Cut Me Some Slack

by Take It Easy Mikey

Featuring two members from Two Trains Left, Take It Easy Mikey is a new project. With melancholic melodies mixed with mellow riffs combined with a punk attitude, the band is a perfect blend of pop, grunge, and indie. This is what we call Backyard Indie Rock.

Stay

by Snark

We're Snark! We're excited to share our new song "Stay" with you. It's an oddly positive song about losing a loved one and searching for closure. We tackle a relatively heavy topic with a high-energy song that you can bop to - because there's nothing more cathartic than dancing away that darkness.

  • Punk/Emo

HATE CLUB

by Clay J Gladstone

HATE CLUB is about a teenage relationship being torn apart by the jealous friends’ group, only to have those same jealous friends slide into your DMs months later. It's about standing your ground in a relationship and calling out poor behaviour when you see it.

Survive

by Down For Tomorrow

Down For Tomorrow have released a new single ‘Survive’, from their EP ‘Whatever Happens’. The first chorus paves the way for a sweat-soaked singalong before thudding drums and propelling bass combine fiercely, as the band delivers a persistent message about staying hopeful in a time of bleakness.

Cardboard Box

by Squidge

We're Squidge, a four-piece comprised of silly sad punks. Today we released our new track, Cardboard Box, which covers a deep self-reflection of a person's life from their deathbed. It's not all doom and gloom though as the track is 3 minutes of killer riffs, breakdowns and monstrous choruses! Enjoy!

  • Alternative Punk/Grunge

Simple Functions

by Squidge

Squidge are THE Alternative Punk band from Bath/Bristol UK. We have been active in the Bristol/Bath scene since 2015, supporting acts such as Phoxjaw, Muskets, and Sick Joy. Simple Functions is as equally high adrenaline and abrasive as it is melancholic.
