Beltalowda – “One Nation (Under The Gun)
Country: US
Genre: Punk
From The Artist: “Written in response to the national epidemic of school shootings, One Nation (Under The Gun) is an unfortunate anthem for America. But you know, catchy.

Kylland – “Good Luck, Kid (Knock On Wood)”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “The song was inspired by Lily Forester, the flame-haired young woman who stars in our HBO series, THE ANARCHISTS. Lily fled to Mexico after being arrested for marijuana in Ohio — a state that is still incarcerating non-violent offenders for cannabis-related charges. Facing a heavy prison sentence, Lily instead chose the unknown and drove south where she and her then partner planned to build a new life under pseudonyms in Acapulco, Mexico — a place known equally for its tropical glamor and chaotic, cartel-run local government.”
LECTOR. – “Cornea”
Country: Belgium
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “CORNEA is a song about the finiteness of life. Only when we can deal with vulnerability and mortality, we’ll be able to fully enjoy our lives.”
Hunting – “Piano Fire”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
From The Artist: “Vancouver duo Hunting will release their third LP, You’ve Got Love (But it Even Tears You Apart), November 11 via Nevado Music. We’ll be announcing tomorrow with a first single, a cover of Sparklehorse’s “Piano Fire”… a tribute as well to Mark Linkous, whose 60th birthday would have been on Friday. The duo’s Jessicka also has a stop-motion animation studio, and created the video for the track.
headcage – “shrink”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “‘shrink’ is our third single as a band. The track is very much built around groove orientated riffs, constantly driving the song with their colossal sound and rhythmic flavour. Lyrically the track details a conversation with a psychiatrist, and lays bare the frustrations and doubts that occur while trying to better yourself.”
The Kid and I – “Free Falling”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “The Kid and I return with new single ‘Free Falling’ – a fast paced joyride through the pangs of anxiety and the fear of time running out. With loud drums and harmonies guitars and vocals – this is a continued development in the sound of The Kid and I. Combining absurdly comical lyrics under a driving bass line, ‘Free Falling’ is a track that takes you a on screeching journey from beginning to end.”
Telescreens – “Phone Booth”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “This song is an ode to the city of New York, where we are based. It highlights the fun, bold, and spontaneous nature of the city while admitting to the loneliness and grind that is inevitable. Through it all, it is an anthem for perseverance both individually and relationally (all I want is a friend being the main tagline). This is our lead single from our second album which is packed with jump around alt rock songs that are written to be enjoyed live.”
Meguro – “Gloria”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “Gloria is an upbeat indie rock song about what if’s and what could have been’s. How a simple glance across a room can send your imagination running wild, creating romantic movie scenes that send you day dreaming and keep you up at night. Meguro once again worked with producer Nixon Boyd, who helped refresh the lyrics and lend his signature indie rock touches to the arrangement.”
Lo-Fi Hero – “No Appetite”
Country: Germany
Genre: Indie Pop
From The Artist: “The whole project of Lo-Fi Hero is based on taking live performances then turning them into samples and resampling the parts in inventive ways. They want to show new ways of using modern technology in conjunction with old technology to create a new sonic landscape – in essence, making modern music on analog gear. “No Appetite” sees the duo channelling longing and foreboding heartache in their first release.”
Kue Varo – “Feelin’ Lucky”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
From The Artist: ““Feelin’ Lucky” paints a picture of the ebbs and flows of a really good day, all leading to a climactic release and repeat. There’s motivation and liberation through fearless fun and pleasure, pulling the threads of fortune a little closer, weaving them into reality. The song ends with a cathartic scream of “Nothing can stop me now!” at the top of Varo’s lungs, leading to a psychedelic climax.”
The This – “Your Dumb Hobby”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “Your Dumb Hobby” is the 2nd single off The This’ debut album “How Does It Feel When It’s Gone?” on Kingfisher Bluez records (Peach Pit, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard). It is about people who make being miserable their entire identity, and having it become their hobby nurturing their negativity.”
Sea State – “Electric Desire”
Country: Canada
Genre: Indie Rock
From The Artist: “Electric Desire is the latest single from Sea State. An upbeat and energetic track that effortlessly blends stadium sized guitars and deep propulsive synths with intimate live drums, acoustic guitars and electric piano; a clever nod to the 80’s yet firmly modern and “now”. The insanely catchy chorus lands with expansive and explosive sonic weight and energy. Deft vocal phrasing and emotionally resonant lyrics make this a bingeworthy track. Written, produced and performed by Sea State.”
Diver Through – “That Side Of Me Is Rage”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “This one speaks for itself. I was spending time in a place I didn’t want to be during a very divided time and I wrote a song to get the anger out. I wanted to open this record with a loud song since the last one (The Way We Were) opened with a dreamy instrumental. It worked out”.
Chris Mardini – “Throw”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
From The Artist: “Viscerally charged but intricately detailed, Mardini’s galvanizing brand of alt-rock fuses perfectly with his exploration of alienation and insecurity, self-sabotage and social pressure. “Throw” follows the release of Mardini’s previous singles “Shadows” and “Pockets, which highlighted his razor-sharp wordplay and quietly commanding vocal flow. “I feel like I owe it to myself and to the people listening to be as genuine as possible in my music”. “
Rooms – “What The World”
Country: Canada
Genre: Singer Songwriter
From The Artist: “What the world was written at the peak of lockdown; we were totally isolated with a new baby. We would just stare at each other in disbelief at our aloneness and the immense fear of being parents for the first time. The world seemed that much more horrifying. we would sing to each other “everything’s going to be ok” when we felt overwhelmed, which was too often”
