ChromiumHearts - I'm Not Actually Here


I'm Not Actually Here is the debut single from a New York-based alternative rock artist ChromiumHearts. ChromiumHearts does everything in the song, vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. It's an upbeat, danceble grunge song with pretty dark lyrical content about being depressed and giving up on life. You can find influences from bands like Nirvana, Pixies and Title Fight.

In two words : Highly Recommended !!!

Mud Whale - Scapegoat


Cleveland-based outfit Mud Whale just released their new single“Scapegoat,” the latest from the band’s upcoming debut album Everything in Moderation.“Scapegoat” follows Mud Whale’s first single “Nutrient Burn,” released earlier this year. Erupting in a fast-paced flash of big, driving guitars, pounding rhythms and ferocious vocals, “Scapegoat” is a perfect demonstration of Mud Whale’s fiercely dynamic sound. 


Written as a response to the woefully played-out clickbait news articles blaming millennials for the supposed downfall of American life, “Scapegoat” is a high-powered rock song that demands an end to unnecessary intergenerational hostility.

Memphis Stone and The Elevators - Summer


London-based rockers Memphis Stone and The Elevators just released their new single Summer. It's their last release ahead of their much-anticipated EP, “Not before time”. Summer is a bona fide indie anthem, the sort of song you can see yourself waving your lighter in the air to (or your phone torch if you don't have a lighter). It's an ode to music festivals, a celebration of being in a field with thousands of other people and sharing the amazing experience of live music.

“This is an industry that is close to our hearts and we’re determined to try and do something to help people whose struggles will continue - today, tomorrow and for months to come,” says the band’s drummer, Lenny Bonetti. “As a session drummer, I have personal experience of this. Last year was horrendous. I saw my diary go from being full of tours and festivals across Europe to nothing within the space of a few days!”

All proceeds from sales and streaming will go to MakeItBlue, a non-profit company dedicated to raising funds for mental health charities with a particular focus on the live events industry.

Electric High - Fire!


Norwεgian hard rockers Electric High just released their new single Fire! Already after the first few notes of Electric High’s new song, it is clear that the band has fully recovered from the shaky «hangover» of their previous release, Trembling Bones. Where the last single started off easy with an acoustic/percussive intro, FIRE! ignites with full electric power from the get-go, with a thumping main riff and a sing-along chorus that keeps the flame burning to the very end!

FIRE! was recorded at Solslottet Studios, in Bergen, Norway, produced by Iver Sandøy and it is followed by a music video well worth watching. The video was directed by singer PV Staff, and captures the burning energy of the song perfectly!


Electric High goes straight for your throat, fronted by two in-your-face lead singers, while the guitarist, bassist and drummer shoot out pure electric power. This is a band that continuously gives us excellent hard rock music.

In one word : Excellent !!!

PV Staff — lead vocals

The Bare Minimum - Bitter Pill


Toronto punk rockers The Bare Minimum just released their new single Bitter Pill.The track reminds the sound of early AFI, Misfits, and the Offspring and is a return to the band's roots. Bitter Pill sounds like both a garage and stadium rock anthem and drenches the classic punk sound in a contemporary space fuzz.


Rising out of the underground Toronto punk scene, The Bare Minimum channel but subvert skate-punk into something new. Fuelled by coffee and too much internet, they've been dishing out singles throughout the pandemic. Having once shared the stage with Meat Wave, No Fun At All, and Adrenalized; they've redirected that energy into their songwriting and online presence.

Venustra - May, I


Austin, Texas - based metal act Venustra released their new single "May, I". It's an Alternative Metal track that makes use of hard and thrashy elements and somber tones that leans into the tension and releases it into a cathartic whirlwind of chaos.Influenced by Dir en Grey, Venustra has a hard and driving sound but also extremely cinematic in its stake in music. Vastly different from other modern metal bands in the industry, the music is very nineties-centric with a slight goth, thrash, and punk bent. The main inspiration of "May, I" was a 2002 film "MAY" starring Angela Bettis that saw the psychological and emotional breakdown of the main character whose mission was to kill anyone who betrayed her and used their body parts to stitch together a new friend of her own.

Crimson Clean Sweep - Hexes


US-based metal band Crimson Clean Sweep just released their debut single Hexes. It's a metalcore song tuned low, with screams, influenced by the sound of bands like Motionless in White, Kittie, Korn, Orgy and Nine Inch Nails. Hexes is about the feeling you have when you're at the lowest you've been at and no one is listening. Taking place with mental illnesses such as depression, suicidal tendencies and anxiety is a BIG factor in what is being told throughout the lyrics. 


"If anyone is seeking help or struggling by themselves in whatever shape, way, or form, never hesitate to reach out as its crucial to have someone know how you're feeling before things can become too late" says the band. "Horror in general is a great way on how we utilize the things around us and explain how we are feeling, hence why "Hexes" can be briefly described as "A Cursed Song" for the people who feel Cursed in someone wanting a way out from reality."

The Longing - Torture


LA based synth-rock band The Longing just released their new single Torture. The Longing lure us into a fragile musical landscape of gentle piano chords that temp and tease us to enter. Coupled with founding member, Laura Bradley’s, crystalline-sweet vocals, which beautifully trickle and tickle their way around the chords – and you’re hooked; too late to even want to escape from the drama that’s about to unfold in this story-tale of a track. It’s nothing short of a glorious epic musical journey of a 4 minute melody.



“Lyrically, this track is written to strike a powerful nerve,” comments Laura Bradley. “The horror and helplessness of the co-dependent nature of the relationship within this song, and knowing that at some point, we’ve all been there or known someone who has. Factor in a year of lockdown and what it’s done to abuse and violence in households globally and I knew that ‘Torture’ had to be our next release.”

In one word : Excellent !!!

LoveButter - Nothing

Bristol-based hard rockers LoveButter just released their debut single Nothing. Drawing upon the Classic Rock sound of the 70's & 80's , LoveButter have reimagined the genre to fit into their quirky yet vibrant style. All the frills and tricks have been skimmed off the top, leaving just a passion for the rock music, delivered in a vehicle of absurdity and madness. 



If all you really want out of music is some toe tapping, floor filling, spine tingling, ball dingling, thigh slapping, unadulterated Rock n’ Roll, then you must listen to this song.
