Oh Friday
4 Example
Verified Artist
4 Example
4 Example is a fresh, energetic boy band from California, made up of four young Americans who all share a deep love for the sounds of the 90s. The group’s origin story is as unexpected as it is fun. It all began at a retro-themed 90s party in Los Angeles, where they bonded over their shared admiration for the era’s iconic music. They hit it off immediately, especially when they discovered that all of them were huge Justin Timberlake fans. What started as a karaoke session of *NSYNC classics that night quickly turned into something bigger—a full-fledged boy band, united by their passion for 90s pop.
The group consists of Tyler “T.J.” James, the smooth-talking frontman with a voice that channels Timberlake’s falsettos, Zach "Z" Cooper, the charismatic dancer who brings high-energy choreography to their performances, Jordan West, the laid-back but soulful singer whose harmonies tie everything together, and Ethan Lee, the quiet but musically gifted producer who crafts their catchy beats.
Each member brings their own flair to the group, but together, they create a nostalgic yet modern sound that brings the best of the 90s into the present day.
4 Example quickly gained attention performing at local clubs, 90s tribute nights, and even on TikTok, where their covers of *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys hits blew up. But they didn’t stop there—soon they were writing original music, blending classic boy band vibes with fresh pop beats.
With their talent, charm, and love for the golden era of boy bands, 4 Example is proving that the magic of the 90s still lives on today.
Oh Friday
4 Example
Oh Monday you’re so slow
Dragging me where I don’t wanna go
Tuesday's just the same old grind
Counting hours losing my mind
Wednesday you're halfway there
But still I really don't care
Thursday you think you're the star?
Nope I’m saving all my fun for Friday’s bar!
Friday’s calling hear that ring?
Work can wait I’m ready to sing!
Wave goodbye to the 9-to-5
The weekend’s here now I come alive!
Boss says “You’ve got plans tonight?”
No just me my couch and pizza’s delight
Oh the weekend’s where I shine
Gonna leave this desk far behind
Emails meetings all week long
But come Friday I’m where I belong
In the land of zero alarms
Free from spreadsheets no more harm!
Friday’s calling hear that ring? (hear it ring!)
Work can wait I’m ready to sing! (oh I’m ready!)
Wave goodbye to the 9-to-5 (wave it off!)
The weekend’s here now I come alive! (I’m alive!)
I’ll sleep till noon and dance till three
The weekday blues won’t bother me
Wake me up when Monday’s near
But till then I’ll just disappear!
Friday’s calling hear that ring? (it’s calling me!)
Work can wait I’m ready to sing! (sing it loud!)
Wave goodbye to the 9-to-5 (goodbye goodbye!)
The weekend’s here now I come alive! (finally alive!)
Oh Friday you’re my saving grace
Weekends are my happy place!
Goodbye work – see you never!
I’ll be free forever and ever!

Beneath My Skin
Alex Mercer
Verified Artist
Alex Mercer
Alex Mercer isn't your run-of-the-mill, packaged, and primped pop star. He's that rare breed of true artist who moonlights as a philosopher in his spare time, equally quick to pick up an instrument as he is to spit-balling think pieces on existential woes. Born and bred in Ireland, Mercer’s music roots twist and twine through the romantic, rain-kissed streets of Dublin, soaking up influences from local legends like The Cranberries and U2. Imagine Bono and Dolores O'Riordan had a philosophical, multi-instrumentalist baby - that's our boy Alex for you.
Having been raised in a house where melodies danced intoxicated on Guinness, Mercer knows his way around an instrument or five. The man can coax sounds out of them that'll tear at your heartstrings and heal them in the same beat. His musical passion is only rivaled by his love for philosophy. One of his most famous songs "Beneath My Skin" is a perfect testament to this. It burrows deep into your psyche, tickles your existential dread, and leaves you in an introspective haze long after the last note fades. Mercer's music isn't just about foot-tapping tunes; it endeavors to pull out the guts of human experience, wrap it in a beautifully complex symphony and serve it back to you. Yummy, isn't it? We think so too.
Beneath My Skin
Alex Mercer
Glass towers hum in fading blue
Faint reflections split in two
Footsteps curve through liquid air
Tracing paths to nowhere
Weightless currents pull me near
Time dissolves yet stays so clear
Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts
Torn-out pages words erased
Stories shift but won’t replace
Drifting through a silent storm
Shaping what was never formed
Weightless currents pull me near
Time dissolves yet stays so clear
Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts
No rewind no fading lines
Only fire left to find
Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

