Hold it right there! This holiday season, we’re asking our community to support Underground Music Collective’s Underground Rising initiative! By making a tax-deductible donation to UMC via The Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville, you ensure that we can keep sharing songs and stories from independent creatives everywhere, for years to come. Click here to get started!

Anyway, onto this week’s Songs You Should Hear…

Artist: Bronnie
Song: Back and Forth
Genre: Pop punk
Why You Should Hear It: Our friend from Liverpool is back with another high-octane, emotional banger to close out a monster 2022. Turn this one all the way up!

Artist: Polyvoda
Song: Sirens
Genre: Hip hop/R&B/Soul
Why You Should Hear It: In this Ukranian duo’s own words: “The lyricism of ‘Sirens’ veers towards a stream of consciousness, reflecting on internal and external battles; meanwhile, a wistful melody sits comfortably underneath a gritty, intoxicating flow that immediately garners attention.”

Also, 100% of streaming proceeds will be donated to the cause of rebuilding Ukraine. Feel free to play this one on repeat!

Artist: Will Linley
Song: Last Call
Genre: Pop/Rock
Why You Should Hear It: Sent to us via our friends at °1824, this anthem from the Cape Town, South Africa native features a driving rock and roll energy combined with a bright pop sensibility, and brings us in to a love that hits hard and ends too soon.
