Rachel Grae drops the new single “Good Side“. A catchy songs about only showing your good side, the trapping of social media. You’ll like if you want to revisit early 2010 vocal driven pop when Kelly Clarkson, Jessie J, and Katy Perry ruled the world.

Rachel Grae shares, “Social Media really taught everyone how to ‘fake it till you make it.’ It’s ok not to be ok. Not everything you see on social media is real life. I love you all”

Grae recently appeared on MTV’s Becoming A Popstar and has landed on Spotify playlists like Pop Sauce, New Pop Picks and Young & Free. She competed as one of eight up-and-coming artists with judges Joe Jonas, Becky G, and Sean Bankhead and was named the series’s first fan-favorite pick of the week for her video “Jersey.” Her singles “How To Be Alone” and songs “Bad Timing”, “Lived It Twice”, and “Outsider” have garnered over 2M streams across DSPs in less than a year.

Watch out for Semler and the track Don’t Tell Anyone. You’ll like if you’re fan of lo-fi indie rock. Think Tegan and Sara, Phoebe Bridgers, and King Princess. The 5-song EP chronicles the saga of emotion following the demise of a pivotal relationship. The February 2021 EP Preacher’s Kid, recorded independently and reached over a million streams in the first few months. In October 2021, Semler repeated the feat – again rising to #1 – with the EP Late Bloomer. It racked up more than 250k Spotify streams in its first week. Semler just wrapped up a tour supporting Relient K and just posted headline west coast dates.

Queens, NY indie rock outfit The Breaks Inc released a song called No Words (It’s Just This Thing That I Do). It’s the probably the best indie anthem I heard this year and would love to see the song get more streams.

The band says “We’re like The Strokes if they never got famous, or like Elton John if he wasn’t gay. We’re like the dollar store knockoff Beatles if they still had Pete Best for a drummer. We’re like Queen but if Queen was from Queens. Who are we? Maybe we’re just too wrapped up in another decade to be able to figure it out. One thing we do know is that our music is as addictive as a chain-smoking Netflix binge-watching gambler with a roll of quarters and a sweet slot machine. Also our frontman is probably clinically insane”.

The band has an upcoming show at The Bitter End in NYC on April 15th.

Look out for Ellie Maybe & The Cancellations and the track Happy Endings. You’ll like if you want something hooky, poppy and upbeat. Think Tegan and Sara, Warpaint, and The Jezabels. The Nashville indie rock act skillfully put together a 3 minute banger that includes a violin, synth, and layered harmonies.

The band says “Happy Endings (Aren’t for Us)” is a song of commiseration, written for a close friend going through a really rough time. Even though the lyrical content is bleak, I wanted it to speak to the comfort of knowing we’re all clawing through this life uphill together—and in that, I think there’s a hint of hope”

The band landed on several playlists including 360° ,The Best Indie Music, Updated Daily, The Rock Workout – Rock Music For The Gym.

Natalie Shay has dropped the new track Two Sparks. You’ll love if you like Lauren Spencer Smith “Fingers Crossed” and could connect if you’re in a dwindling long term relationship that has lost its spark.

“It’s honest and autobiographical, I wanted to write about something a bit deeper and more complex, something more relatable to anyone at any age in any relationship, whether it’s your high school sweetheart or your married partner” says the North London based artist.

Shay has grabbed the attention from Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, Clash and The Line of Best Fit and landed Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in 12 countries.