Verified Artist
Aurora Finch
Aurora Finch is an independent singer-songwriter from Edinburgh, Scotland. She is contracted under Filodyo and whose work voraciously resonates with the vast local music scene.
Born and raised in the shadow of the UK's most mystical capital, Finch has evolved from singing in the rain-soaked alleyways of Edinburgh, a city globally recognized for its love for stirrings of creativity, to performing at local venues. Known for her deep-textured voice and unwavering dedication, she paints an ethereal sonic portrait that revolves around themes of love, life, and memories. Aurora plays guitar like she's ringing a bell and is able to stir up some pretty gnarly sound liveliness when she combines it with her husky vocals. There is, however, nothing 'cold' about this Finch, except perhaps her icy-blue guitar which has become her trademark.
One of her most notable tracks, "Hold Your Cross", showcases Aurora's ability to weave melodies that perfectly blend depth and lightheartedness. With lyrics that touch on the intricacies of human nature and tell a captivating story, the song is just one of many illustrations of her uncanny ability to resonate deeply with listeners. The song showcases Finch's gift - a knack for writing melodies as magnets for emotions, attracting both the reminiscent and visionary listeners from all around her hometown.
Whether it's on stage or off, Aurora Finch emanates warmth and wit in equal measure. She's the kind of artist you expect to find writing lyrics on a napkin in a quirky café or strumming her guitar from the comfort of a worn-out armchair. With a brilliant talent whose roots are firmly grounded, Aurora Finch is definitely a name to look out for in the increasingly eclectic world of independent music.

But North Keeps
The Absents
Verified Artist
The Absents
The Absents are a four-piece synth-pop and modern disco-pop band hailing from Brighton, on the south coast of the United Kingdom. The lineup consists of Elliot Kane (vocals), Ryan Whitford (keyboards & production), Callum Price (bass guitar & synth bass), and Jamie Harlow (guitar & backing vocals). The four met in 2018 at a local music festival, where a late-night jam session revealed a shared passion for blending the melodic elegance of 80s synth-pop with the energy and polish of modern pop production.
Deeply influenced by the infectious hooks and emotive energy of Erasure, The Absents quickly began writing together, crafting songs that pair bright synth textures with tight bass grooves and subtle funk undertones. Their early rehearsals took place in a modest studio near Brighton’s seafront, a space that soon became their creative sanctuary and the birthplace of their signature sound.
In 2019, the band released their debut single, which found its way onto local radio playlists and began circulating through London’s club scene. Known for their vivid light shows, charismatic stage presence, and danceable, high-energy sets, The Absents built a reputation as one of the most exciting new acts in the UK’s pop landscape.
Today, The Absents continue to bridge nostalgia and modernity, reaching audiences far beyond the British Isles. Elliot’s commanding yet soulful vocals, Ryan’s shimmering synth arrangements, Callum’s deep, driving grooves, and Jamie’s melodic guitar lines come together to create a live experience that is as unforgettable as it is electrifying.
But North Keeps
The Absents
Rust runs along the rails to nowhere
Morning stations breathe a scent of iron
Words melt in my hands like shards of ice
Even when I speak it’s someone else’s song
Foreign clocks drag their feet
The wind calls me by names I’ve never worn
This city feels like a mirror I’ve never owned
My steps fall on stones that don’t remember me
I drew a map with the length of my shadow
But north keeps pointing somewhere else
Cracked windows hold the faces of other lives
Salted bread is torn with prayers I can’t translate
I keep the roofs of distant houses in my eyes
But the mailbox stays empty — no one arrives
Foreign clocks drag their feet
The wind calls me by names I’ve never worn
This city feels like a mirror I’ve never owned
My steps fall on stones that don’t remember me
I drew a map with the length of my shadow
But north keeps pointing somewhere else
A ticket in my pocket
Its destination still a stranger
Maybe it’s one-way out
Or just another foreign land
Rust runs along the rails to nowhere
And I keep walking without a border to cross

