    9 O’Clock Nasty – “Rise Up”

    “The world is objectively a worse place. A scarier place. An increasingly threatening and uncomfortable place. Where are all the protest songs? Why are all the handsome and interesting looking rock stars not inciting the masses to resist? No, we don’t know either, but we have decided to do something about it. We are now…

  • Dialogic – “Fall From On High”

    Dialogic – “Fall From On High”

    “For many years I’ve been aware of my recurring dreams of falling. I know I’m not alone in this. Sometimes our dream world can be terrifying, but I believe that the mysterious messages contained in our dreams are ultimately positive. As we sleep and visit other worlds, we experience what we need to experience. Falling…

  • The Qwarks’ fun new track “Nice While It Lasted”

    The Qwarks’ fun new track “Nice While It Lasted”

    In grim times, the Qwarks search out moments of joy, riding on a wave of psychedelic joie de vivre with the backdrop of a barren wasteland of fragmented selfies and melting database columns. In the desert by a campfire they met the Reverend Zebadiah Hawkwind III who attempted to exorcise their demons through a heavy…

  • An Epic Cast: The Palfreyman Collective

    An Epic Cast: The Palfreyman Collective

    My overall assessment upon hearing the album is that it is just as advertised. The first thing that comes to mind is Rock Opera. Operatic in the sense of over-the-top performance and dramatics. Anyone who has an ear for that legendary classic rock sound is sure to enjoy this record.

  • Dune Dogs “Higher Ground”

    Dune Dogs “Higher Ground”

    The emotional story is surrounded by some of the freshest alt rock sounds one could hope for. There’s skilled guitar playing, well-paced percussion that’s an absolute pleasure with its details and the way it emphasizes what’s described in the lyrics, and an airy atmosphere that caresses ears yet makes the message sink right into the…

    Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends uplifting new single “No Sweet Dreams”

    “No Sweet Dreams” by Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends was originally inspired by worries about health issues among Arne’s dear ones, and it slowly evolved into a whole other story as the song started to unfold.

  • Sano Hill – “Feel Love”

    Sano Hill – “Feel Love”

    “The lyrics are spare and direct – but hopefully clear. They are inspired by what is going on today – the upcoming season of goodwill and the journeys home that many people take to family and friends is also an inspiration – but also the many millions around the world who have been forced from…

  • Shyli Madhala – “Hysteria”

    Shyli Madhala – “Hysteria”

    “As a woman with Endometriosis, I believe that my diseased genes go all the way back to the 19th century, when women were locked up and institutionalized for being women, and further back to the days when wise women were killed for being witches. I’ve learned to internalize this pain; this song is a reminder…

  • Jane N’ The Jungle’s new single “Raw As A Jewel”

    Jane N’ The Jungle’s new single “Raw As A Jewel”

    “As an artist I am always striving to write, sing and perform in my most raw authentic self. It was a fight within myself, a feeling that felt as if I wanted to crawl outside my body, and I wanted to portray that emotion in RAW AS A JEWEL.” – Jordan White (Lead singer) Jane…

  • Bones in Butter – “Down But Not Out”

    Bones in Butter – “Down But Not Out”

    “The song is a tale about ordinary people living, suffering and surviving in a hostile environment dominated by a malevolent, corrupt and immoral elite.” Bones In Butter

  • Shockpowder darkness & beauty in “Flutter”

    Shockpowder darkness & beauty in “Flutter”

    “Flutter is my latest attempt to capture a dream. Even just an ambience of a dream speaks so powerfully. I feel really inspired when I read about artists who captured their dreams in paintings (such as beksinski) and want Shockpowder to be the sonic version of that. This particular dream was an enormous, empty and…

  • Alec Berlin – “Patchen Avenue”

    Alec Berlin – “Patchen Avenue”

    “This song is a little quieter and more reflective than the other songs that I’ve recorded lately, and I really like the contrast. It’s nice to be able to take a breath and relax a bit.” – Alec Berlin
