Hailing from the fertile rock breeding ground of Milan, Italy, Atwood introduced themselves to the local scene with the release of their first single – Black Mirror, which was just the beginning of a storyline. Their debut EP, at odds, delivered in November 2018, has been defined as "a seamless blend of pop, alternative rock, synth and electronics and some post-hardcore influences flowing into one melting pot of sound, enriched by alluring vocals."

The band immediately started working up a strong following in Milan's pop-punk, alternative scene, playing shows with icons such as Eyes Set to Kill and Lost. On October 2019, Atwood released Dance In The Sun, marking the beginning of a new approach to their songwriting and lyrical content: catchy, yet meaningful, poppy, yet well rounded, Dance In The Sun is the first single off an upcoming EP, to be released in 2021.

On April 30 the band released another single off the upcoming EP, called Ghost. The track masterfully merges modern pop ambiences with a melancholic, earworm-like pop punk chorus ready to get clubs jumping.

Out Of The Blue is the title of the just released new single. Using the band's own words, it "tells the beauty of waiting for something good to come – and the wait becomes a bubble we lock ourselves in, oblivious of the passage of time. Out of sight, out of mind has never been more unrealistic."

Atwood are quickly becoming one of the best Europan indie/alternative pop rock bands: check the official video for Out Of The Blue (click on the image) and discover why.

Indie-rock trio Lone Kodiak has released their newest electrifying single, Bones. The song delivers a nostalgic message about life, love, and loss that listeners can relate to with sweeping electric guitar, cinematic drums, and haunting vocals.

The band explains that the process of writing this track was just as mesmerizing as the song itself: "Bones was a happy, happy accident. We were experimenting with intros for our live set; we took one of our previous songs, slowed it down, and reversed it (which is what you'll hear at the beginning). We were totally captivated by this melody we kept hearing, and two hours later, we had a new song. I think our best songs are ones that just kind of come together naturally without a ton of interference from us."

Bones delivers an emotional and intimate impact that will leave listeners wanting more: a stunning track that hints at what's to come.

Bones is now available to stream and download on digital music platforms worldwide.

2020 has been a year of trials and tribulations. So many things have impacted us all: Covid-19, a crashing economy, political turmoil, and overall stress and strife. So it's fitting that as this year winds down, Little Hurt sums up this angsty time period with a banger we can all sing along, move and get our collective frustrations out to, My Head Hurts. The song is now available world-wide and will be included on a new EP Every Second slated for release on January 29th, 2021.

With a sing-along chorus and blazing guitars atop a background of a bouncing, infectious rhythm Little Hurt's Colin Dieden (The Mowgli's) explains "I wrote 'My Head Hurts' kind of out of necessity. This has been an incredibly tough year - for everyone. And I'm no exception. So many life changing events took place for me in such a short period of time and there were moments where I felt kind of hopeless". He continues "I really just needed to yell into a microphone and play my guitar really loud and that's what I did. I think anyone hearing this song will be able to apply it to whatever is happening in their own lives and even the state of the world."

"It's been a year now since we've released new music, some of ya'll even asked if we were still a band, the answer is YES we are. We haven't spent the last 6 years of our lives to give up this easily on something we've bled over, we've fought for and we've given our lives for. Although the world is a crazy place right now, touring is nonexistent, music is slowly changing to something different. We thought it was time to finally start the releasing process, it was time to show ya'll what we've spent the last 3 years working on since Damned Soul."

Rock trio Lone Kodiak has released their newest exhilarating single, PDX '97. The indie-rock single chronicles the emotional rollercoaster and true story of love and teenage runaways with sentimental lyrics, captivating storytelling, and a powerful driving beat.

The rock trio composed of Dainéal Parker, Daniel Alden, and Joshua Harris delivers an anthemic and cinematic track produced by Kyle Mangels, reflecting on lead vocalist Dainéal Parker’s young love story.

"This is the true story of one teenage runaway falling in love with another on the streets of Portland, OR., in the late 90s,” Parker explains. “I normally shy away from writing anything too personal or plainly autobiographical, but the vibe of this song just took me right back to those hot days and cold nights I spent wrapped around the finger of a girl, and our summer trying to find couches to crash on but often settling for cardboard.”

Lone Kodiak brings a vast and atmospheric sound, blended with intimate and heartfelt storytelling depicting head over heels love and the unpredictable adventure of a teenage love story.

PDX '97 is now available to stream and download on digital music platforms worldwide.

Jake Is Lloyd consists of Michael Edwards and Alex Arnaout, two Los Angeles bred musicians that are making stadium-sized music out of their bedrooms. 

Jake Is Lloyd are releasing a six song EP titled Prey & Predator today, August 21.

With over a quarter of a million streams on the EP's featured single Madeline, Jake Is Lloyd has already captivated thousands of fans with their unique take on alternative rock.

These songs sonically and lyrically illustrate how the contrasting feelings of self-assured power and insecure vulnerability manifested during the duo's time in college.

In the creation of the Prey & Predator EP, they have taken a wide range of influences from The 1975 and The Band CAMINO to Bon Iver and Lord Huron.

Prey & Predator is one of the best surprises of the year, a mature and compelling EP that will be your end-of-summer soundtrack. Check it out clicking on the image.

Today, August 20, Arkells unveil Campfire Chords, a stripped back collection featuring 17 of their most beloved songs plus brand new single Quitting You.

As the music landscape continues to evolve in 2020, Arkells took a pause from working on their upcoming studio album and went back to their roots, reinterpreting past material and rediscovering the singer-songwriter spirit that has long informed their trademark sing-a-longs.

Quitting You, the only new song on the album, was inspired by the togetherness of this special project and is about finding comfort in the people closest to you. Campfire Chords marks the band’s first full-length presentation of this side of their music.

"We've never had time to make an 'acoustic record' because we were too busy playing shows and focusing on new music. But we also knew that they felt really good to play in a stripped back way. All of our big rock 'n' roll songs start with an acoustic or piano, so heading back to that place isn’t too much of a stretch. We wanted a healthy mix of our bigger songs and deep cuts. Songs that would be fun to listen to around the campfire, or in your backyard, or at a park. In 2020, we've mostly been playing for each other, but Campfire Chords is an opportunity to stay connected with our fans until we can see them in real-life again soon" commented Arkells frontman Max Kerman.
