Maddie Zahm - Everything All The Time

Alt-pop singer/songwriter Maddie Zahm announces her stunning sophomore studio album, Everything All The Time, arriving September 25, 2026, via MNRK Nashville. Rather than treating growth as a final destination, Everything All The Time embraces it as an ongoing process, one rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the continual journey of coming home to yourself. Through her transcendent vocals, she reminds us that tapping into the full breadth of the universe isn’t always easy. The track opens with delicate piano keys before cracking wide open to make room for sweeping acoustic guitar and thunderous toms, her voice rising to the moment, a totemic beam lighting through the clouds. Catch the tracks live this fall on her tour starting September 11th.

Niko Moon - Get Country

While the album ROOTS finds Moon telling his origin story with more honesty and depth than ever before, “GET COUNTRY” captures the celebratory side of that journey. As Moon explains, the album may dig into where he comes from and why music became so important to him, but it was equally important to include a song that was simply about celebration: “a barn burner” made to make people “put some dirt on the boots and just party.” Consider it a full-throttle contender for the country song of the year, and maybe the most country song of them all.

The Family - The End

The Family – featuring Dylan LeBlanc with his dad, and his stepmom and brother who are all also accomplished musicians in their own right, and together sound like the second coming of The Eagles, Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac! “The End” is a taut as it is timeless, soulful folk rock with lush vocal harmonies, jazzy chord progressions and an irresistible groove that could be easily found on a lost Eagles or Steely Dan album. The lyrics, sung by James LeBlanc, predict a dark storm ahead. “To me the song is about nihilism. People’s fascination with post-apocalyptic hysteria.” stated James, adding, “ Tapping into that whole “staring into the abyss kind of "what does it all mean” mentality wasn’t hard to do because that’s kind of where we come from as people. I hope it resonates with a lot of people . This song represents what we’re about as a family and artists. It offers personal commentaries about the various states of mind of people from all walks of life.”

Max Mcnown - First Born Daughter

Speaking of the new track, McNown says, “‘First Born Daughter’ is an easy-listening track inspired by the woman I bet my life on. As a middle child, I know that every number in the birthing order can come with its benefits, as well as its quirks. Being the oldest child in her family, my wife has developed negative views on some of her own personality traits, traits I ironically love the most. The entire song is written to flip the script, and shine a light on all the ways marrying my wife was the best decision I’ve ever made.”

Math Myth - Lift

Myth Math (AKA Matthew S) released “Lift,” the cerebral yet deeply fun latest single previewing his forthcoming debut EP Tongues, due out on July 10th. “This song is about my childhood memories of driving around in my uncle's white Toyota pickup truck,” Matthew explains. “He blasted heavy metal on cassettes, and I felt empowered by my first immersion into a musical subculture. The slowed-down video of Ozzy Osbourne's band from 1981 is the perfect embodiment of that era and the freedom I sensed in the music. I can also see where my uncle got his hairstyle and cool demeanor." In contrast to the EP’s kinetic lead single “Deep Down” (ft. drums by Failure’s Kellii Scott), “Lift” contains no samples and is the most straightforward track on the four-song EP.

Lockimara - Taste Like

New York-by-way-of-Toronto artist Lockimara, aka project mastermind Nicholas Gay–today shared his new single “Tastes Like,” the second from his forthcoming album, Only Sun, Only Moon. “‘Tastes Like’ is one of the songs I’m most proud of on the album, for the risks and rewards I think its unconventionality carries. It’s a personal song that attempts to encapsulate my feelings of powerlessness and resignation surrounding my 20s,” Gay explains of the glitchy pop song, out now alongside a video. “It also doesn’t have any discernible lyrics for the first minute and a half of the song, making it a write-off by most industry or pop metrics. Breaking and pushing these metrics of what can be considered ‘pop’ or ‘accessible’ is something I’m always trying to focus on.” “Tastes Like” follows the dynamic lead single “December,” and Only Sun, Only Moon will be released on July 24, 2026, via Play Dead (preorder here).

