“Mansplain” - Dryadic

Let’s be honest — we’ve all been there. That moment after a show, gig, or even a casual conversation when an over-earnest man leans in with that very specific brand of confidence — the kind that comes with zero self-awareness and just enough IPA to lubricate an unsolicited opinion. Well, Dryadic’s newest single “Mansplain” captures that moment perfectly — and then sets it on fire, dances on the ashes, and turns the whole thing into a queer folk anthem you’ll be screaming along to by the second chorus.

“Stay On The Road” - Towse

Every once in a while, a song lands in your lap that feels like a time capsule, a diary entry, and a summer road trip all at once.

If you’ve ever been in a relationship that was chaotic, spontaneous, beautifully imperfect, and somehow exactly what you needed, this song will hit home.

Couple(t)s - Couldn't Be Happiers

There’s something instantly charming — and deceptively complex — about Couple(t)s, the sophomore album by North Carolina folk-rock duo Couldn’t Be Happiers. On first listen, it’s easy to get swept up in the earworm harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and the sheer likability of the married couple at the heart of it all: Jodi Hildebran Lee and Jordan Crosby Lee. But spend a little more time with this 12-track record, and you’ll find a rich, poetic tapestry that digs deep into protest, folklore, and love — the three pillars that hold this project up.

And while the tech may have changed and the tempos slowed, the essential Ben-ness remains: lush harmonies, poetic lyrics, warm vocals, and melodies that melt you in under thirty seconds.
