Button The Busker – “Had To Go”

Country: US

Genre: Punk

Words From the Artist: “The song is called Had to Go. It is a punk rendition of a song I wrote on the one man band. I am a traveling busker. The song is about leaving home and the hard traveling that comes with the territory. Missing home but knowing you had to leave for the better.”

Super Ghost – “Complacent”

Country: Australia

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: “Complacent is a heartfelt reflection on those moments in life when we find ourselves stuck in the comfort of the familiar, even if it’s far from fulfilling. This song allowed me to express the mixed emotions of nostalgia and regret while also igniting a spark of hope for a better future.”

Merit Maker – “Mixed Messages”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “A song heavily influenced by late 90’s, early 00’s pop punk and emo. Lyrically it deals with the confusion in the mixed messages that we often receive from people especially when it comes to romance and love affairs. We don’t always know exactly where we stand. And we’re struggling for a way to get answers, to make sense of things in life in general.”

Luke Seymoup and La Famiglia – “Having A Bad Time, Having A Ball”

Country: Australia

Genre: Punk

Words From PR: “Crack my head open, I got my bain boken,” Luke Seymoup wails on “Having A Bad Time, Having A Ball,” the first single featuring his new project, La Famiglia… but what is his “bain” and why is it “boken?” Melbourne’s most prolific man in Punk has deviated from his usual combination of Indie-Punk and PowerPop to embrace his early love of 1980s Hardcore Punk. Channeling the breakneck tempos and blazing guitars of those classic acts, La Famiglia tear through a blistering 100 seconds of red-hot hardcore, unlocking an entirely new quality in Seymoup’s voice. In this new environment, the diminutive paesan with the huge voice transforms into the Australian lovechild of Dag Nasty’s Dave Smalley and FEAR’s Lee Ving.

Eyesore & the Jinx – “Nocturnal Athletes (Ode to Bruno)”

Country: UK

Genre: Post-punk

Words From the Artist:  “Bruno Mars and I go way back. Our relationship began in mid-2021, shortly after the death of my mother which was followed by a period of ill-health and what was in hindsight a breakdown. I joined a gym in a feeble attempt to somehow rebuild myself and grip some structure which had evaded me like a wet bar of soap. In order to avoid the kind of people I’d always told myself occupied gyms, I began exercising very late at night alongside shift workers, competitive bodybuilders and other similarly self-conscious weight lifters. It was there that me and Bruno met. His porcelain smile, slick dance moves and sustained success beaming down at me from the Pure Gym TV screens, a stark contrast to the wasteland my life had become at that time. I’d like to say that I took great comfort in Bruno and his music during those intervening months. I didn’t. Time did its thing, and I moved on. But he was always there, a singular, gyrating constant, looming over me whilst I struggled to lift 10kg dumbbells. .”

Alonso Madero – “Broke As Hell”

Country: US

Genre: Garage Rock

Words From the Artist: “It’s a song about the struggles of working blue collar jobs and having dreams of making it as an artist!”

DIN NYC – “Better Than Nothing”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “Better Than Nothing” is the second single from DIN NYC suggesting an unrequited yet fulfilling love; an upbeat number echoing influences from the 80’s and 90’s alternative jangle pop of The Replacements, The Lemonheads, and Oasis as well as classic influences like Tom Petty and 70’s era Rolling Stones.

Young Robot – “Party Down”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: This is the 4th single from Nashville based alternative/prog/pop/whatever band Young Robot. After it tingles your ears with tasty riffs, the boys let loose on a journey through the notion of constant and repetitive celebration within a society crippled by its own anxiety and shortcomings. Despite these undertones, the song remains a fun romp through both the expected and unexpected as the guitars jump out at you around catchy hooks. This is your end of summer anthem! Going up? Party Down.

Leatherette – “Ronaldo”

Country: Italy

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From PR: Following their incendiary 2022 debut album ‘Fiesta’, Bologna’s Leatherette announce the delivery of an even more provocative and sophisticated record with the follow-up, ‘Small Talk’. Emboldened by the acclaim won by ‘Fiesta’, ‘Small Talk’ finds Leatherette breaking free of the post-punk straitjacket some were keen to strap them in, indulging their love of wild noise and twisted pop. The new album will be released on 3rd November via Bronson Recordings. Today they release the first single ‘Ronaldo’, a song that explodes in jazz and shoegaze elements, a desperate scream that leads to new romantic riffs, a tormented sax solo and melancholy vocals. A tune of inspired action and emotional turbulence, that talks of separation and of deep malaise.

Centershift – “The Ride”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “The Ride is about speaking to a loved one that has passed, and never getting to say the Words. Don’t take time for granted” – Jasan Radford / Guitar-Vocals
