madame psychosis “foxtail” RELEASED july 24th
Toronto-based alternative rock band Madame Psychosis is welcoming the warm weather with their latest single, “Foxtail,” is a short and sweet, no-nonsense pop rock song that delivers a compelling message about the daily grind.
It a fun summer song that invites you to roll down the windows, turn up the volume and sing along. The upbeat and catchy track encourages listeners to consider what truly matters in life – the pursuit of happiness and spending precious moments with loved ones. The cover art refers to the song’s lyrics “green eyes” and the idea of being green with envy.

“I started really thinking about how much of our lives we spend having to work at a job that for many of us is not fulfilling but ‘pays the bills,’ and how much we’d prefer following our passions or being with loved ones,” Michelle Mondesir, the band’s lyricist and lead singer.
replenished sky “jorneying astray” released july 12th
Dan Quin AKA Replenished Sky is a one-man band from Brisbane: “I began working on music properly in 2017 after dabbling in making little songs for school projects and remixes for friends. I felt like I had stories and melodies to show the world and I wanted to pursue something I love.”

distorted waves “harder they come” released july 05th
The Harder They Come was one of our first introductions to reggae music, when my roommate put on the movie in our smoke filled living room in Santa Cruz back in 2005. We were drawn in by the music and the culture, and from that moment on, nothing was the same. Through many years of discovering reggae, we came to the conclusion that more people need to listen to it and be aware of the powerful messages it contains. Our goal with Distorted Waves is to take these timeless themes and grooves commonly found in reggae and inject them with high energy rock that will hopefully open this beautiful genre up to larger audiences.

“Being a brand-new band that only started releasing in January of 2024, any shares or likes mean more in this time than you could know, and we appreciate all of you endlessly. If you think you know someone who may enjoy it, send them a track! Thank you!” Distorted Waves
TRENIC “ENCOUNTER WITH THE CRATURE” RELEASED JULY 04TH
Trenic is a home music project founded by a girl and a boy, who try to make interesting music, and they’re on the right pad.
One of the aims of our music is not to be over-sing, to have room for instrumental parts, although in this song has probably the least amount of independent music of all the others.
STREAM “ENCOUNTER WITH THE CREATURE” ON SPOTIFY NOW!
There is always a melancholy in our music, which comes through musically and in the lyrics. Usually we paint a strange situation that has no really good solution, you can only think about it. That’s been the case with all 3 of the songs we’ve released so far.
ORDER “ENCOUNTER WITH THE CREATURE” ON BANDCAMP NOW!
We’re trying to come up with a new song every month, which will be stylistically similar to the ones above. It will be simple: even if we wanted to do a different style, the end result will be like the ones we have now, that’s what we come up with 🙂
10 BILLION LOST “GAVE UP ON ME” RELEASED JUNE 27
10 Billion Lost rolls out their second single release, “Gave Up on Me”. Unlike the band’s first single, “Gave Up on Me” caters to a more classic 80s synth sound, with a touch of modern flavor in the vocal performance.
STREAM “” ON SPOTIFY NOW!
“It sounds mysterious, dreamy, calm yet solid. It tells a story of change and acceptance. While solitude has never sounded so profound, it’s not treated as a tragedy. Instead, 10 Billion Lost promotes it as a choice or a personal trait. “Gave Up on Me” is a dialogue between past selves and newfound strength, a soundtrack for those solitary walks under flickering streetlights.”
piglets ddeep forest “i’ll keep you warm” released dec 03rd 23
The music project “Piglets DDeep Forest” is the best example that dreams, which have been maturing for over 20 years, can finally come true! After so many years, the founder and composer of the band returned to the musical world: Adam “Multi” Paluch. As a young man, he played in various bands, where he recorded several songs and performed many concerts, but he never released an album with his own work. After graduation, he became a serious engineer and no longer had time for a musical adventure, but his dreams remained in his head.
STREAM “i’ll keep you warm” ON SPOTIFY NOW!
I’ll Keep You Warm is the seventh song on the album Deep in Time by the band Piglets Deep Forest. The song narrates the journey of the album’s main character, ‘Little Energy Quark,’ as it travels from a nuclear reactor to the home of every listener. This ballad is also dedicated to every listener who wants to warm their heart.
