1) RAY VAN D – The Little Girl

If you’re looking for a new artist to check out, we highly recommend Ray Van D. His single “The Little Girl” is a great place to start.

This alternative rock track features cinematic vocals and soft rock instrumentation that gives the song a dreamlike quality. The lyrics are poetic and darkly beautiful—perfect for any moody day in the city or a quiet night at home.

It’s an alt-rock pop track with cinematic influences; it has an orchestral feel to it but still manages to maintain a pop sensibility throughout. The lyrics are poignant and raw as if they were written from experience rather than imagination.

A blend of alt-rock and pop that falls somewhere between Art Rock and Soft Rock. His sound is fresh, fun, and easy to listen to—perfect for those who want something new but don’t want anything too challenging or jarring.

You can find more from Ray Van D on his website or follow him on Spotify. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


2) MATT DEANGELIS – Can’t Write About Today

Matt DeAngelis is a Singer-Songwriter from New Jersey who has a rich, soulful voice and the ability to create music that’s both easy to listen to and heartfelt.

He wrote this song as an expression of the unrest in the world that began during the pandemic but has continued to manifest itself as uncontrolled gun violence, war, and strife among nations, which have continued to manifest throughout the world.

The weather has also become more violent than it used to be–another sign of the times that we live in. It is during one of his all-time low spiritual states that he expresses his utter grief at not even being able to imagine tomorrow’s possibilities, much less write about them.

And yet, realizes that only God can save us from the wrong mindset that we as a race are taking. The song has a classic rock sound with soft vocals that are easy to listen to and feel good about.

If you’re looking for something new and different to add to your playlist this summer (or any time of year), definitely check out Can’t Write About Today by Matt DeAngelis on Spotify, and visit his website! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


3) STAY FOR TOMORROW – Kings And Queens (2023 Version)

Stay For Tomorrow is an energetic four-piece alternative rock band from Dunfermline, Scotland, formed in 2018.

With their debut single Kings and Queens, they burst onto the Fife music scene in 2019 with their sound inspired by the likes of Twin Atlantic, Biffy Clyro, and Foo Fighters.

There is nothing more joyful or sad than singing along to King and Queen. It tells the all-too-familiar story of a past relationship and the attempts to rekindle it through the years. How two people can change through the years and are no longer the same people that they used to be?

The track is a classic anthem of the alternative rock genre—it’s got singable melodies and anthemic chords that stick in your head for days. It’s got a classic sound that will appeal to fans of bands like Pearl Jam.

If you’re looking for something new to add to your collection, check out this single and then visit STAY FOR TOMORROW’s 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!


4) BLUE SHIRT CHARLIE – Misty

BLUE SHIRT CHARLIE is a country folk singer-songwriter with a sound that’s both classic and contemporary.

The song, which was titled “Misty”, was recorded in a recently built studio inside the former Nashville home of Outlaw Country icon Waylon Jennings. It is a track that captures the band’s optimism at its peak.

Throughout the lyrics, there is a strong sense of two adrift people finding a way to be together, much like David Gray’s “Back in the World” or Radney Foster’s “Angry Heart.”

The riffs are open and wide, and the foot-stomping rhythms enhance the song’s message of gratitude and openness. The theme: “It’s worth getting lost to be found”

The song features a catchy chorus and an upbeat tempo that make it ideal for dancing or just listening to while you’re getting ready in the morning

Check out BLUE SHIRT CHARLIE on Spotify or visit their website for more information! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


5) LITTLE LORE – Normal

The United Kingdom’s LITTLE LORE is an artist who is making strides in the world of alt-country, Americana, and folk-pop.

Her sound is both fresh and familiar, with those female vocals giving the songs a distinctly British feel that makes them stand out from the crowd.

Having received a very enthusiastic response to his debut solo release last year, Little Lore is back with his brand-new single ‘Normal’, a driving Americana tune full of energy and observation about the choices we make in order to fit in with others.

Throughout the album, Little Lore continues to amaze with his emotive vocals and captivating storytelling combined with the stunning production and beautiful instrumentation from Oli Deakin, who performs with Morgan Karabel on drums and Afiya Paice on artwork.

If you’re looking for something new to listen to, you can’t go wrong with LITTLE LORE! Check out her website and follow her on Spotify! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!

6) LEARNINGTODIVE – Drums Of War (feat. Bravo Bonez)

Bravo Bonez, a multi-instrumentalist, arranger and producer, is releasing the first single “Drums of War” off an upcoming EP that is under the LearningToDive moniker.

