When you’re feeling down on yourself, do you ever put on music to lift your spirits? Music has the power to brighten our mood, reduce stress, and improve your health and overall well-being. Here are some new singles, previews, and freebies for the end of summer.

Brad Brooks‘s new album God Save The City is let for October release. This preview track is loosely based on Roky Erickson (13th Floor Elevators) mental issues. Have you thanked your local postal worker?

Geoff Palmer & Lucy Ellis cover John Prine’s track “In Spite of Ourselves” – it’s a great cover, check it out!

This is a new Melbourne band Lava Fangs recalls late 80s rock with a catchy chorus in “Line Up For A Broken Heart”

Ryan Hamilton and the Harlequin Ghosts have a new LP set to release next month. “Can I Get An Amen” is a rocker that reminds me of Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive”

New Persian Leaps! The band sounds really tight here. New EP set for September release.

The trio of Nick Bertling, Scott, and Kevin Robertson try a modern update of the classic Kinks LP. Very faithfully rendered and wonderfully performed. FREEBIE!

Rum Bar Records artists deliver a boatload of tracks; enjoy Brad Marino, The Laissez Fairs, Tom Baker and the Snakes, Justine and the Unclean, The Dirty Truckers, Spanking Charlene, and many more! It’s all at a “name-your-price.” Enjoy!
