Leopardo – Funicular (Fribourg, Switzerland) – this killer kick-off track was one that didn’t make it to the finally release pf their newest LP “SIDE A / SIDE B” – happy to share it now!

PYPY – You Make No Sence (Montreal, QC) – Love version of this ESG classic by this modern-times downtown/dance punk outfit

Kilynn – Nuke the USA (rural New Jersey/Philadelphia) – Newest timely message from Ms.Lunsford and crew.

The Terminal Wasteband – “Strange Domestic Fowl” (Portland, OR) – Recent unreleased track from this outsider, psych rock combo, started in New Mexico and landed in Portland

Feathery Tongues – This Way Please (NYC) – Golden Dawn cover from this new synth/wave duo with many bands under their belt

Mountain Movers – When You Give Up (New Haven, CT) – New England’s finest pastoral psych rockers found this one on the cutting room floor for us – unreleased from recent sessions.

Darius Denominator – Pass the Phraser (NYC) – Who is Darius Denominator? What are these electric sounds? Only you will know…

Genre is Death – Prized Tune (NYC) - intense electro-punk duo – you can say you knew them when, BEFORE they blow up!

Glintshake – Nedolzh (Russia/Belgrade/??) – KILLER live track from this amazing band. Formed in Moscow and now scattered across Europe – real deal art-rock for the 21st Century. Was incredibly fortunate to catch a live set in Amsterdam in ’24 – amazing.

Cartoon – Cosmic Ray Car Burial (Philadelphia, PA) – Genre hopping art-punk, melding psych/prog/space rock/post-punk into the finest batch of sounds.

Fruited Planes – Los Angeles is Burning (Portland, OR) – shades of bummer, outsider psych rocknroll from this current DotDash fave from the PNW! Members of Monoshock, Jackie-O-Motherfucker and more – heavy

Leda – Tulip Mania (Sweden) – We’re thrilled to include this unreleased track from Sofie Herner’s solo soundscape project. Herner has been a longtime member of the enigmatic collective, Enhet För Fri Musik.

Webb Chapel – Non Roman (Philadelphia, PA) Fantastic arty/indie rock from this recent band. We fell in love with their 2024 “World Cup” LP! This is an alternate version of an instro track from upcoming follow up LP.

Nowhere Flower Group – It Burns (Portland, OR) – Another example of the insane talent in Portland these days. Lila Jarzombek started this as a solo project and has now augmented the far-out sounds with a full band. Cosmic.

CUGY – English Song (Switzerland/Belgium) – When I reached out to Romain from Leopardo for an unreleased track, he also sent along this fab collab! A gem of an indie track from Romain and his pal Luc from the Belgian band Reymour – new band alert?

Lavender Flu – Aerosol of Doves (Portland, OR) – Keep it coming, PDX! A wild unreleased one from these premier freaks! I knew when we reached out for something for the comp, we’d be in for a sonic treat!

Red Herrings – Suns Out (Holyoke, MA) – Demo version of new track from the Dot Dash Sounds debut band! Killer, hard rock hooks forever. New LP coming in late ‘25/’26!

Guiding Light – Fear on My Own Time (Austin, TX) – Killer arty postpunk from this recent outfit – jittery rhythms with a searing drive.

PTC – Punch Me in the Face (Western Mass) – Who is PTC? Damaged diy demos from this one-man (soon to be full) band. Members of Red Herrings and who knows who else…more to come
