BOSSFIGHT

by Gnarlah

BOSSFIGHT is a song about revolt. Channelled through a nostalgic trip into the videogames we grew up on. The boss character in classic games is an icon that can represent anything the listener needs it to, whether it’s a toxic partner, a manager that put you through hell or even just self doubt.

Serotonin (Acoustic)

by Kr!s Cortez

I'm smoking on secondhand serotonin. Hi, my name is Kr!s Cortez. When punk goes acoustic, it brings a whole different meaning to the word "Emo". My song Serotonin tells a story, a story that many people are familiar with. Loneliness. With melancholy melodies and anthemic lyrics, to fill our void.
