da nang – “eye for an eye”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Fuelled by life’s ugly endings, Eye for an Eye is a classic revenge song that points the middle finger both outward, and inward. Anthemic, upbeat and punk influenced, the song should get you moving your feet, or maybe running your mouth

Dave Belding – “Factions In Your Feed”

Country: US

Genre: Grunge

Words From the Artist: This track blends a few styles of rock with some progressive elements. It gets into the topic of how main stream news media found its way in to social media to stir the pot and get people to interact with others negatively for the sake of creating more revenue. Instrumentally it’s a really fun song with some interesting riffs.

Good Time Locomotive – “A New Beginning”

Country: UK

Genre: Indie Rock

Words From the Artist: Good Time Locomotive (GTL); formed with one aim in mind; to write exceptional, unique, yet accessible songs with a whacking great emotional punch, and help people get back to having a good time in life! A new beginning is a raucous pop rock anthem about a couple who find love through a life of excess, but start to realize that the party can’t last forever!

Hoagie – “The Karaoke Legend”

Country: US

Genre: Americana

Words From the Artist: “The Karaoke Legend” is the emotional centerpiece of Other Folks, my forthcoming LP set for release on September 29, 2023. It describes a folk hero with whom everyone should be familiar, the ringer at the local karaoke night. The Karaoke Legend doesn’t write their own songs or have a band of their own, but their love for music is deep and all-consuming. Although they can sometimes be the subject of ridicule for how seriously they take the pastime, this song is a tribute to their passion and talent, and an appreciation of the joy they bring to us all simply by embracing their own.

Balloon Snake – “Death Match King”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Sometimes life, work and relationships make it feel like you’re a hardcore death match wrestler. DMK is a song about open willingness to take on whatever TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) come your way. Nothing easy is ever worth doing, right?

Daytime TV – “Block Out The Noise”

Country: UK

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “This is our anthem for drowning out the chaos”, comments vocalist Will Irvine on the track, “It’s about choosing your own path and not letting negative influences control your life. We live in such a loud world with constant information overload, it’s hard to focus on the things that make you who you are. It’s a song for everyone trying to rise above the voices that say ‘you can’t’ or ‘you’re not good enough”.

Sandra Bouza – “Sit By The Fire”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: “I think it’s really a song about burnout, in any industry or lifestyle, just trying to fit everything in all at once,” says Sandra. “And you always have this voice in the back of your head, or maybe a friend or influence telling you to slow down.”

Grinch Simpson – “Jinxed”

Country: Canada

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: Jinxed is the third single from Grinch Simpson’s upcoming sophomore album, No Vacancy. It expresses the feelings of personal struggle with ups and downs until it escalates out of control.

the world famous – “Everyday Fear”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: New single Everyday Fear perhaps most clearly demonstrates the breadth of songwriting talent on display here. There’s a breezy-yet-prominent sense throughout that this song has been through filter after filter; that these songwriters rejected more ideas than they accept, forging something multifaceted and special. The end result is layered but light, featuring three guitars weaving and bouncing around each other; it’s complex but never feels that way, and there are lots of treats and flourishes hidden throughout for any listener willing to lend a shred of attention to the earworm melodies that abound.

Goldschatz – “Gemini”

Country: Switzerland

Genre: Folk Rock

Words From the Artist: GEMINI, the second single from the new EP turns inward, like a rainy day inside the van. Written after taking shelter at a rest stop pub where the pair, with a stroke of luck, found themselves at a drag show.
