1) CHICA CHINO – Autumn

The second single from Chica Chino, Autumn, has just been released unsigned and uncut! They have a very interesting sound that you should check out!

Their latest single Autumn is a banger with strong lyrics that are super catchy and easy to remember. The song has a catchy tune that will be stuck in your head for days. It’s just one of those songs that instantly gets stuck in your head and makes you want to listen to it over and over again!

The song tells a story of how a person is attempting to survive through the most debilitating chemical imbalances that our brains create that can destroy their lives. It has a Dark-wave and Post-Punk vibe to it, which appeals to rock fans of all kinds.

This is a story about four blue-collar bad boys who want nothing more than to cash in and sell out. Chica Chino is the ultimate means to that end.

You can visit their website or follow them on SoundCloud to stay updated with their progress! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


2) SPIES – Playing With Matches

SPIES is a project by Austrian singer-songwriter Maggie Loeffler and British producer Dan Fisher that combines their love for rock guitars, thumping disco beats and a knack for blending catchy hooks with an anthemic chorus to create a sensational sound.

As a result of Maggie and Dan meeting by chance, they instantly developed chemistry together resulting in the release of several singles as well as the completion of their much anticipated full-length album that was released this year.

The songs on this 10-track album are very catchy and easy to listen to, but they also have a lot of depth and meaning behind them. Hurricane is the best choice to start exploring in my opinion, the lyrics are very relatable, and we loved it!

I really enjoyed listening to this album because it was so different from anything else I’d heard before. It’s unique, SPIES blends pop and rock together for a sound that is fresh and original.

Check them out on Spotify or visit their website to learn more about them. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


3) K4LT – LCPD

This Berlin-based artist, K4LT (pronounced Kalt, which means “cold” in German), performs multi-layered, Radiohead loopy coldness, with influences ranging from Thom Yorke and Burial to Richard Dawson and David Byrne.

There is no doubt that K4LT’s new single “LCPD” addresses one of the most painful types of breakups out there: The one that is amicable. It is K4LT’s first release in two years.

In no way can it be denied that the loss of loved ones and a variety of other personal setbacks, which followed the release of K4LT’s first EP “Endgame”, led to possibly the most trying period in K4LT’s life.

As a result, his sound has been refined into a slightly less rock-oriented, slightly calmer and structured approach, while still maintaining the overall ominous aesthetic that he has always emphasized.

If you want to check out more tracks by this talented artist, visit their website or 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) ERUPTION ARTISTIQUE – So Strange

‘Eruption Artistique‘ is back with a dark, neopsychedelic, high-energy RNR love story that ends with a forever new beginning. Could you recognize these demons? I am sure it’s many people’s stories, but how can it be so strange as this?

The Netherlands-based band has been making waves in Europe with their unique sound, which combines elements of psychedelic rock with pop sensibilities.

You’re not going to want to miss this single from Eruption Artistique. It’s a mix of dream pop and dream rock, with a hint of edgy alt-rock thrown in for good measure. The vocals are super-smooth and the music has a groovy vibe that will get you moving.

The vocals are smooth and seem to be a female vocalist. The lyrics are also very dreamy and kind of remind me of what you’d expect from a great shoegaze band.

I think this is an awesome song that deserves to be heard! Check it out, visit their website, watch their music video, 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!


5) CARSON ADAY – Molly

The singer-songwriter CARSON ADAY, who hails from Dallas, Texas, is currently making waves with his latest single “Molly.” The song is the perfect combination of retro pop and soft rock that will leave you singing along.

“Molly” is a guitar-driven pop song produced by Mikal Blue, the multiplatinum and Grammy-award-winning producer.

With Carson’s vintage tone combined with modern production, Carson has created a unique style that has radio stations and record labels closely following Carson’s next step in his career.

It’s hard not to love this song: it’s got everything you could want from an indie rock single—the kind of song you’d imagine being played at proms across America. If you’re looking for something fun, lighthearted and super catchy, then look no further than CARSON ADAY’s new single “Molly”.

