Psychtooth is described as creating “melancholy junk rock,” combining elements of lo-fi, alt-rock, garage rock, and punk rock in their album “Party Patrick Doesn’t Wanna Party Anymore.” The Garden Roads, led by Tim Malcarney, showcase their debut album “Destination Never Knows,” filled with potential hits that make it difficult to choose which songs to play. New Antics bring a catchy, angsty, high-energy vibe with their self-titled debut album.

A Color Engine revisits their 2007-2008 album “Voyage Underwater; 56 Knots” with a 2026 reissue where they have reworked the original mixes, resulting in an incredible new version. Southpaw offers timeless country songs like “Tumbleweeds” that stand out in a modern country era that may sound less country to some listeners. Ipkiss’s latest single “Paper Under the Tongue” is infectiously catchy, while Ferocious Designs embraces a yacht rock influence in “You Better Hold On Tight.”

In the “Not New, But Memorable Corner,” The Brixton Riot’s “Deal With The Devil” is highlighted as a hook-filled power-pop song that has left a lasting impression since its debut in 2008.
