Today we premiere “Rat U Out,” the new single from Southern New Hampshire/Boston indie rock band Happy Just To See You. The track appears on their forthcoming album Last Week’s Horse, due in May, and showcases the band’s blend of indie rock, alt-country, and emo. The song plays on the tension of unrequited love at a wedding, after holding your tongue during the classic “speak now or forever hold your peace” moment.

In our latest artist profile, we feature experimental indie rock/folk act Lesbiana. Her contribution to our compilation daylight x darknight is a personal and powerful “stream-of-consciousness song” written in high school. In our “Get to know” article, we discuss influences, processing emotions through songwriting, strange comparisons, and synth folk.

On their new EP CHIME, HEAVY SLEEPER demonstrates their growth in melodic hooks, songwriting, and production. Drawing influences from alt-rock, shoegaze, and post-punk, their sound results in their self-proclaimed genre of "space punk." We connected with the band on their start, songwriting process and more.
