1) CARSON FERRIS – Talkin’ to You

The US-based artist, Carson Ferris, serves up a riveting concoction of Indie Pop and Rock Pop in his single “Talkin’ To You”. Deeply rooted in Provo, UT, Ferris marvellously crafts together a spooky Halloween vibe with a relatable, playful narrative. The song delves into the frightening ordeal of expressing feelings to someone else and the looming fear of potential rejection. This scenario, while a frequent source of fear, is alluringly encased in a hard-hitting melody that’s appealing all year round, not merely when the fall air turns cool.

As a rising Singer-Songwriter, Carson Ferris showcases the same level of inventiveness and commercial pop appeal as globally recognized maestros like Ed Sheeran and John Mayer. His song “Talkin’ To You” expertly blends male vocals, alternative pop Airwaves and the super catchy melody into an incredibly unique Indie Melodic Pop Rock experience. His music, while profoundly universal, maintains a US-based culture, bringing forward a fresh perspective in the music industry.

With the exquisite flavour of his songs, it’s no exaggeration to state, “Carson’s music captivates the spirit and resonates with the heart. It’s a finely tuned symphony that leaves a lasting impression”. The Commercial Vocal Dance elements woven throughout “Talkin’ To You” add to its allure. So why wait? Follow Carson Ferris on Spotify, visit his website, sink your senses into “Talkin’ To You”, and feed your music cravings by liking and listening to our playlist. Undoubtedly, it’s a song that’ll make you dance with its infectious beat and soulful rhythm. Check it out!


2) NRY – On / Off

Hailing from Dortmund, Germany, the incandescent punk/rock trio NRY is making a remarkable impact in the European music industry. Their performances reach far beyond the standard amber fury of punk; they promote narratives, emotions, and unparalleled musical dynamics. Echoing the fervour of iconic punk bands like Dead Kennedys, their creations radiate a familiar yet intriguingly unique sound.

Among these aural masterpieces is the band’s debut album “On/Off,” a captivation of rock and post-punk elements. True to the spirit of Radiohead’s timeless alternative rock and 90’s rock passion, it delivers tracks pulsating with personal struggles and societal issues. The standout piece “Love Of A Vampire” makes a forceful statement against Russia’s breach into Ukraine, leading one reviewer to declare it as, “an album that punches right into one’s face.”

Audiences should embrace the perpetual journey NRY has embarked on. Music enthusiasts are encouraged to explore their expansive repertoire – visit their website or follow them on their YouTube channel for their latest releases. And to those craving a delicious blend of male vocal-led punk rock and classic rock anthems, our playlist is the perfect sonic feast.


3) TRYPAN – Celestial Scream

Embarking on a sonic journey via Houston, United States, Trypan astounds us with his groundbreaking output, exploring unchartered territory and introducing us to a pioneering fusion of industrial metal and electronic music. “Celestial Scream,” his latest single, is an avant-garde testament to this bold endeavour. Just as trendsetters like Nine Inch Nails pushed the boundaries of the industrial music scene, so too is Trypan shaking the foundation of the musical landscape, crafting a revolution through his quirky, experimental electronic sound.

Oscillating between alternative rock and post-metal, Trypan’s compositions urge us towards an enhanced aural workout. Scrawny Puppy popularized this genre, but it’s Trypan who is raising the bar, experimenting with elements of screamo. His “Celestial Scream” has been lauded as “the anthem that redefines music”; its male vocals challenge any preconceived notions we may have, effectively altering our perspective of music forever.

Encouraging listeners to submerge in this electrifying auditory spectacle, Trypan offers a soundtrack-like experience with aspects of US-based culture. His relentless pursuit of unorthodox combinations has formed a global community resonating with his experimental, anthemic music. His music is the outgrowth of ceaseless exploration and audacious choice; check it out, visit his YouTube channel, follow the artist on Spotify, and immerse yourself in his music. Remember to like, listen to, and share our playlist. His music is not just sound—it’s an adventure into a daring world of experimental general phenomena.


4) THE FRST – You’re On Your Own, Kid (feat. Kellin Quinn)

THE FRST, a Nashville, United States-based talent, is resounding the alternative rock landscape with anthemic, unexpected sounds of a pop-punk cover of the classic Taylor Swift’s ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid.’ Extensively gifted with somber male vocals, the song takes a playful spin with the featured dose of Kellin Quinn & Matty Best (of Sleeping With Sirens fame); a treat Spotify proudly presented on their All New Rock editorial playlist. “It’s a chord-strumming, infectious rendezvous of rock and pop,” is a fitting accolade for this indie rock escapade.

