We will hear releases from Canada, Scotland, the United States, Ukraine, Germany, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.Enjoy the show!To kick off the show, the August 20th release by Los Angeles artist Baywud. This artist never ceases to amaze me. Baywud’s vocals are both outstanding and unique. Love his sound.“Silver & Gold” is Baywud’s third single this year. With a modern rock vibe, the track takes you back to the timeless pop hits of the 70s. An uplifting, feel good summer release.“Silver & Gold” 1:39:36The artist was inspired by witness to a girl being bullied on social media. The song is about embracing your individuality, accepting our unique differences and to ignore the haters. Los Angeles producer Rune Westberg produced and mixed the single.The artist will debut an acoustic version Live at Writer’s blog film night, Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on August 31st.Second spin, August 13th drop “Free-Swimming” by Scotland artist Berta Kennedy. The lyrics narrate a strong-minded, powerful individual boasting self-confidence and dominance over someone/thing. I will share the unique nature of the track after we hear it. “Free Swimming” by Berta Kennedy.“Free Swimming” 7:12:48Fun fact - the song admires a ‘unique predator’, the jellyfish.  This aquatic instrumental includes choppy electric guitar riffs and a 1950s doo-wop-meets-rock vocal. Free-Swimming is catchy and submerges its listeners into a different place.And now, an incredible track from Toronto, Canada. ANIQA DEAR is an experimental pop project. “Right/Wrong” is a dynamic and unique pop track. It explores disconnection and distance. Often we find ourselves in that ill-defined and in-between space.“Right/wrong” (Original Single) 10:45:60The track will be part of the project’s expected 3rd album, UK, Bristol band Polemics is next with their original single “Captain”. They take listeners on a stroll through a vision of a post-apocalyptic reality. The weight of human industry buries the historical footprint of the natural world.“Captain” (Original Single) 14:40:80From the song opening, you feel Zeppelin vibes. Guitar riffs and drums take us on an exploration of new world beliefs and feelings.Now, a change of pace. We are going to slow it down. “Fallen” by UK, Stroud artist Steven Reid Williams. The track released July 30. “Fallen” is the first drop (and hint) of what we can expect from Steven’s upcoming blues-inspired project, Heart and Stones.“Fallen” 19:21:12Next, an electronic rock, experimental track by Ukraine-based Dantus called “7NOVA”. (pronounced “Lova”)The challenges of love inspired the song. The song depicts a relationship between two lovers who have a tough time, as the love is not always mutual nor there.Sit back and enjoy “7NOVA”.“7NOVA” 23:51:84Next up a Brighton, U.K. band The Dryas.We continue with the relationship theme. The Dryas’ “Run” is an energetic track that reminds us of the uncomfortable feeling of chasing a relationship that is dead and gone. The song dropped on August 4th.“Run” 27:01:92A great music video came with the release. Check it out on YouTube.Have you ever pleaded to a friend (or even to yourself) “I’m here with you,
