Scott Hepple and the Sun Band — Wildfires
UK psychedelic rock band Scott Hepple and the Sun Band has released “Wildfires,” new single off their debut album «Ashes to Wildflowers» which will be released on Vinyl and all digital platforms on September 22.
Introducing: VERA BLOOM // New Single “Eyes On You” Out Now!
“‘Eyes On You’ is my dance song!” shares Vera. “It started out as a love song, which is something I don’t really write often, but it leans into the possessiveness of love. It visits the loss of excitement in a relationship where things get a bit settled in and mundane. I’ve noticed that I am afraid of this stage in a relationship, so I used this song to process that. Over time, the lyrics have revealed new meanings as they always do and I can find the loss of childhood innocence where even the touch of skin is fascinating, and acknowledging the demons and darker feelings we find in adulthood. And, lastly, as I grow as an artist, I can see my desire to be seen and heard. My admission of wanting eyes on me and owning up to that. I wanted the video to be interesting, colorful, and also shine some light on the real rock and roll happening in the music. It’s about energy and making vibes through sound with other humans. This song, as with all my songs, really comes to life in a live band setting. I hope you like it!”
Alt R&B duo Mermaid announce debut LP + share grooving single/video “Purr”

The accompanying video showcases Campbell and Quarrels dancing in sync as black and white news footage is projected onto them.
WORMHOLE Rage Against the Machine on New Single
WORMHOLE warp brutal riffs and screeching dissonance into a signature tech-slam combo. So it’s no surprise that the Baltimore band are huge gamers. Their new album ‘Almost Human’ was inspired by stomping fools at Metroid and Doom as much as headbanging to Artificial Brain and Dysrhythmia.
Seth Glier Releases Timely Environmental Call To Action with New Single/Video “Rise”
“Efforts to fight climate change are quite often about saying no,” said Seth Glier. “Rewilding is different. It is about saying yes. In some places rewilding might look like putting the bends back into the river before it was straightened for agriculture so fish and ducks can build their nests and lay their eggs in the calmer water. In other places rewilding might mean reintroducing missing species. Rewilding requires human beings and communities to be in concert with nature; not just managing it, but activity participating in restoring the ecosystem that supports all of us. Imagine every national park connected by wild corridors so predators like bears and wolves could migrate freely across North America and be able to return to the places they have too long been estranged from.”

CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON FEATURING SNOH AALEGRA “FOREVER” OUT NOW
Toronto singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Charlotte Day Wilson returns to the spotlight today as a beacon of pure artistry with her new single “Forever,” featuring generational R&B talent Snoh Aalegra. Tethered loosely to a warped interpolation of The Foundations’ classic, “Baby, Now That I Found You”, Day Wilson’s lush vocals drift in and around a melancholy beat and ethereal piano, like smoke slowly sauntering from a candle just blown out. “Forever” also highlights the vulnerable songwriting and impeccably layered production that make Day Wilson a well-respected peer and coveted collaborator. Aalegra joins in powerfully, as the two lament not being able to create the space to hold onto a deeper and potentially impossible love.