The single finds its home under PsychTune, a division of Thriller Records – the brainchild of Bob Becker, the legendary founder of Fearless Records. This very label blasted the original ‘Punk Goes Pop’ series to unforeseen heights in the late 2000s, and stands as a beacon of US-based culture and a testament to skater rock. The Frst’s extraordinary cover builds on this legacy.

In a remarkable collaboration, the music mix comes from indie rock experts Zack Odom & Kenneth Mount, notably portfolios including Mayday Parade, All Time Low, and Set it Off. It’s a solid reason to delve into this emo-pop rock communion. “Punk rock tinted with emo rock echoes millennium’s spirit”, is a rightfully earned praise for this work. So, do give it a spin, follow THE FRST on Spotify, their website, and keep up with their music by liking and listening to our playlist. You’re sure to relish this punk-infused caper.


5) ABEL LABEL – Folk

Drawing from a truly rich vein of rock history, ABEL LABEL shatters the mould with his latest single, “Folk”. This Budapest-based artist is a master of many trades, playing all the instrumental parts while providing mesmerizing male vocals, demonstrating an artistic virtuosity that rivals singer-songwriters like David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.

Imbued with a timeless classic rock feeling, ABEL LABEL is electrifyingly similar to pioneers in rock like Europe or Journey while being unflinchingly indie rock in spirit. “Folk” has all the hallmarks of a true rock anthem, echoing with a distinct AOR influence. The single is a heady brew, a potent distillation of Hungary’s rich, Europe-based culture and rock music that whets the appetite for more. As one critic aptly put it, “ABEL LABEL’s ‘Folk’ is an anthemic banger held aloft on a sea of classic sound”.

Distinguished by his unique interpretation of an old Hungarian folk song, ABEL LABEL, reinvented the lyrics and delivered them to the audience in an intriguing and skillfully mixed output. Let’s not overlook this uprising star in the world of rock. With just a couple of clicks, you can follow ABEL LABEL on Spotify, like, and immerse in his playlist. Visiting his YouTube channel would be a worthwhile exploration too. Open your ears to the echoes of the past, resounding with a resurgent rock spirit! Check it out.

6) MIKE MASSER – True Grit

Magnetically reminiscent of the ’80s vibes with a definitive classic rock feel, MIKE MASSER recently had an album titled True Grit. This Prescott-based artist has spun an audacious web of intricate hard rock rhythms, giving competition to the likes of famous artists who also fascinate us with their classic sound. This work, however, carries an extra twist, blending the nostalgic tonality with the US-based culture.

MIKE MASSER echoes the lines of bygone artists but adds his own twist that resonates with a unique, edgy charm. He makes you swim in the deep, anthemic melodies, while his vocals remind you of classic ’80s rock icons. “A literal explosion of sonic power”, is what I would say, capturing the spirit of rock with sterling craftsmanship. Despite unfolding right before the turbulence of the COVID crisis, True Grit shines with the energy of a timeless masterpiece.

With the stoner rock dynamics and the super edgy alternative rock undercurrents, this artist has launched a monumental work that demands your attention. Do not let this album, released back in 2021, slip undetected. It screams for a renaissance, and we fans can make it happen. Visit MIKE MASSER’s website, follow him on Spotify, and inhale the emanating rich, male vocals from our curated playlist. Let’s breathe new life into the picturesque landscape of True Grit.


7) HOSPITAL CORNER – Speaking New Languages

Emerging from the cultural torrents of Edinburgh, Hospital Corner has created a marvel with its new EP, “Speaking New Languages.” Exuding a resonant freshness reminiscent of ’90s rock and alternative rock virtuosos like Radiohead and R.E.M, their sound also carries the authenticity of a distinct Scottish-based culture. Their songs, rife with a tantalising blend of indie pop and indispensable indie rock, build upon an equitable foundation of alt-rock pop and indie melodic pop rock. It’s super catchy, anthemic even, packed with as much bracing rhythm as stirring lyricism.

Hospital Corner’s songwriting flaunts a delicate balance between the persistent throb of rock and a super edgy, cinematic charm, decisively positioning “Speaking New Languages” as an indie rock EP for anyone after more than usual. “This music is an unfiltered and unfettered banger,” says a long-time fan. Just like the most memorable pieces by Radiohead and R.E.M., each track is drenched in compelling male vocals that add inimitable finesse to the mix.

