Spanning glossy pop, electronica, alt-rock, and one fuzzy stoner-rock track that demands a replay.
These are the songs that grabbed our attention.
STONEFLIES – Voices
‘Voices’ pulls STONEFLIES’ decade of evolution into focus, letting their melodic instincts wrestle with darker, heavier textures until every version of the band feels present at once.
VENDELA K – Hold You Tight
‘Hold You Tight’ finds Vendela K threading the line between dancefloor euphoria and emotional vulnerability, wrapping honest, heart-on-sleeve storytelling in shimmering Scandinavian pop hooks that hit as hard on a late-night drive as they do in a crowded room.
briarsuite – Summer Rain
‘Summer Rain’ radiates the kind of sun-soaked, communal joy that Briarsuite were built on, wrapping tight, punchy instrumentation around a melody that feels like the first break in the clouds after a long storm.
The OGB, Liv Le Gal – Do You See It?
‘Do You See It?’ sees The OGB channelling her late sister’s memory into a smooth, Afro-R&B glide that balances heartfelt vulnerability with undeniable cultural pride, all while Liv Le Gal’s feature adds an extra layer of magnetic push-and-pull.
Shoreline – crop cicles
‘crop cicles’ captures Shoreline’s raw, unpolished Mid Coast energy in full flight, channelling that emo ache into something that feels like a late-night drive through memory lane with the windows down.
Abeny Hayes – Untold Thing
‘Untold Thing’ finds Abeny Hayes weaving intricate, left-field chord progressions around lyrics that hit like quiet confessions, sitting comfortably in that restless space between intimate folk confession and Radiohead’s brooding unease.
BLOKBSTR, Marty Rotten – Kids
‘Kids’ channels that decade of punk-fueled fury into a pulsing electro-pop banger, trading circle pits for dancefloors while keeping every ounce of that live-wire, sweaty-show energy intact.
ADAM – WAIT FOR ME
‘Wait For Me’ is a vulnerable, cinematically charged alt-R&B slow-burn that holds its breath between longing and dread, capturing that raw moment when love feels like it’s slipping away before the words to save it have even been found.
Monarchs US – Blackwater
‘Blackwater’ erupts with the kind of global, genre-defying weight that only a band as geographically sprawling as Monarchs could conjure, channeling months of silence into a crushing, cinematic metalcore statement that feels both fiercely heavy and impossibly vast.
Take My Lungs – The beginning of…
‘The Beginning Of…’ feels like a raw, unfiltered snapshot of an artist figuring it out in real time, translating the quiet act of creation into something intimate and strangely complete.
cailyn kratzer – euro
‘euro’ captures that messy, late-night crash-out energy in real time, wrapping Cailyn Kratzer’s unfiltered intimacy around a track that feels like a shared secret between headphones and 3 AM.
Brenna Menz – I Hope You Miss Me
‘I Hope You Miss Me’ wears its oversized heart on its sleeve with the kind of raw, unguarded honesty that Brenna Menz admits is too big to keep inside, turning relatable ache into a warm, open-handed plea that makes loneliness feel a little less solitary.
Gold Tides – Diner
‘Diner’ serves up that signature Gold Tides paradox—a sugar-coated, upbeat shimmer wrapped around something quietly aching, made for anyone who’s ever needed to dance through the sadness.
Fuzz Voyage – Volts = Amps X Ohms (Demo)
‘Volts = Amps X Ohms (Demo)’ hits with the crushing, fuzz-drenched weight of a Washington DC stoner doom anthem, letting its instrumental sprawl do all the talking as it rumbles through low-end frequencies like a slow-motion earthquake.