Bye Parula - Something Out Of Nothing

Bye Parula’s new album Something Out Of Nothing out now,  via Secret City Records. In celebration of the release, the Montreal trio has shared the video for the infectious title track. “This one is like an introvert’s anthem, as if you see someone so free out in the world that you envy them and want to talk to them but you just can’t. Everything is going so fast in your head, but nothing comes out,” explains singer/bassist Loïc Calatayud-Sola of the song. “I loved the two meanings of that title. As a band, we’ve made something out of nothing: We just worked our ass off, we didn't have connections, this was not our country, so it was like, ‘Yeah, we have to do something out of nothing to create this music…” Something Out Of Nothing is divided into two parts for the listener’s experience: ‘Songs to Listen to in a Standing Position’ and ‘Songs to Listen to in a Sitting Position.’ Two atmospheres that seem diametrically opposed yet are ultimately and intimately connected. Whether racing through the night or settling into dawn’s light, each track is woven from the same thread: love made alive by care. In this way, the album unfolds as a complete story. Its standing-position songs celebrate how love moves us, while its sitting-position songs reveal how love holds us. Together, they remind us of the necessity of both movement and stillness, of brightness and depth embracing the joy that lifts us and the pain that grounds us. Urging us to dance. Urging us to pause.

Seahaven - Seahaven

Seahaven has released their long awaited new, self-titled album, out now via Pure Noise Records. Additionally, they’ve released the new music video for “Million Ways”. Across the album, Seahaven balances deeply introspective lyrics with some of the most memorable hooks of their career. Songs like “Hellbound,” “February Flowers,” and “Infinite Blue” pair emotional weight with soaring melodies, while quieter moments such as “Remember Me” and the closing track “Companion” explore themes of memory, loss, and the fragile nature of life. “This album takes elements from all of our previous releases and rolls them into one,” says Soto. “It accurately represents our sound, so it felt fitting to have it serve as a statement that says, ‘This is the sound of the band.’

Shearwater - Slugs in the Marigolds

Shearwater released "Slugs in the Marigolds," the third single previewing the band’s anticipated new album The New World, due out on July 31st via the band’s own Polyborus label in partnership with Secretly Distribution. The scintillating track–out now with a video directed by Shearwater’s Jonathan Meiburg and Jason Benson–gives us a side of the band we’ve never heard:  slinky, careless, almost seedy. It begins mid-stride, as if we've just found the band playing in an empty warehouse; featured woodwind legend Doug Wieselman’s casually beautiful saxophone summons the ghost of Roxy Music. "This was a band favorite on The New World,” Meiburg says.”We liked how its loose, sunny feeling plays against the lyric–and we loved how Doug’s sax slithers up beside you.”

Lolitslea - Burnout!! Burnout!!

Neon pop punk artist lolitslea is excited to announce her highly anticipated sophomore album RollerCoaster Tycoon, set to be released on September 15. “RollerCoaster Tycoon is not only an iconic computer game from the early 2000s, it's a way of life,” shares Lea. “If I had to describe my life's anthem or pick a "soundtrack to my life", this would be it, I wrote it! Life is a rollercoaster (cliche). You can become a part of my chaos, but if you can't handle it, there's the door!” About the new single, she adds: “Often as artists, we have to work multiple jobs to be able to pursue a career in music. The universe is always saying "get some rest and make sure you sleep at night, but then wake up and work a 9-5.. and then a 5-9" (oh wait, I guess I technically said that!) I walked into my writing session that day with heavy eyelids and a fast heart rate, leading to us writing ‘BURNOUT!! BURNOUT!!’” 

Zolita - Hardcore

Serving as the album's thesis statement, the first single, "Hell’s Belles," introduced the central duality that runs throughout the record. Blending country and rock influences with Zolita's signature pop sensibilities, the track establishes the two opposing worlds that define the project: BELLES and HELL. The title track acts as a declaration of intent, embracing contradiction rather than trying to resolve it. As Zolita explains, the album reflects "my split influences and dual nature as both an artist and a person. I am Hell, and I am Belle." Where "Hell’s Belles" opened the door, "HARDCORE" kicks it off its hinges. Marking the transition into the album's darker second half, the track captures what Zolita describes as "the moment the album flips, when Belle transforms into her more hedonistic alter ego." Trading romance for impulse and vulnerability for desire, "HARDCORE" plunges headfirst into a gritty electro-pop landscape fueled by instinct, power, and temptation.
