    Nordic Hamster – Nordic Hamster EP

    “Nordic Hamster is a duo (Cody Nordine & Cody Hamilton). I met Cody (Nordine) years ago when he was the bass player for Alphæus. I remember finding out he was actually a guitarist primarily and I wanted to hear more from him. I was blown away by the music he began to share with me.…

  • Electric High “Populate the Moon”

    Electric High “Populate the Moon”

    “Well, our bassplayer Ein came up with these hooks on Populate the Moon. Actually for this other band he´s in, Emmerhoff and the Melancholy Babies. But we made a song out of it before they got to hear it. Piracy! The lyric is about the frustration you can feel about humankind once and a while.…

    Rihards Libietis “Transcending Parallels”

    Emotionally, we really hope that this composition will take the listener on an inspiring journey and to help him/her transcend any barriers or struggles.

  • THE INFINITY PROCESS – “SINISTER”

    THE INFINITY PROCESS – “SINISTER”

    “Our song “Sinister”, is about attaching yourself to someone or something that you believe in or idolize, and not realizing in the moment that the thing you adore is toxic and dangerous, despite people around you trying to warn you. It also hints at the lack of compassion that is present in the world today.…

    He’s Not Your Kind – “What Could Have Been, What Never Will Be”

    “The album was born out of a pretty dark place in my life. Some things were going on that had me facing depression for the first time in my life. Over an 8 week period from June-August 2021 I wrote and recorded these 7 songs in my home studio. It was a very cathartic experience,…

  • Jem Doulton – “Perfect Picture”

    Jem Doulton – “Perfect Picture”

    “Perfect Picture” well it’s definitely laced with a lot of sarcasm this track. I have to be a bit careful what I say as it comes from quite a personal place, so it’s a bit tricky to divulge more. With that in mind though, the sentiment can extend to other situations, by and large where…

  • Quantum “Rise”

    Quantum “Rise”

    “Rise is a song about new beginnings. It’s about having the courage to let the old things in the past and move on. ‘Happiness is what matters most, I know the day will come when I’ll be king.’ In life it’s never really about how good you are. Honestly it’s about endurance. Those who have…

    Strangely Alright “Nisqually”

    “A big part of SA is the fact Sean, Regan and Ken are in recovery. We all have had previous struggles and that experience can be a touchstone to a better understanding and appreciation of ones self and maybe even an attitude filled with more gratitude. So when Sean sings about change he also alludes…
