    BLONDEKING – “EVERYTHING”

    “When I wrote this song, I was struggling a little bit in my career. I had been doing really great and was on a team I loved. But after we got acquired the working environment became unbearable. Dishonesty, politics, and a mean-spirited environment erupted around me and I felt this immense pressure to push through…

    THE OXFORD DRIVE BAND – “LONG WAY HOME”

    “I think first and foremost I think of myself not necessarily as a women artist but as a human trying to connect with myself through music. A shared journey through music is something so much bigger than myself and because music is truly the universal language how powerful that is to create something that can…

  • SCARLET MILL – “PORT HENRY”

    SCARLET MILL – “PORT HENRY”

    “The pier our boat was tied upon broke in two parts. Things went really bad, we barely managed to save the boat. This frightening experience thus nicely set the scene for the tale to be told on the forthcoming album.” – Scarlet Mill

  • DRIVING SOUTH – “DOG TRAP ROAD”

    DRIVING SOUTH – “DOG TRAP ROAD”

    “This EP has really captured our live, at times imperfect sound. We know we could have found a polished vocalist and spent time on overdubs, but then it wouldn’t be a Driving South EP” – Jürgen Joarder

  • FEEL TRIP – “FAME”

    FEEL TRIP – “FAME”

    “What first time listeners can expect from our music is high energy, unique, quirky, hard hitting rock, with fun/positive undertones. It’s never been an inclination of ours to spread any serious/political messages – we’re just having fun, and we want the audience to as well.” Feel Trip

  • SWEET GIANT – “Til You’re Blue”

    SWEET GIANT – “Til You’re Blue”

    “‘Til You’re Blue’ is a laid-back sunny day song. A feel good energy perfect for a road trip. The guitars are rooted in the 70s with a country twang following a casual dolewave groove, uplifting yet easy going. Lyrically honest and cheeky, It’s the ‘don’t worry, keep moving’ attitude for when things aren’t going your…

  • LUCAS BURN – “SOUL SEARCH”

    LUCAS BURN – “SOUL SEARCH”

    “It was Saturday. I sat down and started making the beat. The main idea was to make a soulful hip-hop track. So, I have started with vocals, laid them down together to make that particular vibe. It already sounded interesting to me. Then, I made the beat around it. I added a strings line. Yeah,…

  • MY FRIEND THE CHIMPANZEE – “I LOVE THIS PLACE”

    MY FRIEND THE CHIMPANZEE – “I LOVE THIS PLACE”

    “Even though at times people turn earth into hell for each other, there is no place we’d rather be. The lyrics contrast our love for this world and all the beautiful things in it with the revulsion we feel for the violence and destruction caused by humans.” – MFTC

    Chris Caulfield’s somber and seductive “Feelings”

    “The brain can go into “protect” mode after periods of intense anxiety or stress, like a shutoff. During a highly challenging time last year, I noticed these periods where I’d feel numb, or empty, following these moments. On one hand, the calm was welcome, free from the anguish felt in the moments prior – but…

  • Year Of The Fist – “50ft Queenie”

    Year Of The Fist – “50ft Queenie”

    Year Of The Fist comes straight at us with a brutal, overdriven cover of the goddess’, PJ Harvey, prodigal 1993 track. Overdriven and with a cero-fuck-given attitude just like its predecessor, this new track recorded live marks their last single off their 7″ release from DCxPC Live. If you don’t know about Year Of The…

  • Iann Brennan – “Mission To Mars”

    Iann Brennan – “Mission To Mars”

    As the song advances, the not-so-subtle changes smack right in our face with a go-for-it attitude. With just a bit of aggression the bass makes its appearance and melodic guitars fill the spaces with echoes and warm reverbs.
