My selection - Part 1

Gravelheart Relay tears forward with sixteen indie-rooted rock tracks that hit like boots against asphalt—loud, charismatic, and charged with raw-motion energy. The album carries the crunch of overdriven guitars, the punch of a live-room drum kit, and the human urgency of voices that don’t hide behind polish. Each track leans into momentum: riffs that rev like engines, basslines that rumble with soldered confidence, and choruses that ignite without warning. It’s an album soaked in sweat, amplifier heat, and that irresistible sense of running toward something just out of reach. Nothing drifts here; everything drives.

*Update: since some of you have been asking us privately who’s singing, let’s clear it up. Tom sings the entire song, going from baritone to tenor (maybe even soprano 😓) throughout the track, and not just in this song! 😂 Mary did some backing vocals, but all the main parts are Tom. 🤟

📣Here we are again with an unexpected upload, born from some random experiments that turned out way too good to be thrown in the trash… the Mac trash, obviously 😅
Headlines is inspired by a chiptune melody that likely dates back to the early 90s, at least as far as our keyboard player remembers, though even that isn’t completely certain. The track comes from the demoscene era, but the original title and author are unknown to us and may have been lost over time, so proper credit isn’t possible.
No samples were used. The melody was replayed, rearranged and completely reworked into a new song with a modern production and original vocals.
Too good to be left in a drawer, so here it is.
And stay tuned… in a few days we’ll be back with our new (and last) Christmas song, along with a very fun video where we’ll turn into Santa’s elves! 🎄🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️
This song is available exclusively on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

Do you already know this song?
Yeah, you know it
(Oh yeah)
Are you ready to sing along
to this song?

Let's go!

Everywhere I go
I'm hearing this tune
'Cause all the songs sound the same 
nothing feels new

But this one’s got something fresh
We made it loud, we made it real
Way better than
all that noise around

Someone’s even cloning us
So we can blast this track
all over the world
and up in space 
yeah, space!

The headlines now all say:
"Time stands still!"
There’s only one song left
spinning around
Someone's even trying to kill
all our clones
To shut this anthem down
all over the globe

And we’re trying to stay sane
But this is insane
Can’t even leave the house
the doors are locked
Someone said “That’s enough”
Now silence reigns
There’s no more sound 
real music is gone

Youtubers and AIers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

We’re fighting hard to keep alive
the soul of real sound
We’ll make your dreams
the next headlines

Youtubers and trappers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

Bye bye!
