Everything In Between

by Evergreener

I wrote this single when I was just coming out of a toxic relationship. The healing process was so consuming that it felt like this entity had wedged itself within my memories of the relationship-transpiring into feelings of anger, deception, manipulation, and finally, freedom.

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.

Branches

by MAUVE

We wrote this during the first lockdown by sending voice notes beats and demos to each other. We believe this is our most rocky/angsty song yet and captures the frustrations of being a band during the recent pandemic.

Negative (I Wish I Was)

by Lapyear

We take inspiration from early grunge, emo alongside DIY emo/punk influences, such as the likes of Oso Oso and Balance & Compsure. Lyrically, "Negative" is a subtle dig to anyone that tries to hold you back.

Shinjuku

by Prey Drive

Shinjuku is a district in Tokyo. The song is about comparing your life to other people’s. Always thinking they are ahead and have their shit together while you are ‘still spinning around’ trying to find your footing or path in life : optimistic look on life and a good message to not give up

Lapyear

With this release, we decided to take a more direct approach to stay true to our live sound and keep everything as stripped back as possible. The result has left us with what we think is our best work to date, and we’re stoked to putting it out with Venn Records
