tom Heyman – “The Mission is on Fire”
Country: US
Genre: Singer Songwriter
Words From the Artist/PR: “Around the time that I wrote it, I had another record coming out that it wasn’t really right for, but I knew that it was going to fit squarely into the group of songs that make up my new record, 24th StreetBlues. It seems that San Francisco is in the news often these days and is struggling with all the things that an awful lot of cities are struggling with, but I deeply love my neighborhood – and most days I find it difficult to imagine living anywhere else.”

L.A. Edwards – “Peace Be With You”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From the Artist/PR: “I’d had a good melody and progression for a while, but was having a hard time finishing the lyrics. We got word that our Grandma was passing away while we were in session. We were in transit to say our final farewells but didn’t make it in time. We took some time off after that, and when we went back to the studio the first thing we did was finish writing the song. It only took about an hour. It’s a sendoff song for someone very dear.”
