Lizzie & the Makers
“Dear Onda Wahl”
Single
Self-released
Atop granite foundations of AC/DC and Black Sabbath, New York City’s Lizzie & the Makers layer the grooving rock of The Allman Brothers Band and Pink Floyd’s melodic psychedelia with lurking hints of blues/country rootsiness and their accomplished love of the avant-garde.
Mr. Mota
“Smoke Too Much”
Single
Self-released
These guys smoke too much, but they also rip. Mr. Mota has been wondrously blending genres with intense jams, crowd-capturing hooks and fiery youthful energy since May 2021. They started by bringing the tastiest of grooves to the backyards of Boulder, Colo., now you can hear them anywhere you like.
Pink Beds
“Tunnel Vision”
Single
Self-released
Pink Beds is a cerebral indie pop band formed in 2020 at the cusp of the initial lockdowns. Composed of four friends from Asheville, N.C., they’ve cultivated a strong bond through a shared passion for lush soundscapes, artfully crafted tunes and rhythms you can’t help but feel.
Meyru
“Marcy, Pts. 1 & 2”
Single
Self-released
“Marcy, Pts. 1 & 2” is the band at its peak. The back-half jam of this song naturally came together in a one-off session at the band’s rehearsal studio in Brooklyn, N.Y. The amount of little gems on the number makes it a fun listen and keeps you wanting to come back for more.
Jess Novak
“FU”
From The EP Bad Bitch
Self-released
Jess Novak is a triple-threat singer, songwriter and musician who swaps between five-string electric violin, guitar, piano, percussion and powerful vocals. With eleven original albums to her name and a book, Novak is the definition of prolific.

“Stick And Poke Tattoo”
Single
American Standard Time
AC Sapphire’s serpentine songs weave their way through dreamy desert landscapes. Simple subjects become complex observations in Sapphire’s poetic songwriting style. Reverb-laden, densely layered rock-and-roll, droning intricate guitar playing.
