“Goodness Gracious” - The Heligoats

If you’ve never heard of The Heligoats, you’ve probably at least paused to wonder what is a Heligoat? And that’s kind of the point. Equal parts bizarre and endearing, the name perfectly mirrors the wonderfully offbeat world Chris Otepka invites listeners into—a world where indie rock takes a detour through daydreams, strange science, and the inside of your spleen.

“Saturday Sessions” - The All's Eye

No fluff, no fillers—just pure, heart-pounding musicianship caught in one take. You can feel the energy radiating through every note.

“Take Your Last Breath” - Milyssa Rose

Milyssa Rose isn’t here to play it safe—and “Take Your Last Breath” is proof of that. This latest single off her album The Collection 2 hits like a gut-punch wrapped in distortion, darkness, and intensity. It’s equal parts theatrical and raw, like someone tearing pages from their diary and lighting them on fire, just to watch the ashes dance.

“Sound of Thunder” - Artificial Incline

From the quiet corners of Strathmore, Alberta, comes a storm that’s more personal than powerful—Artificial Incline’s new single “Sound of Thunder” is less about weather and more about the emotional aftershocks of growing up, losing people, falling in love, and figuring out how to keep going.

“This Ain’t The Day I Die” - Hyporadar

Hailing from the quiet corners of small-town Maine, Shane Duquette—the one-man mind behind Hyporadar—has crafted something that feels like a late-night drive through a noir daydream. “This Ain’t The Day I Die” isn’t just a song; it’s a mission statement. A gritty, low-end, bass-driven anthem for those who never quite fit the mold but kept creating anyway.

“House by the Lake” - Kristjan Ruus

What happens when an artist not only makes music, but also sits with it, relives it, and lets us join him in that vulnerable space. That’s exactly what Kristjan Ruus is doing in his new series, “Listening to My Own Music.” It’s not just an artist pressing play. It’s something deeper, something slower, something kind of… sacred.

“Fun” - Illuminade

Don’t let the title fool you—“Fun” by Illuminade is way more than just a party track. It’s a deep, trippy dive into the mind of an artist who isn’t afraid to get weird, heavy, and hypnotic all at once. Based out of Houston, Texas, Illuminade (aka Elijah Reed) is doing something bold in the world of electronic and psychedelic music—he’s bending genres like spoons in a magic show, and "Fun" is one of his slickest tricks yet.

“Normal” - Thammarat

With “Normal,” Thammarat doesn’t just drop a song—they drop a whole movement. This powerful, deeply personal anthem is a love letter to the queer community and anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t belong. Rooted in their experience growing up gay and gender expansive, “Normal” is a battle cry, a hug, and a revolution all rolled into one. It’s about standing tall in a world that demands you shrink.
