Red Light Acid Test – “Little Death”

Country: UK

Genre: Grunge

Words From the Artist/PR: “Little Death is a dark hearted song for all romantics. Built around a heavily fuzzed staccato guitar rhythm, weighty low end groove and seductive crooned vocals. The lyrics explore the themes of attraction, desire & lust, and the thin line between. The song implies that ‘sex is a big deal – no big thing’ at the same time. Where there is consent and desire; it shouldn’t be scorned – where there isn’t; it costs the victim.”

PUNKTUALS – “How’m I Gonna Go?”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “”How’m I Gonna Go,’ lays bare the album’s foundational existential dread, musing on life’s final options for an exit. It is on this final single that the very essence of the anonymous collective breathes most fiercely, revealing a well-defined identity. Strip away the egos, agendas, glamour, and fashion, and what remains is a vital core still yearning for the twisted magic that made every life-filled moment worthwhile in the first place. In the final moments, these experiences can mean so much – or, sadly, so little.”

murdermart – “LOSER”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “We wrote LOSER over the course of a few months. The first and the last verse (the beginning of the song and the end) were tracked during a time where a lot was changing. The world felt extremely heavy and each member of the band was dealing with their own changes. Nothing felt like it was lining up, things were started and left unfinished, there was a general disconnect. Something happened during that session though; the creation of this song seemed to burst that dam and was the first moment in a while where everything felt like it was supposed to. When moments like this hit the band, we capitalize off of the energy and start as many ideas as we can. In that same weekend we wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered “STOP!” and “4U.” “LOSER” set us on fire, and in a lot of ways it was the birth of this entire project.”

ARK IDENTITY – “SIT”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Toronto alternative artist and producer ARK IDENTITY (Noah Mroueh) releases “SIT,” a defiant, euphoric, and anthemic new wave-inspired alternative pop single that confronts the relentless noise of modern life with an unexpectedly simple message: stop, breathe, and think for yourself. Propulsive rhythms, shimmering synths, and escalating intensity turn exhaustion with political division, social media outrage, and relentless news cycles into a rallying cry for empathy, clarity, and independent thought. Inspired by the constant barrage of outrage, opinion, and polarization that defines everyday life, “SIT” emerged from Noah’s growing frustration with a world that rarely leaves room for reflection. “Politics, racism, sexism, social media, people constantly arguing, the news, algorithms,” he explains. “It feels like there’s almost no space to just think for yourself anymore. ‘SIT’ came out of that frustration.”

Words From the Artist/PR: “Indie rock with sonic textures”

CAN’T STOP TALKING – “Bull in a China Shop”

Country: UK

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “Bull in a China Shop is a swaggering punk rock shuffle about what happens when you don’t fit the mould and how everyone else decides that makes you dangerous. It’s the sound of an outsider embracing the chaos, contradiction and trouble that comes with being different: part alienation, part rebellion, and part wicked grin at a world that never quite knew what to do with him.”

Allegories – “Pure Comedy”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is the song that I think best represents our new album,” Adam explains. “There are elements from many different iterations of the song still in there, and sonically, it feels like it touches on the kaleidoscope of sounds and genres that the record eventually became.”

BRENNA – “Way It Goes”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Metal

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Way It Goes” blends aggressive, detuned riffs of Nu Metal with intimate, electronic alt-pop vocals of Billie Eilish. Written and produced completely independently, we made this track to bridge the gap between heavy breakdown energy and mainstream pop sensibility, featuring dynamic shifts from mellow singing, to rapping to screaming, and blending them seamlessly.”
