The track pulls from classic alternative rock influences such as The Replacements and Elvis Costello and blends humor and existential unease around themes of disorientation, fragmented memory, and the search for meaning.

Today is a great day to share the latest single from British pop-punk band, Goldstate, for their song called “Blessing In Disguise.” Having signed to Manic Kat Records along with the release of “Deep End” in February, this track is an introspective helping of melancholy, emboldened by the band’s vibrant hooks and sonic potency. On the new output, lead vocalist Ben Pritchard shares: “’Blessing In Disguise’ is a track about lost love, but not in the way you expect it to be. It’s about the breakdown of a relationship that initially makes you grieve that loss, but with time and clarity you realize that the door closing was actually the healthiest thing that could have happened to you – a blessing, in disguise.” If you’re enjoying the premiere, please consider streaming more of this band’s music here.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and music video from South London indie folk band, Gently Tender, called “Wild In The Uplands.” The band explains, “‘Wild in the Uplands’ is a song about escape from city to country. It’s about not having respect for fences and private land, roaming free and getting into mischief. Out of all the illegal activities a person can partake in, trespassing is one of the most exhilarating!” The second single from Gently Tender’s new EP called This Was Once Fields, “Wild In The Uplands” captures the free spirit of the band perfectly. If you’re enjoying the video, please consider supporting the band here.

Today is a great day to share the new music video from San Antonio-based punk rock band, Fea, called ”Careful.” The band shares, “‘Careful’ is my personal anthem—a reminder to speak up and not walk on eggshells for anyone. Abuse comes in many forms, and conditioning a person is one of them. I was lucky to have a strong support system, but not everyone has that. Writing this song was cathartic, and I hope it helps anyone who’s been through a similar situation.” The track is especially timely amid broader conversations around sexual assault, abuse of power, and the pressures on women to stay small and quiet—issues that resonate deeply within punk and music communities. With “Careful,” Fea aim to speak directly to younger women and LGBTQ+ listeners, offering guidance from lived experience: be unapologetic, speak up, and don’t shrink yourself for anyone. If you’re enjoying the new music video, please consider supporting the band here.

This song encapsulates that for me.” If you’re enjoying the new single, you can stream it on your favorite platform here.

Today is a great day to share the latest single and music video from the ultra-talented NYC-based harpist/vocalist, Stephanie Babirak, called “Hey Cain.” Stephanie shared:
This song borrows the story of Cain and Abel to explore the difficulty of accepting a very specific kind of loss. It’s about the grief, sense of betrayal, and disbelief that comes from letting go of someone who is okay with losing you, and how strange it is to mourn someone who’s still alive…someone you still love very much. I was thinking a lot about the First Corinthians verse ‘Love is patient, love is kind’ when I wrote this song, and about how untrue that can be—love can be incredibly painful even when it’s real.
Stephanie Babirak’s talent is on full display on the vibrant lead single from her sophomore album, Rotten Fruit, that will be released on all streaming services on June 12th.

Today is a great day to share the new music video from punk rock artist, Kit Major, for her latest single called “Punk Rock Boyfriend.” Known for her signature sound of grunge-punk bite, Major has drawn comparisons to Iggy Pop, Viagra Boys, Amyl & The Sniffers, but her new EP, Miss Ego, is less about lineage and more about liberation. The EP rips into issues of image, self-worth and expectation, and explores how much space a woman is allowed to take onstage, in relationships, in the rock scene and in the world. If you’re enjoying the music video, Kit Major’s new EP will be released on June 12th on all streaming services.

Led by singer and songwriter Angus Watt, the indie rock outfit channels the ironic and quirky energy of the 2012’s with clever and sardonic lyricism, while drawing from the genre-bending psychedelia of ’80s new wave. If you’re enjoying the new video, please consider pre-ordering the band’s new LP, Unmade In Minutes, here.

Today is a great day to share the latest single and music video from Seattle pop-punk band, EEP-OOP, for their fun song called “Don’t Waste Away With Me.” EEP-OOP! is built for cheap beer, garage hang-outs, and full-throated singalongs. Hailing from Seattle, they’ve been marking their territory on regional stages for the last two years, converting fans with raucous live sets and earnest lyrics. This quintet sings about all the good stuff—anxiety, depression, and alcoholism—but does it with a catchy flair that puts them somewhere between the melancholy of Off With Their Heads and the sunny pop punk of Blink-182. These influences are on full display in their debut Sorry. Dirt-bag anthems soar with big melodies, pairing perfectly with a six-pack and a dozen of your sweatiest friends. The band shared, “Our 2nd single ‘Don’t Waste Away With Me’ now has a brand new music video that is a lot of fun! The song is about a relationship that’s on its last leg with borne people begging each other to walk away and it’s a lot of fun for such a sad subject!”
If you’re enjoying the video, please consider purchasing the band’s new album called Sorry here.
