Emerging Indie-Pop singer-songwriter, Wren Wilder’s latest single is a powerful adult contemporary/indie pop gem of self acceptance, with an exquisite vocal performance!
About Wren Wilder
Musical storyteller, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Wren Wilder creates extraordinary moments through warm, empathetic pop music overflowing with emotional complexity. Each original song bursts with inviting instrumental layers that glide through folk, pop, and rock. She uniquely combines various timbres alongside the gravitational pull of her vibrant vocals: airy mellotrons, Wurlitzer, upright and Rhodes pianos, electric guitar, synths, drums, percussion, and electric bass. Through the art of mixing, Wren transforms these commonly used instruments, manipulating them in new and unexpected ways. She’s on a mission to write and perform authentic music that chronicles her evolution as a human and an artist, and to bring peace and comfort to the delicate teenager that lives inside everyone. Wren Wilder transports listeners on a powerful journey through darkness and light with vulnerable lyrics about transforming heartbreak, longing, fear, and uncertainty into confidence, joy, celebration, and unconditional love.

Soft Punch – ‘Astering’
The power of art & willpower, but for the health problems.
Soft Punch’s Ryan quote: “Astering was an accident. When chronic health problems made playing instruments difficult, I spent a lot of time playing with samples on my laptop. In this case, I was toying with different rhythmic patterns in Ableton, just to see how they would line up. It was only supposed to be a little instrumental experiment, but to my surprise, a melody blossomed on top of it all. I happened to be reading about a Franciscan Friar who excitedly discovered new star formations with just a pair of binoculars, and that sense of wonder led to lyrics about relationships that somehow cross great chasms of time and space.”
About Soft Punch
After loads of touring in noisy DC rock bands like Tereu Tereu, and independently operating Bad Friend Records, and writing for publications like Rolling Stone and The Washington Post, Ryan Little got sick. Over the course of several years, his health mysteriously declined and he gradually disappeared from public view.
His health dropped off a cliff in late 2017, and he’s been mostly bedridden with a poorly understood disease called ME/CFS ever since. With the help of his boyfriend, he’s been slowly recording music as Soft Punch using an old tape machine set up just outside of his room. It’s an arduous, piecemeal process–vocals one day, guitars two weeks later–but the result is personal, intimate, gorgeous, and a bit queer.

Scarlet Drive – ‘Back Down’
A tiptop alternative rock banger by Aussie four-piece band, about bullying, toxic masculinity, and rising up against the crappy year of COVID-19!
About Scarlet Drive
After three years across the West Australian gig circuit, a debut EP, national Australian tour and Spotify-curated single ‘I Just Think That You’re Cute’, Scarlet Drive are announcing the release of their last single before a temporary hiatus, ‘Ghosted’.
Following the success of their unapologetic and romantically candid new brand of music, ‘Ghosted’ takes a fun look at the people we unwittingly leave behind in our abandoned inboxes and marks a return to the band’s genre-defying ska roots.
Consisting of Michael ‘Milli’ Millimaci on Vocals and Michael ‘Barry’ Madafferi on Lead Guitar, this release marks the departure of long-time bassist Maddey Eccleston as she pursues new musical projects, bringing with it two new members in bassist Sebastian Fazzari and Conor Warrilow rounding out their electric new sound on drums.
The band kicked off the year with a WAM Award nomination for Most Popular New Act, taking out #7 and #13 of the 89.7 FM WA Top 20 with singles ‘Ceto’ and ‘Sad Robot’, but as lead singer Michael Millimaci moves to New South Wales will be on hiatus for some time to accommodate the new changes.
