All My Friends Hate Me - Stay Up [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“This track is about the silver lining of shitty times. That might sound depressing, but it shouldn’t, because this single is delivered with energy and sometimes it takes a rough patch to find out who you can count on in this world. What is more Rock and Roll than that? ”
No Time For Reason - Catfish [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A Punk Pop anthem that delivers an energetic punch.
’Catfish’ is about exactly what you think it is, but that predictability is not a negative, because the band goes full throttle start to finish. ”
NØLN - Ghost [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“We all have that ‘Ghost’ or two that haunts us, but few in this world have the vocal talent on display in this single. The rasp in the voice is perfect for a song that fits in between a true Rock ballad and the Pop melody behind the track.”
Arson Daily - Pipe Dream [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

Arson Daily asks this question with a intriguing lyrics and a nice Indie Rock vibe. Engaging guitar driven melody and tantalizing vocals carry this track. ”
southpost - Homesick [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Kendall Rucks - Everybodys Girl [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

The Criticals - Got No Love [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“I have fast become a big fan of The Criticals. There is a nostalgic quality to both their sound and songwriting, or rather I should say — classical sound, because there is nothing dated about their music.
The melody hooked me here before the lyrics quickly establishing another single to the band’s impressive EP Mimosa Hygiene, which is not out in its entirety.”
Jake Isaac - Wasting My Love [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Rhythmic and beat driven, like a chain gang melody, this track is arresting to the ears in the best possible way.
Full of rock attitude and talent, Jake Isaac has a winner with ‘Wasting My Love.’”
courtship. - Number 1 [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A slow easy groove full of heartbreak.
’Number 1’ is about the times when the one you desire, does not choose you.
Giving off a classic 70s, almost Elton style, melody this old school rock song hits home for anyone that has come in second place when being first is all that truly matters. Fans in LA can catch courtship. December 9th at The Echo.”
Hannah Connolly - House/Home [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Heartfelt and emotional, the little touch of vulnerability in Connolly’s voice, showcases the emotion behind the lyrics. This track feels like coffee house folk, with a splash of Americana.”
NevilleSounds - Ending Scene [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“NevilleSounds began writing this song to better understand the emotions of a friend diagnosed with cancer, but the theme expanded from there to the plight of many.
The track is heavy in a rock ballad kind of way and 100% of the download proceeds go to the charity Rethink Mental Illness ... so check it out because the world needs more empathy all the way around.”
COUNTERFEIT. - "It Gets Better" [Music Video Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“A slow building track that offers a look at the generational gaps that exist in attitudes, goals, and ideas. The track brings a fun energy for such a protest song, but perhaps that will make more people pause and listen and truly think about the message.
The video incorporates the family aspect of the band’s fan base by inviting them them for the filming in a message of inclusion.”
Scott Martin - Bringing Hollywood Back To Life [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“An energetic ode to hope ... and a pledged return to what once was golden.
Scott Martin delivers a straightforward rock song with hints of Elton in the vocals, and a splash of Springsteen to the melody.”
LUC - Over It [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Another Pop triumph from LUC. Here the sweet vocals contain an attitude and a edge that makes for a fun contrast.
A hearty dose of attitude is rarely this fun.”
Visc - Can't Remove the Bite [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Visc has channeled a catchy beat and melody straight from 1985 with this track. The vocals will conjure thoughts of THE Cars to purveyors of the classics and lyrically this track brings a punk edge, to go with the Indie Rock sound. ”
Confetti - Ghost [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Don’t vanish before you take a listen to this track by Confetti.
No matter which side of the ghosting phenomenon you find yourself on, you will appreciate the lyrics and energetic Alternative Rock vibe to this single. Catchy in a way ghosts, nor those bad Tinder dates, ever are, this is a track you will want to listen to more than once.”
Hudson Rainer - Country Home [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Bringing a throwback sound, Hudson Rainer has channeled the vibe of vintage Neil Young and The Band to give us a track that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Stripped down emotional music at its best. I like it! ”
Zuffalo - Saskatchewan [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“This single puts off a solid Southern Rock vibe, but given Zuffalo hail from our neighbors up above, I suppose you will have to call this ... Northern Rock.
The high vocal register works well here and the guitar riffs are old school alluring.”
LUC - Glow [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“This band out of Los Angeles describes themselves as LA Garagetronic. For me the sound came across as a dash of disco, and a whole lot of electro, but no matter how you describe it, this track has some juice.
The vocals are sexy in a dystopian kind of way, and the entire single does indeed ‘Glow.’”
