Big Mountain Country – “Going Down”

Country: Italy

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: Written in a single breath during a lightning-fast session, in those rare moments when creativity flows effortlessly and authenticity reigns, “Going Down” delivers a jolt of high-kicking thrills. BMC say about the song: “We wanted to thrust the listener deep into the metropolitan nightscape, where a relentless and frenetic rhythm takes over, enveloping everything in a synthetic, alienating texture. The night itself is the hysterical protagonist of the song. It is a landscape of fear, neon flickers and speeding cars tearing through the streets. It is a tale of shattered promises, empty pockets and failures, where the only release is a howl into the high-octane blur of the abyss.

Jonathan Citrin – “Call Off The Dogs”

Country: US

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “It’s about finding true love. The search is over. Call off the dogs, because I found her. I found the one.”

Stay Shut – “Last Common Sense”

Country: Sweden

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Last common sense is quite a raw and straight forward punk rock song. The lyrical theme circles around the frustration of living in a time when people are ready to let authoritarian leaders take control.”

Sweetest Friend – “Make It Count”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Make It Count” is a high-energy pop punk anthem with poetic lyrics and a modern twist on early 2000s sounds—a powerful, compelling reminder to live life fully.”

Levi Evans – “BRIGHT”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”BRIGHT” delivers a powerful message, echoing Levi’s experiences of struggling to focus in traditional classroom settings—a theme many can relate to. With its playful vibe and energetic spirit, the song serves as a bold anthem, challenging the outdated norms of education. It’s a big middle finger to the constraints of the past, embracing individuality and celebrating the unique strengths that come with being neurodivergent.”

A Deer A Horse – “Counted As A Dog”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Metal

Words From the Artist/PR:  “The lyrics of Counted As a Dog are about growing up in a very religious environment. I spent my youth resisting and rejecting the religious education I was receiving, thinking that I got away unscathed, only to find out in my late 20s that I was deeply closeted and in denial about my sexuality. The indoctrination was so compelling and insidious that it took me 28 years to even realize the truth about myself. It became a prison for me, and I still struggle with the deeply internalized shame that was instilled in me via my religious upbringing. “A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog, but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord.” I would much rather be counted as a dog than go back to the half-realized person that I used to be.”

Dinerboy – “Bleed”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “A hardcore tune that we love, blending a few of our inspirations altogether. It’s a fun bop incorporating our love for weird samples, mean riffs, and heavy tones. “

The Bedroom Guys – “Cologne”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “this song has an angry/overthinking vibe to it. It was made to be an angry breakup song”

bodyWash. – “aWake”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Metal

Words From the Artist/PR:  “aWake is our attempt of making the music our 12 year old selves would’ve died to make. Modern nu-metal revival”

Words From the Artist/PR: ” It is about figuratively washing away certain aspects of how we live both personally and as a collective that burden us.”