6) RAY VAN D AND PHILIPPE M – What Mothers Do

When you think of France, you probably don’t think of rock music. But that’s exactly what you’ll find when you listen to RAY VAN D AND PHILIPPE M.

Their single “What Mothers Do” is a perfect example of the European culture of classic rock and pop that they blend together so well. The song features great guitar riffs, a powerful baseline, and vocals that will make your heart melt.

There is an uplifting feeling to this song that makes you want to dance around your living room while singing along. The lyrics are positive but also deeply emotional at times—there’s something about this song that just resonates with me personally!

If you are looking for an album that has a classic rock sound but also has some modern elements in it, then this album will be perfect for you. Just 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) ROOTS ASYLUM – Ride On

‘Ride On’, the latest single from Roots Asylum, is a high-octane rock track that takes you along the highway of life as it explores the ups and downs of being an outsider. It sounds rebellious by the style but also fun.

There are male and female vocals in this anthem that deliver a powerful message of embracing the good times and making the best out of life despite the tough times. This anthem of escapism and good times is sure to get your heart racing as it blows in the breeze.

‘Ride On’ was released on April 21st and the band’s goal for the release is to get airplay, exposure, and playlist additions for the single as well as to provide the world with an enjoyable, fun, and upbeat vibe.

If you want to check out more of their music or follow along with them on Spotify (where you can stream their latest releases), go check out their website. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


8) AURORA BY NOON – Black Crosses In The Sun

“Black Crosses In The Sun,” the title track of AURORA BY NOON‘s brand new 12-track album, is the latest masterpiece of the band, and we’re excited to introduce it today.

‘War’ is an emotional, thought-provoking anthem that examines the impact of war on individuals and communities worldwide, offering a haunting and thought-provoking narrative that will resonate with audiences from all around the world.

Taking its inspiration from the devastating conflict currently unfolding in Ukraine, Black Crosses in the Sun explores the harrowing experiences of those who have been forced to flee for their lives during a time of war.

There is a skill to the songwriting as well as the lyrics in the way that they carefully navigate this sensitive topic without making any political statements, rather focusing on the human cost of war.

9) CONTACT LIGHT – Burnout

Burnout is the most recent single from Philadelphia-based, Indie-Punk band, Contact Light. The song is a tribute to toxic ex-girlfriends and horrible friends and how they make you feel awful and how they try to mess with you.

CONTACT LIGHT is an alternative rock band from the US, so the American rock culture is very present and that’s what is additionally enchanting. They are a band that knows how to write songs with a soulful feel, and a classic sound. Their single “Burnout” is a perfect example of this.

The lyrics are very relatable and they make you want to sing along with the song even though you don’t know all of them yet because they’re so catchy!

It’s a lively track that’s sure to get you in a good mood and leave you singing along with the chorus for days. The song features great guitar riffs, a steady drum beat and beautiful vocals.

If you’re looking for something new to listen to this summer, check out CONTACT LIGHT’s single “Burnout” on Spotify or visit their website to learn more about them! Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!


10) SPENCER BRILL – Hospital Song

If you are looking for a new indie rock singer-songwriter to add to your playlist, look no further than Spencer Brill. The US-based artist has released a new single called Hospital Song which is sure to be your favourite song this week.

His classic sound will take you back in time with its easy-listening style, but his lyrics will keep you feeling like you’re evoking emotions, besides not having so sentimental style.

Spencer Brill’s single draws inspiration from early 2000s Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie, and Ben Folds with a contemporary sound.

And is said to make a great theme song for a future TV show about COVID-19. It was written about his experience with a weeklong stay in a hospital with COVID-19.

In “Hospital Song”, the listener is taken on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and self-acceptance in the context of catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics.

Spencer Brill’s debut single is not the end of his musical journey, and we can expect to hear more of Spencer Brill’s brain-tickling music in the near future.