The band has firmly staked its claim on the musical atlas, rising from the flourishing undercurrents of the United Kingdom’s indie scene. Their EP, “Speaking New Languages,” imperatively begs a listening ear. So don’t waste a moment — dive in. Visit Hospital Corner’s YouTube channel, follow them on Spotify, and immerse yourself in their thrilling music by listening to our curated playlist. Check out their EP. Explore their sound.

8) SIR-VERE – The Crazies

SIR-VERE, fresh from the heart of the United Kingdom, Milton Keynes, is carrying the torch of 90’s rock and alternative rock. A unique blend of post-punk and synth indie rock elements, their newly released single ‘The Crazies’ is a perfect demonstration of their prowess. Borrowed from their album ‘Lovescope’ and refined for radio, this single is aimed to reach a wider audience with its impending reissue on Worldsound//Virgin Music Group in January 2024.

Drawing influences from epoch-making bands like Oasis and Blur, SIR-VERE exhibits a stone-cold confidence that translates into music as genuine as the times we are living in. This feeling is encapsulated in their word, “We all live with ‘The Crazies’.” It’s an industrial, super catchy, and super edgy statement that only they could make.

One can’t help but recommend SIR-VERE to the modern music aficionado. Visit their website, and follow them on Spotify to hear beats that are substantial yet leftfield, dance-like yet infused with rock. Let their playlist, a blend of rock with funk and groove, wash over you, and don’t forget to like and listen to it. This vocal dance/EDM act is a figurative and literal banger.


9) LINNÉA – Fixation

LINNÉA, a remarkable independent artist hailing from Chester, United Kingdom, has recently released her debut EP, “Fixation.” This tantalizing blend of alternative rock, grunge, and pop immediately captivates listeners and transports them to the era of angsty 90’s rock and garage rock classics. Lulled by her entrancing female vocals, each song masterfully tells a story of turbulent romances, and rawly exposes her personal battles with anxiety and imposter syndrome.

“Fixation” is a five-track experience chock-full of vivid allusions to influential artists like The Cranberries and Alanis Morissette. Her sound is a refreshing concoction of the best elements – the hard rock energy of an era gone by coupled with the contemporary alt-rock pop sensibilities that can hold a torch to Evanescence and Avril Lavigne. This collection of music resonates with fans due to its timeless energy and heartfelt lyricism.

In the words of a zealous admirer, “LINNÉA’s music transcends expectations, tying melodic 90’s rock reverie with the raw edge of UK-based culture.” So why not indulge in the mesmerizing tunes of this talented artist? Check out her YouTube channel, follow LINNÉA on Spotify, and immerse yourself in the atmospheric, classic-sounding world she has skillfully woven together. Moreover, don’t forget to like and listen to our playlist to stay connected with this rising star.


10) ANTONY WELFORD – The Precipice

Emerging from the United Kingdom’s vibrant rock scene, Antony Welford blends prog rock, heavy metal, and art rock influences into a powerful and cinematic soundscape. His latest single, “The Precipice,” showcases his mastery at combining these different genres, blending face-melting guitars with epic arrangements. Hailing from Mark Cross, Antony’s music pays tribute to the UK-based culture and its deep-rooted rock history.

Drawing inspiration from renowned artists such as Ghost and Katatonia, Antony Welford creates an alternative rock experience that transcends the simple label of “banger.” As Antony himself stated, “This song is very special to me. It has an important message about the nature of life and death and tries to approach the latter in a positive way. I have tried to capture that spirit in the music and in the accompanying music video.” Indeed, the music video displays his unique blend of alt-rock pop and cinematic elements, evoking a strong emotional atmosphere.

With a strong presence on YouTube, Antony Welford shares his music and offers viewers insight into his creative process. In moving away from social media platforms like Twitter, he aims to establish a welcoming space for fellow musicians and fans alike. As a newcomer to the visual medium, Antony is excited to receive feedback not only on his super edgy tracks but also on his intriguing music videos. His ultimate goal is to evolve his metalesque, soundtrack-like style into a live project and deliver a memorable show that captivates audiences.

Whether you are a fan of prog rock or heavy metal or simply appreciate artful, soul-stirring music, you will undoubtedly be ensnared by Antony Welford’s sound.
