Check out these indie rock gems from Mary in the Junkyard, Been Stellar and more!
1. “NVR RLLY” – King Isis
King Isis combines compassion with chaos, leaving a lasting impression with “NVR RLLY.” As the singer relents a tale of moving past a toxic relationship, she navigates the dynamics necessary for such an upsetting topic. Similar to a siren, King Isis finds their own version of catharsis through this track, singing their heart out.
2. “All In One” – Been Stellar
Been Stellar, fresh off their supporting act for The 1975, toys what’s to come with track “All In One.” Eating away at the core of late-stage capitalistic tendencies, the song characterizes the prison that’s the classic 9-5 workstyle. With high-powered drumming heard throughout, the song captures the rage the band feels over the shackles of the current stage we’re in.
3. “Marble Arch” – Mary in the Junkyard
Mary in the Junkyard serves a live rendition of indie rock song, “Marble Arch.” The song, dedicated to the feeling of leaving home and not coming back, laments over the pain of missing loved ones, especially siblings. The frontwoman captures this pain dutifully, her emotive vocals moving listeners easily through the duration of the track.
4. “Docket” – Blondshell feat. Bully
Blondshell and Bully team up to deliver their alt song, “Docket.” Blondshell’s latest release since the fall of last year, sings harmoniously with Bully over the temptation of hooking up with a fan while on tour. She says the quiet part out loud, showing her crafty way of blurring the lines over her music.
5. “Gravity” – The Dangerous Summer
Closing out our playlist is the high-octane energy of indie band The Dangerous Summer with their latest track, “Gravity.” The song is about learning to navigate past personal issues and growing from the pain within, perfectly combined with the song’s music video of flying throughout the planet. “Gravity” is a great song to start the band’s new era, encouraging listeners alike to grow from the past.
