“The Ache of Living” - Danielle Schroeder
Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Danielle Schroeder has always written from the soul, but with her first release of 2025, she’s not just baring her heart — she’s letting it bleed beautifully across the strings.
“The Ache of Living” is a quiet storm — an aching, reflective track born from the grief of losing a close friend. It is a stripped-down, soul-deep meditation on grief, motherhood, and the fragile, often unspoken edges of vulnerability.
“IN A PARACHUTE !” - Alon Mylo
A cosmic traveler from a headless planet called MyMy hurls themselves to Earth via parachute, chasing meaning, identity, and maybe even a little chaos along the way. Sounds wild, right? That’s exactly what Alon Mylo is serving up in his latest single, “In a Parachute” – a genre-bending, brain-tingling ride that’s equal parts sci-fi story and emotional expedition.
“Slack Key Blues” - Slack Key 'Ohana
Slack Key ‘Ohana’s new single “Slack Key Blues” is a breezy, bittersweet blend of island charm and bluesy soul.
“Wayward Path” - Duane Hoover
If you threw Buddy Holly’s glasses, Pete Townshend’s arm swing, and a fuzz pedal into a blender—then let it spin through decades of British and American rock history—you might just get Duane Hoover’s Wayward Path. But even then, you wouldn’t quite capture the full picture. Because what Hoover’s created here is more than homage—it’s a wired, whirlwind reinterpretation of musical DNA, spliced together with attitude, heart, and a healthy dose of wild-eyed obsession.
“Block My Number” - Akira Sky
Let’s be honest: sometimes life is a lot. The texts, the feelings, the what-ifs, the spirals at 2 AM. And Akira Sky gets it — really gets it. Her latest single, “Block My Number,” is for anyone who’s ever loved too hard, overthought too much, or hit “send” when they really should’ve slept on it.
“Damaging Control” - Sour Blood
Polish alt-rockers Sour Blood are back with a brand new single that hits like a well-aimed brick through the glass of your emotional defenses. “Damaging Control” doesn’t just tug at your inner turmoil—it twists it, shakes it, and then shoves it onto the dance floor with a wink. It’s part therapy session, part rock meltdown, and all heart.
“Green Tea” - trainboy
London’s own trainboy, the quirky musical project of singer-songwriter Dave Macleod, arrives on the scene with their January 2025 single “Green Tea”—a woozy, wistful, and wonderfully offbeat slice of lo-fi indie pop that feels like bumping into a close friend on a rainy walk through Camden. If you like your music with a little nostalgia, a lot of honesty, and just enough fuzz to make you lean in closer, this one’s for you.
“Sundown Town” - Ken Woods and The Old Blue Gang
If "Ride the Rails" was a warning shot, then “Sundown Town” is the full cannon blast. With this second single from the upcoming concept album Silent Spike, Ken Woods and the Old Blue Gang double down on everything that makes their sound so compelling—face-melting riffs, swampy groove, cinematic storytelling—and aim it squarely at one of the darkest corners of American history.
"Madness Gladness" - Zachary Mason
Zachary Mason's newest single "Madness Gladness" is a feeling. A soft, dreamy exhale of a song that floats somewhere between moonlit nostalgia and a heart full of quiet chaos.
This isn’t the head-banging, guitar-slinging rock anthem some fans might’ve expected based on Zachary’s earlier work— this track leans in hard to his dreamy, reflective side, and it really works.
"Cold Hard Bliss" - Spyderhuff
It’s golden hour. You and your partner are cruising down a dusty two-lane road in an old station wagon. You’re not saying much, but the silence is full of history. That is the atmosphere of Spyderhuff’s new single, "Cold Hard Bliss."
“Apocalypse” - Nysiādes
“Apocalypse” isn’t just a debut song—it’s a portal. The first offering from Nysiādes, a mesmerizing all-female collective of four artists from different backgrounds and disciplines, Apocalypse announces itself like a whispered prophecy. It doesn’t just knock politely at the door of your psyche—it slips in through the cracks and rearranges the furniture of your soul.
“Give” - DaeMarcus
“Give,” is the dreamy, heartfelt, and low-key magical debut album from DaeMarcus, a solo artist straight out of New Bedford, MA, who’s clearly on a mission to do exactly what the title suggests: give.
