Bands and new music for fans of movements

Eden

by Reside

Hey, we're Reside and we're releasing out new song Eden, we hope you like it! The story takes place in the Garden of Eden, which felt fitting as a metaphor for a song about finding somewhere that you wish to be safe in, only to find out it has every intention of rejecting and turning against you.

For fans of

Levitation

by Relate.

We are pop-punk/emo (or "warpedtour-core" as I've affectionately named it) band from Denver called Relate. We released "Dreamland" last year and I figured I'd shoot it over to y'all. We definitely date ourselves with this track, it has much more in common with Brand New than it does with MGK.

Little Liaison

by Ivypaint

We're Ivypaint and this is our debut music video for our song 'Little Liaison'. The song was written as a therapy of sorts after some failed relationships and questionings of mental stability, so the lyrics are as raw, authentic, and honest as humanly-possible. We hope you enjoy!
