TeamMate has released the second single from their upcoming EP. The new track “Yell Fire” is a pop track that makes you want to drive towards a desert night with the top down on a convertible as you watch the city lights fade behind you. The song deals with the dependability of a relationship and knowing that person will be for you no matter what. Listen to it below.

Nathan Bess released “Flows.” If you’ve haven’t listened to him yet, this is your sign. Bess captures you with a stripped down song that talks about escaping a moment and just getting away to where you connect to life and what matters. Listen below.

Noah Freeman has released the first of two singles from his upcoming full length album “The Ballad Of A Liar (And The Stories He Tells)” dropping November 12th. The single “Took A Shot” is a double entendre that references a few types of shots. The storytelling here is a fantastic reminder of old country music that circled back to the original idea much like a comedian who ends with a punchline they set up at the beginning of their show. Listen to the track below.

Emmalea Deal & The Hot Mess released another great track entitled “Thankful.” This song is a heartfelt heaping of gratitude to be out of a relationship and that other person now being an ex. Deal is fantastic at snark that makes you feel good and then question your existence. Check it out below.

Sweetheart Grip released a four song EP of pure punk rock called “Functional Machine.” If you’ve got an itch for old school punk that makes you want to jump in a mosh pit, look no further.
Listen here: Sweetheart Grip “Wise Up (In The Next Life)”
Kelsey Jeffries released a new single called “Tricks” that sees her work with Zach McCord as a producer. The pairing paid off in the final result, as this song is one of Jeffries best to date. The track is an ode to the head games that so many of us find ourselves trapped in and how it’s hard to break free from them.
