Testing Melodies

An indie and psych rock project that originates from Houston, Texas, The Shrubs started out as a passion project in 2013, and have witnessed a long journey of highs and lows in their music. From being a multi-member group in the past with several members as passers by to now being a magnetic duo of Miguel and Sophie, their creative maestro was recognized by Blossom Records in 2019

A multi-facet legend who originates from Whitehall, Pennsylvania, Dana Grover is slowly reviving an essence of awe and surprise elements in modern rock, because wow. As someone who hones collective prowess in multitude of musical talents like singing, producing, mixing and matching beats and much more, he has produced breath-taking marvels all from the comfort of his home studio.

If you are a metalcore fan who thinks the genre has said everything it has to say, Watch Me Die Inside will prove it wrong. "Infinity Fall II" lands like a reminder that Aleph has been quietly building something most projects wouldn’t dare to attempt. The whole project runs as an “Autopsy,” not an album, not a playlist, a systematic pulling apart of the human condition, fragment by fragment. “Watch Me Die Inside build soundscapes that feel more like internal spirals than song

Sweet Mess recently dropped their track, “Let’s Just Go,” and you can feel right away this is a band that’s lived on stage before bringing that fire into the studio. From commanding stages with high-energy performances to now shaping their own original sound, that transition feels earned, not rushed. Sylvie holds the center stage with vocals that feel bold and theatrical in a very natural way. Fer Lopez brings in sharp, confident guitar work, while Rob Watson on bass and Mich

Southern Poland-based band By Million Wires has released their much-anticipated EP, “Not Over.” The EP introduces the band not as a comeback act, but as something that’s been quietly evolving for years. Formed back in 2007, their journey really shows how patient and intentional this project feels. They have always sat between dreamy post-rock and alternative rock, but now the sound feels more grounded and emotionally direct. With Mirek Skrok leading on vocals, guitar and keys

The Lazz is a 40 Year old metal rock music Project by the multi-talented artist Ben Lazzaro, a veteran music composer and guitarist who has honed his skills and developed a unique sense of musical understanding through years of dedication to his craft. Not just sonic art, Ben Lazzaro has also polished his visual arts skills, bringing 13 years of 3D digital artist experience and holding honors in Associate of Science in Visual Communication. This constant learning has not just

DownTown Mystic has finally released his much-awaited EP, “On E Street Remix,” and it's rock ‘n’ roll time for all the listeners. DownTown Mystic, led by Robert Allen, comes across as an artist deeply connected to American rock while still knowing how to make it feel fresh today. His sound carries the warmth of classic records, the honesty of storyteller songwriting, and the energy of road-ready guitars that instantly pull you in. There are shades of heartland rock, roots roc

The Philadelphia-based artist has released his debut original, “lil runaway." There is a certain uniqueness in the way he defines his genre. His sound carries touches of classic post-punk darkwave, yet never feels stuck in nostalgia. The driving basslines, edgy guitar layers, and moody atmosphere give a signature feel to his music. His vocals have that distant, fading quality that adds mystery while still carrying emotion underneath. “Outlaw Cartier’s music moves through dark

With “Torn” feat. Siracha, Cries of Redemption doesn’t just release a song; it opens a new chapter filled with return, recognition, and gratitude. Founded by Ed Silva, the project has always moved with its own spirit, blending modern rock force with cinematic layers and emotional storytelling. One of the biggest moments here is the return of Billy “Sriracha” Babcock after an 11-year hiatus, welcomed back with open arms by Silva, whether for one song or much longer. The campai

Lauren Ash drops her latest single, “F.A.F.O,” and it's piping hot. Lauren is a total performer, whether it’s in her releases or on stage. There’s personality all over her delivery, and that makes her tracks feel alive from the very first seconds. She doesn’t sound like someone trying to fit into a lane; in fact, she creates her own space to shine in the darkness. What stands out most is how naturally she balances edge with emotion, making the rebellion feel human instead of

