Name: Do What You Can by MatAre
Duration: 2 min 55 s
Description: This is a call to action. We only get a little bit of time here on earth-then this is over. DO WHAT YOU CAN to make this place better. Right now there are people who need our help. If you're good at being an asshole- then do that, if you're good at making art-then do that. If you can kick ass- then go kick some ass and help those who can't.

For all-girl band Acid Wave, new album heart2heart, set for release on May 5, 2023, centers around the joy that bursts through when we find our home in others, be it romantic or platonic. The Texas-based five-piece describe themselves as “besties,” and are constantly inspired by each other, and it’s on heart2heart that Acid Wave shows us what can happen when you surround yourself with those you really trust.

Drummer/vocalist and songwriter Audrey Villalobos began writing what would become heart2heart after she moved to Oklahoma due to her time in the Air Force. Keyboardist/vocalist Jet Gil-Robert, guitarist/vocalist Eva Vasquez, bassist/vocalist Isanette Olivarez, and drummer/vocalist Mary Moreck stayed in El Paso, Texas and the band worked remotely for several years to bring together the collection of songs.

“I just felt so much love and I wanted to put that into songs for my partner,” Villalobos says. But heart2heart isn’t just a love story; instead, it interweaves all the growing pains of learning to love yourself too.

Everything and Nothing

Forever Light is the latest single from Atlanta based artist, MatAre. It explores themes of faith.

Forever Light

Watching the stars 
Stars and sky 
Until I'm under 
Under the ground 
Wish on a star
Stars in the sky
Sky take me away
Away from alone
You were my only dream
You were my everything
Everything is nothing 
Nothing without you
You were my only love
The love of my life

the meaning of life is as follows.....try really hard at whatever it is you want to do and then die

That's What People Do

Lead single from Matare off their upcoming album, "Extinction Burst". Attach Your Memories is a carefree, nostalgic song evoking images of personified elements of nature and a deep sense of longing. Mixed and mastered by Gabe Wolf with drums from Francesca Pratt. This is the opening song from Extinction Burst and is meant to be a palette cleanse for the rest of the album which becomes more fierce and chaotic.

Attach Your Memories

“Старий поглянув на безмежний простір моря й збагнув, який він тепер самотній. Проте побачив він і райдужні відсвіти в темній товщі води, й туго напнуту жилку, що зникала в глибині, й дивне коливання тихої морської гладіні. Тепер і над морем скупчувались хмари, віщуючи пасат, а глянувши вперед, старий побачив табун диких качок, що летіли над водою, чітко вирізняючись на тлі неба,— на якийсь час їх обриси неначе затуманювались, тоді знов ставали чіткі,— і він зрозумів, що людина в морі ніколи не буває самотня.”

Slicing Knives

Why'd you ever make me want you? Some days I just can't stop thinking about you and others I wonder why I'm wasting my time.

The Further That They Go
