"Last Rodeo" by Torfevas fits comfortably in that sweet space between country and soft acoustic territory.

OpCritical's "Parachute" is a chant for people who demand freedom, justice, and joy in their lives and their nations.

The idea of getting in a car and driving far away from our "hellish" problems is certainly a tempting one. And that is exactly the metaphor Rob Fletcher uses in "Hell's Gate".

I truly just went in expecting a chill acoustic tune from Kevin Honold, but instead got smacked in the face with joy. "Waterfall" is a really fun listen.

"Ariel Cyclone" is his debut single, and my personal highlight about it is how unpretentious it is. The ideal song for cruising the 101 on two wheels with the wind doing all the talking.

SoundFarm's "Suck It Up" was born spontaneously during a rehearsal jam and recorded live. The guitar licks are pure 80s rock sensual fantasy.

"My Fault" is Durango Blue at their most deceptively simple! The song moves with a funky acoustic groove around it alongside Paul's steel guitar curling around the edges.

"Watch Me Die Inside" is highkey more of a psychological exhibit, like, three rooms, each one illuminating a different state of internal collapse, each one refusing to look away.