“All For You Jesus” marks the debut of 12 Disciples Worship, and it instantly feels genuine. Coming out of Boston’s 12 Disciples Worship, the collective brings musicians and singers together with one shared mission of spreading love through music and unity. I liked how their unity can actually be felt in the music rather than just spoken about. The group sounds sincere, warm, and rooted in something real, which makes them easy to connect with. “12 Disciples Worship brings dev

With the release of “Nightlight,” RIVERMIND makes a strong first impression, sounding far more seasoned than a new band finding its feet. The Switzerland-based quartet blends soaring guitar textures, weighty basslines, punchy drums, and melodic instincts in a way that feels fresh and naturally exciting. I liked how their sound carries both atmosphere and impact, where softer moments still feel full of life. Their style feels made for listeners who enjoy emotion with edge, mel

The Houston-based Indie rock band has released their live EP, “Live From The Attic.” After listening to their release, I feel The Wheel Workers are more than a traditional indie rock band, as their sound has an upbeat touch. They are more like a long-running Texas music collective that has been active since 2000. Over the years, more than 15 contributing members have been part of their journey, and the current lineup features founder and lead singer Steven Higginbotham, along

Beware! You’ll enter the world of hardcore metal if you listen to Ouroboric’s “Sin Eater.” Ouroboric is a seven-member band determined to keep the legacy of heavy metal alive. Their sound draws from the raw spirit of 90s rock and makes every note hit exactly where it should. Their tracks crash in like a storm at the door, then linger like a statement that speaks for itself. “Ouroboric sound like a band built to shake walls and leave a mark.” “Sin Eater” has that rough-edge

California-based artist Eddie Cohn has released yet another track that leans into his emotional, rock-driven space. His journey, starting from playing piano at just 3 years old to learning guitar and drums on his own, shows how well-seasoned he is. There’s a strong pull from that 90s rock space in his sound, not just in the guitar but in that slightly raw, unfiltered emotional honesty. What I like is how he doesn’t stay limited to just music; whether it’s DJing, writing, or e

ONEWWAY released his latest track, “Breakdown,” and it hits right in your heart. Led by Dustin Burkhard, ONEWAY is a project that feels like an emotional downpour with every song. The themes circle around pressure, faith, and mental strain, through the most polished version of sound. What stood out to me is how honestly ONEWAY puts their music forward, almost like a personal diary. “Dustin Burkhard’s ONEWAY cut straight through with an emotionally heavy delivery.” The song op

Scotland-based artist KER has released his latest original, “Just What Happened.” KER is a musician who is a master of storytelling and smooth delivery. His music carries a certain stillness that reflects quieter surroundings and a reflective approach. His sound leans into folk at its core, but there are subtle touches of indie and alt-pop that keep it from feeling too traditional. “KER leans into simplicity and lets real emotion do all the heavy lifting.” The track keeps thi

Microbes recently dropped “City of Sails,” and it instantly feels like a reflection of where they come from—split between Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Rarotonga. Jacob Connor and Allister Ainsworth are the duo behind Microbes. They like to keep things very minimal, but there’s intention in every sound. You can feel Jacob and Allister building every track together, and that DIY approach really works in their favor. “Microbes craft slow, introspective indie rock that quietly sits

If there’s one track that captures Solo Noi’s no-boundaries, just-fun spirit, it’s “You Can’t Make The River Go Back.” Their art follows no fixed lanes, just music flowing wherever it feels right. Their sound feels like a lived-in diary, shaped by South London life, Brixton reggae influences, and the raw creative energy. You can hear rock, reggae, blues, and even hints of punk in their music. John Fitz Bob Smith and Ollie Davies come across as storytellers first, musicians se

The dynamic rock band from Melbourne has released a 26-track album, “Soliloquy.” Led by Jason McKee, ReeToxA is a rock band that’s built on years of experience. There’s a strong sense of catharsis driving the project, where songwriting feels more like an emotional outlet than just a creative process. Their roots are firmly in rock, but there’s a clear willingness to experiment, blending 90s alt-rock influences with more modern, emotionally charged sounds. With parts of “Solil
