Mo Keney – “From Nowhere”

Country: Canada

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: ““From Nowhere,” captures an unsettling yet dream-like feeling, as Kenney and their friend, keys player Siobhan Martin, depict Kenney’s childhood growing up in the “middle of nowhere” in Nova Scotia. “It happened to me, it happened to me like it happened to you,” Kenney gently calls during the song’s chorus over an eerie organ melody played by Martin.”

Fencer – “SUV”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Our new song SUV is a catchy pop rock song about needing to get away from remedial life for a bit and take a mental health break. We use the idea of taking a road trip in an SUV with somebody you care about as a metaphor for this.”

Cathedral Ceilings – “Nevermind the Helicopters”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist/PR: “The song is frantic and explosive, much like Henry Hill at the climax of Goodfellas—which the lyrics are inspired by, along with our penchant for quoting the movie incessantly in the tour van. B.A. [Miale, the mad scientist who created the video] did a phenomenal job capturing the off-the-rails spirit of the tune and throwing in some Goodfellas Easter eggs as well.”

Some Gifts – “WTFU”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “WTFU is a reaction to the onslaught of right wing moralists infecting mainstream culture with ignorance, and weaponizing religion to demonize the spectrum of sexual expression. The song’s opening lyrics seethe venom and insightful social commentary. Vic sings: Triggered by the sight of a rainbow, triggered by the truth/The ugly facts buried in a textbook, you can’t let your kids look/Because of what it says about you/Because it makes you uncomfortable. “I wrote the lyrics with the idea of ‘wokism’ being a good thing,” Vic says. “That not being awake to the social injustices and obvious scapegoating of marginalized peoples is akin to oversleeping and missing out on life.”

Haha Hear Hear – “Demons Don’t Sleep”

Country: Ireland

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A song about that annoying dream we all have from time to time when you keep waking up to realise you’re still dreaming. Or is it just me?”

The Virgos – “Miss September ’96”

Country: US

Genre: Rock 

Words From the Artist/PR: “Miss September ’96 is inspired by the local monster truck show Beauty Pageant. It’s a high-energy hard rock track influenced by the powerful riffs and hypnotic grooves of Queens of the Stone Age.”

Capricore – “J.A.F.A.”

Country: New Zealand

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “J.A.F.A. (just another f*cking Aucklander) is a punchy and rocky thematic track representing urban life in Auckland, New Zealand. The single contains a stylistic blend of alt-rock, rap, and post-punk.”

The Local Romance – “VALENTINE”

Country: Australia

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR:  “Raw, uncensored proof that human emotion and attraction can be beautiful but also harming. Filled with catchy hooks, heart-ripping lyrics and powerful instrumentals,’VALENTINE’ will leave you wanting more.”