The single is scheduled to be released on April 28th, 2023. LearningToDive (LTD) as an identity, focuses on Bravo’s more serious thoughts and perspectives on society and the planet.

The overall vibe of this song is cinematic—it feels like something out of an action movie soundtrack or an indy film soundscape. It’s got some elements of pop music (the catchy melody), but it also has enough darkness to be a rock song.

Distinct from his usual upbeat, retro or lo-fi-focused tones, LTD as an identity explores alternative themes with darker more complex layers. Bravo has always had a rather cynical attitude towards war, and the way populations are manipulated to achieve the aims of small groups of very powerful people.

If you like what you hear, check out the band’s website for more information about them! And if you want even more LEARNINGTODIVE music recommendations, follow them on Spotify—you won’t regret it! Check out our entire playlist which this artist and some other great are included!


7) ATARI PILOT – Train Of Life

Atari Pilot is the name of an independent UK-based band and their single, Train Of Life, is a great example of the kind of music they make.

With its powerful vocals and driving guitars, “Train Of Life” by Atari Pilot is a dynamic and energetic song that features powerful vocals and a catchy melody that will have listeners sing along as they listen to it.

It’s melodic indie pop rock with a little bit of synth thrown in for good measure. The song opens with a catchy beat that will get your foot tapping and then takes you on an emotional journey.

Its lyrics speak to the universal experience of seeking direction in life, which makes it a great choice for playlists that focus on self-discovery and personal growth as it speaks to the universal experience of searching for direction in life.

In addition to being featured as Devizine’s track of the week, the song has already been featured on Amazing Radio’s Indie Stream as well as being included on the podcast “is this thing on?”.

Head over to their website. If you really enjoy what you hear here, follow them on Spotify and also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


8) ERIC ALEXANDRAKIS – Satan’s Fried Scapegoat Breakfast

If you’re looking for a new song to add to your music rotation, look no further than the single “Satan’s Fried Scapegoat Breakfast” by ERIC ALEXANDRAKIS.

He was nominated for two Grammy awards, discovered by Duran Duran’s John Taylor, and collaborated with John Malkovich, David Lynch, Yoko Ono, Dolores O’Riordan, and many others as part of one of their collections.

The song is an expression of being pushed too far, but instead of lashing out, choosing to sing instead: a psychedelic response. I was inspired by the song ‘Porpoise Song’ by The Monkees, and Pink Floyd.

The track is a perfect example of classic rock mixed with dream pop, post-rock, shoegaze and power pop. It’s also got a great retro guitar sound that will make you feel like you’re in Europe at a classic rock concert.

ERIC ALEXANDRAKIS is based out of Greece so if you’re into European culture, this artist is for you! Check him out on Spotify and visit his website to learn more about his upcoming shows and new releases! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


9) SOME PROJECT – Some Songs

SOME PROJECT is all about making pop music that sounds like a dreamy throwback to the ’90s but still feels fresh today. His music is the result of a love and passion for music that has been going on for more than 20 years and has been a major part of his life.

is most recent album, Some Songs By Some Project, is a collection of eclectic, melodic pop-rock songs, with a Latin twist to them. The artist composes and performs all the instruments, records, mixes, and produces everything you hear in the song.

Yes, sometimes it may sound sloppy or sloppy-sounding, but that is what gives this particular project a very intimate, domestic and homemade touch.

it’s got that classic feel with plenty of guitar riffs and drum beats that make you want to sit back and relax while listening to music in your bedroom on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

If you’re interested in checking out more of their work, visit his website. You can also follow him on Spotify. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


10) BLOODTOOTH – Believe In Nothing

The Bloodtooth are back with a new song! The song is a show-stopper with a beat that attacks you as soon as you hear it.

If you’re looking for an artist to add to your Spotify playlist, look no further than Bloodtooth. Bloodtooth is an alternative rock band from London, UK. They just released a new song called “Believe In Nothing,” and it’s a real banger.

This is the first release from Bloodtooth under a new range of releases under the title ‘Do It For the Kid’s’, which will include a new single entitled ‘Believe in nothing’, which delivers plenty of pumping unapologetic indie rock.

Their most recent single, “Believe In Nothing”, is an anthem that will be stuck in your head for days. It’s super catchy and has some hard rock elements thrown in, which makes it perfect for summer road trips or listening while you’re working out.

If you like the sound of this song, I highly recommend checking out their website. You can find them on Spotify as well. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!
