Song: Big Life (26 Letters)
Notes: USS comes in strong with Big Life (26 Letters), and we love it. There’s a little bit of an Imagine Dragons vibe here, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s catchy, we can sing along, we want more, and this one is going to be a lot of fun live!

Genre: Country
Related: Petric, Andrew Hyatt, Shawn Austin
Song: You Don’t Get To Love Me
Notes: The highly anticipated debut single from new country trio East Adelaide is here, and You Don’t Get To Love Me is a solid introduction! We saw the boys play the track live at the CCMA Fan Village in Hamilton in September and have been waiting for the release so you all could hear it too. The time is now!

Artist: Delta Rae
Hometown: Durham, NC
Genre: Country
Related: Grace Potter, The Wailin’ Jennys, Elle King
Song: Hands Dirty
Notes: Hands Dirty drips with righteous outrage from women all over the world, but especially at home for Delta Rae. The band’s signature sweet harmonies are traded in for an in-your-face statement by Brittany and Elizabeth, and we’re for it. If the fight for women’s rights is looking for an anthem, we nominate Hands Dirty!

Genre: Country, Southern Rock
Related: River Town Saints, Cold Creek County, James Barker Band

Hometown: Vancouver, BC
Genre: Indie Rock, Pop, Alt Pop
Related: Hotel Mira, Attica Roots, Dear Rouge
Song: Famous Enough
Notes: There’s a throwback pop vibe to Famous Enough that we can’t get enough of. Throw in a little Bruno Mars feel off the top and we’re hooked on the lead track from the band’s brand new album, Walking Through A Fantasy. Turn it up and dance!

Artist: The Struts
Hometown: Derby, UK
Genre: Rock
Related: The Glorious Sons, Goodbye June, Monster Truck
Song: In Love With A Camera
Notes: If you’re looking for a good-time rock and roll song that you can turn up and enjoy from start to finish, In Love With A Camera is for you. From the new album YOUNG&DANGEROUS this is one we’re all in on.

Artist: 5 Seconds Of Summer
Hometown: Sydney, AUS
Genre: Pop
Related: One Direction, All Time Low, New Hope Club
Song: Killer Queen
Notes: A lot could have gone wrong with a cover of one of the most fun pop songs ever, but it didn’t. 5SOS kept true enough to Queen’s original Killer Queen that we still love the hell out of the song and are singing along at the top of our fun-loving lungs. Atta be boys!
