Going Out Tonight is the new full-length from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside rock outfit The Get Arounds. It’s a hook-heavy mix of power pop, alternative rock, and pop-punk, big guitars, punchy rhythms, no filler. For fans of Blondie, Dead Boys, L7, Bikini Kill, and Sex Pistols. A tighter, more focused follow-up that cuts straight to the chorus and doesn’t let up.

Portland-based singer/songwriter Shawn Brown will release his new single, “What a Way to Go,” on July 24 via Bootney Lee Records. An anthemic, full-throttle rocker about doomed young love fighting to survive against impossible odds, the song marks one of Brown’s biggest and most electrified releases to date.

Written from a place of hard-earned confidence, “Walk Through Fire” emerged after Hayden realized she had finally moved beyond a difficult breakup. Rather than dwelling on the pain, the song reflects the moment she stopped making excuses for someone else’s behaviour and recognized she deserved more.

MV Wells’ debut album Le Dauphin lands May 29, delivering a sharp, melody-driven mix of indie rock and orchestral pop. Drawing from Nilsson, Bacharach, and early Lennon, the Chicago songwriter blends lush arrangements with a dry, off-center edge. A strong first solo statement from a NE-HI and Spun Out alum, for fans of Electric Light Orchestra, Nick Lowe, and The Beach Boys.
