1) KURT GOTT – I Miss The Nightlife

In spite of the fact that this is a solo project, KURT GOTT is happy to have his long-time musician friends and music collaborators playing on this recording.

It is Cary Scope plays drums and bass guitar, and Rob Blaney plays the banjo and Hammond organ, while Kurt Gott plays acoustic guitar, piano, and electric guitar rhythm and leads, and he sings lead vocals and all backing vocals as well.

”I think it will be a great follow up to my award-winning song “Wine From a Dixie Cup” and I have high hopes of winning again with this single.” – Says Kurt Gott

The song is about reminiscing about their younger days and reflecting back on the great times they had together going out on the town, partying at night, and coming home late at night after a crazy night of partying.

If you’re looking for new music to add to your playlist, check out Kurt’s website or Spotify page! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


2) DOGBOY – Rush

Dogboy is an indie rock band from New York City. They have been around for some time now. Their most recent single is called Rush, and it’s a great example of the band’s dedication to their unique sound.

There’s no doubt that Rush, Dogboy’s third single, is a ripper of a tune that will get you up and dancing, and it’s been produced by Kit Conway of Del Water Gap.

We’re all looking for someone, even if it’s someone who is bad for us. Rush reminds us we’re all looking for someone, even when it’s someone who is bad for us.

It’s got that classic sound, like something you’d listen to on the radio in the 80s. It’s anthemic, with a driving beat and catchy chorus that you can’t get out of your head. And it rocks!

You can check out their website, and follow them on Spotify. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


3) WORC – Make The Wait

WorC is a band that takes you on a sonic journey in their newest single, “Make The Wait.” This is an alt-rock banger with just enough pop elements to make it super catchy and easy to listen to.

With “Make the Wait” from WORC you will be able to listen to the band’s second single. Led by EMOJI, WORC’s goal is to remind everyone to enjoy the time we have on this planet, might as well rock and roll while we are here!

The song has a really cool post-punk vibe to it but still has a pop sensibility in some ways. The lyrics are very rock n roll. The song is self-described as alt-rock pop, but it doesn’t sound like anything else we’ve ever heard before. It’s got all the elements of a great banger—super catchy lyrics and a powerful message.

It’s got everything we love about classic rock and pop music—super catchy hooks, that classic guitar sound, and a vocalist who sounds like he’s been singing since he was just a kid.

This band needs to be heard by more people! Go check out their YouTube and Spotify pages now! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


4) CHUCKY TRADING CO – Tumbleweeds

Chucky Trading Co. is a country/folk-rock band based in Manhattan, New York. They’ve been around for some time, but it wasn’t until the release of their single “Tumbleweeds” in May that they really stepped up.

In December 2021, CS Taber and Everett Young collaborated on a folk rock song called Chucky Trading, which has become their 15th single since then.

The bittersweet story of Tumbleweeds tells the tale of the end of the cowboy era on the American prairie. Four brothers are trying to figure out how to live in a modern world they have no understanding of.

This song is everything you could want from a country/folk-rock band—it’s got an easygoing beat and catchy lyrics that are perfect for listening to while driving down long stretches of highway or sitting on your front porch with a cold beer in hand.

Visit Chucky Trading Co.’s website to hear more music, and follow them on Spotify also! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


5) ALIENS DON’T RING DOORBELLS – Are You Crazy?


The United Kingdom, London-based artist, Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells, has recently released their latest single, “Are You Crazy?”.

This rock-pop anthem is a perfect blend of classic rock and soft rock elements, featuring powerful male vocals reminiscent of famous artists like David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.

One listen and you’ll be hooked, as the anthemic tune takes you on a journey through UK-based culture. In the words of a fervent fan, “This song is an instant classic! It’s got that timeless sound that transports you to another era.”

This praise couldn’t be more accurate, as the easy-listening track showcases the band’s ability to create a classic sound that is both modern and nostalgic.

The quality of the music is truly outstanding, and it is evident that Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells have poured their heart and soul into this single.

Don’t miss out on this incredible new release. Check it out, visit their website, and follow the artist on Spotify. Be sure to like and listen to our playlist, where you can find more amazing tracks from Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells and other talented independent artists.



