RISE - Lost For Words
Lost For Words hits quick. You hear the first few seconds and your brain goes, okay this is fire.

The hook lands fast and stays in your head. You’ll catch yourself nodding without thinking about it. The solo also snaps. It adds just enough flair without dragging the track out. RISE sounds locked in as a group. You can tell they know their lane and they’re pushing it with confidence. It’s the kind of track you play when you want your energy up.
If this sound is on your playlist, you’ll vibe with this right away. Hit play and see if it hits you the same way.
Wildstreet - When It’s Gone
Wildstreet pulls up with a new one called When It’s Gone, and yeah, it hits different. Before anything else, just know these guys aren’t some random band you found by accident. They’ve been running the hard rock lane for almost twenty years, and they’re still moving like they’re just getting warmed up.
When It’s Gone brings that rock ballad feel people secretly love. You get big emotion without losing the punch, guitars that talk back, and drums and vocals that push the song forward. Ballad rock works because it gives you space to feel something without slowing the energy down, and that’s exactly what’s happening here.
The mix sounds crisp. The whole thing feels polished without losing character. The melody hits familiar, yet you know you haven’t heard it before. It’s like bumping into someone who feels familiar right away. Weirdly comforting. That’s the vibe this track gives from start to finish.
Play it and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.
CF98 - Stupid Boy
Stupid Boy by CF98 feels like a time warp straight back to your emo era, but without the questionable fashion choices. CF98 already nails that melodic pop-punk rush, and this track just pushes everything harder. The vocals cut clean through the chaos, guitars running full speed, and you get drums that sound like they’re trying to break out of the room.
They said this is the fastest and most angry track on their new record Stupid Punk, and yeah, you can hear the pride in every second. The rage feels real but fun. The chorus sticks quick. Your emo self will probably thank you for pressing play, and honestly, your present self will enjoy the hit of adrenaline too.
If this is them going unhinged, I’m all for it. We could all use more songs that make us want to jump around like rent isn’t due tomorrow. Check them out!
Brody - Shattered Alibis
Shattered Alibis by Brody comes in swinging like it has something to prove, and honestly, it delivers. It sets the tone for the debut album All My Feelings Hurt, a fast-paced 10-track ride about growing up, messing up, and thinking about life way too early in the morning.
The song structure stands out right away.
It doesn’t follow the usual pop-punk formula, and that’s what makes it hit harder. The chorus slides into the second verse so clean you barely catch the shift. Just straight energy from start to finish.
The vocals carry the track with zero hesitation. Everything feels tight, sharp, and confidently messy in the best garage-rock way.
If you’re into songs that punch fast and think later, give Brody a shot.
And if this is just the intro, good luck keeping your cool when the rest of the album drops.
