Single: Hubbell Benson – Born To Lose
The New Jersey brothers’ psych rock outfit’s new single is quirkily infectious in the best way.
Single
Single: Frog Fortress – Hardcore Band
A snotty, snarky punky song with it’s tongue firmly in cheek, “Hardcore Band” is a high-octane brainstorm of a song built around juxtaposition and dreams.
Single: Oh Doom! – How To Destroy Anything
Back with another methodical post-rock behemoth that’s more mantra than mere song, Oh Doom! are a force to be reckoned with.
Single: Still Bones – Long Way
These Baltimore bones are anything but still; the skeletons at Druid Ridge Cemetery are dancing, ‘cuz this track rocks!
Single: Mono Mochi – Cats
Folky and foreboding, the new tune from this Swiss quintet is a change of pace. Quietly beautiful and subtly mesmeric, it’s an off-kilter treat.
Single: Chi & Me x Peli Gene – Before You Were
Jangly and propulsive, the debut single from Chi & Me is a bit of a journey, but one that’s well worth going on.
Single: Thomas Prothero – Quiet Life
A song of two halves comprised of analogue warmth, creamy guitars, pulsating synths and a surprise explosion, Prothero has outdone himself yet again.
Single: lazybed – acquaintance
Macau-based songwriter Richard Winstanley channels assorted rock greats on the debut single from his new DIY lo-fi project.
Single: Raine – Summer Rain
Raine’s always been good at capturing relationships, and her new single “Summer Rain” – sounding like a gentle breeze – isn’t any different.
Single: Birds? – Over It
Birds? is here to remind the world that Pennsylvania is, and shall remain, the beating heart of fourth wave emo.
Single: Colourwash – Frogman
“Frogman”, the debut single from Colourwash, has the speed of punk, the effects/production elements of alt-rock, and the soul of 1990s/2000s emo.
Single: Frog – Dark Out
At once longing and unapologetic, “Dark Out” is yet another enchanting portrait from Frog. Like the band itself, it contains multitudes.
Single: Cult Caves – Tiny Figures
From little acorns of tragedy has grown this big beautiful indie tree. Full of emotion and earnestness, this is an incredibly touching tribute.
Single: Julez and the Rollers – I Don’t Know You
The new single from the LA rockerz and rollerz is so fun, it could serve as a theme song for an imaginary sitcom.
Single: Family Worship Center – Malibu by Midnight
The high-flying single from “rock and soul commune” Family Worship Center is a beautiful blend of can-we-call-it-disco, R&B, pop, and flirtation.
Single: Nixon Boyd – Trouble of Your Own
Nixon Boyd’s new single is a balancing act between subject matter and, to quote the kids, “vibes.”
Single: Silk – Clementine
The fuzzy guitars, pounding drums, and charming vocals on Silk’s new single create a triumphant harmony of noise and depth.
Single: Honey I’m Home – Pretty
The Dutch punkers press on the shoegaze and ’90s grunge in a send-up to “prettiness” as a replacement for personality.
Single: Orange Doors – Gizmo Gadget
Opening with jaunty guitar, “Gizmo Gadget” erupts into big, energetic noise-making.
Single: Viruette – SWAYA
“Red-blooded” funky indie from Boston-based trans-Atlantic rockers gets the blood pumping ahead of their new album.