6) SHADELAND – No Time

SHADELAND is a band that creates a sound that is as unique as it is hard to pin down. Their new single, “No Time,” has all the hallmarks of an alternative rock anthem: heavy guitars, soaring vocals, and a driving rhythm that makes you want to get up and move.

The Indianapolis-based band has been making waves in the local music scene for some time now, and with their latest single, No Time, they’re ready to take on the world.

As the years pass by, it is also a time when it is important to take a closer look at what you value in your life and what you should leave behind when you die.

The song features a classic grunge sound with a modern edge, thanks to its heavy guitar riffs and driving bass line. The vocals are delivered by a vocalist that has a deep but smooth voice that adds an extra layer of texture to the track.

I would recommend checking out this band if you’re into grunge or prog rock. They have all the elements that make those genres so great. Check out SHADELAND’s website today. And follow them on Spotify. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


7) JANE N’ THE JUNGLE – WASTELAND

JANE N’ THE JUNGLE is a rock band from Phoenix, Arizona. They’re known for their alternative and hard rock sound, but they’ve also been gaining some attention for their female-fronted vocals.

The band Jane N’ the Jungle, from Phoenix, AZ, is a modern rock band with a sing-a-long style and a take-no-prisoners attitude. The band is influenced by alternative rock, metal, punk and a touch of heavy metal influences.

A new single called “Wasteland” will be released on 5/19, Wasteland is about being stuck within toxic relationships that you feel you have no way out of.

As the vocals stir and explode with tension that demands your attention, it draws you into a world of unrest with instrumentation full of rage and passion, which creates an aura of unrest.

Jane has been making for some time now, but this track is just one of many gems in her catalogue. You can check out more of her songs on Spotify, or visit her website. Check out our entire playlist which this artist and some other great are included!


8) TEEN PRIME – No 7

If you’re looking for some music that will make you feel like you’re living out a David Lynch film, you’ve come to the right place.

Teen Prime is an experimental indie rock band based out of Berlin, Germany. Their newest album, No 7, has received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Fans of art rock, blues, indie rock, math rock, noise rock, jazz, avant-garde music and experimental general will love this album.

The album has many layers to it and each one is worth listening to as you can hear each instrument on each song playing its part separately before they all come together for the finale.

It definitely has that cinematic feeling to it—like if you were watching a movie about someone who was making art and just happened to be listening to this album at the same time.

If you want more from this amazing artist, follow him on Spotify, and visit his website for more information about them. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


9) RACHAEL SAGE – Whistle Blow

RACHAEL SAGE is a singer-songwriter who, in her music, explores the American experience through folk and rock.

Taking on her 15th studio album, Rachael Sage has released her latest work of art, tagged as ‘The Other Side,’ which marks her 15th studio album as a singer-songwriter, poet, arranger, and producer.

Featuring fifteen tracks of emotionally charged and intricately woven music that is reminiscent of the classic, retro-warmth of the 1970s and 1980s, Sage’s latest album is one of the most grounded and stunning of her illustrious career, and it reflects a lot of what she has been able to accomplish throughout it.

One of the standout tracks on the album is ‘Whistle Blow’, which showcases the singer-songwriter’s musical range as well as lyrical depth and depth.

This song explores power dynamics and boundaries in the aftermath of public figures’ misdeeds with a distinctly Americana palette of slide and acoustic guitars.

I highly recommend checking out RACHAEL SAGE if you love alt-folk music. You can visit her website here or follow her on Spotify here! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


10) BROTHERS IN VAIN – Ran Away From Hell

If you’re a fan of indie rock and melodic pop rock, you need to check out the latest single from the talented band, Brothers in Vain.

Hailing from Piteå, Sweden, they’ve just released “Ran Away from Hell,” an anthemic, super edgy track showcasing their unique rock and pop blend.

With influences from famous artists like Arctic Monkeys and Kings of Leon, Brothers in Vain has managed to create a sound that’s all their own.

The band themselves have said, “It’s the best song we’ve made so far.” This quote is a testament to the quality of their music, and it’s hard to disagree.

The single features powerful male vocals and a catchy, banger of a chorus that will have you humming along in no time. The Scandinavian and Nordic cultural influences in their music also add an extra layer of depth to their sound.