Meet Greta Falk - a woman who writes letters to the world in the form of melody, one coffee cup at a time. Best known for her achingly beautiful duet, "Faded Picture of Us (Nova Grip)", Greta's music dares you not to feel.
Once a humble barista, Greta swapped her Americano for Allegros, her caramel macchiato for concertos. Working the espresso machine in a little café back in her hometown, she spent her spare time spinning a web of storytelling, uncovering the lyrical undercurrents in the daily grind of coffee beans. Vienna was just a faded picture on a postcard then, an elusive dream that seemed light years away.
Greta's big break came after an impromptu performance in the café, grabbing the heartstrings of a customer who happened to be a music producer on a caffeine kick. Next thing she knew, she was packing her passport alongside her piano sheet music. Soon after settling in Vienna, Greta would tie the knot with the city and her newfound love. So if you thought romance was only found in a Vienna coffee house with a slice of Sachertorte, allow “Faded Picture of Us (Nova Grip)” to change your mind.
In a world where pop music often relies on sugar-coated hooks, Greta Falk’s songwriting serves up a double espresso – unflinching, raw, and undeniably addictive. So here's to Greta, crafting symphonies one coffee bean — I mean note, at a time. This woman not only proves that it's never too latte to follow your dreams but also that behind every successful artist, there’s substantial amount of caffeine. Greta definitely knows her art just as well as her coffee art!

Brighter Than Before
Tyrell King
I used to wake up feeling slow
Waiting for a sign to show
Tried to hide the things I feared
Thought my voice would disappear
But then the day I faced the truth
Found a strength I never knew
Every step began to shine
Felt the world fall into line
I learned that every stumble
Can push you to grow
Now I’m brighter than before
Stepping out through every open door
I was quiet now I’m sure
That the future has a place for more
I’m lifting off the floor
Feeling things I never felt before
Yeah I’m brighter than before
Brighter than before
I used to doubt the things I dreamed
Didn’t think they’d come for me
But I found rhythm in my stride
Little wins that changed my mind
Now every sunrise hits just right
Makes the shadows lose their height
If today becomes a spark
I’ll be glowing after dark
I learned that every stumble
Can push you to grow
Now I’m brighter than before
Stepping out through every open door
I was quiet now I’m sure
That the future has a place for more
I’m lifting off the floor
Feeling things I never felt before
Yeah I’m brighter than before
Brighter than before
I lost my fear of starting slow
Now I rise in my own flow
Now I’m brighter than before
Stepping out through every open door
I was quiet now I’m sure
That the future has a place for more
I’m lifting off the floor
Feeling things I never felt before
Yeah I’m brighter than before
Brighter than before

Rompe Mi Ritmo
Cruz Varello
Mami tú me miras y me tumbas la razón
Súbete a mi ritmo dale fuego al corazón
Tú caminas lento pero todo se acelera
Cada paso tuyo cambia toda mi carretera
Quiero lo que tienes no lo voy a negar
Si te pegas suave yo me voy a desarmar
Ven que la noche está pa’ ti y pa’ mí
Dime dónde quieres que te siga sí
Lo que tú provocas no lo vi venir
Cuando tú te mueves yo dejo de fingir
Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Sigue bajando súbelo pa’ mí
Tú eres candela desde que te vi
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat
Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Siente este fuego corriendo en mí
Tú eres la clave que me hace subir
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat
Llévame contigo donde quieras terminar
Dame tu cintura que me empieza a dominar
Sé que tú lo sabes esto va a explotar
Mueve tu figura y déjate llevar
Ven que la noche está pa’ ti y pa’ mí
Dime dónde quieres que te siga sí
Lo que tú provocas no lo vi venir
Cuando tú te mueves yo dejo de fingir
Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Sigue bajando súbelo pa’ mí
Tú eres candela desde que te vi
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat
Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Siente este fuego corriendo en mí
Tú eres la clave que me hace subir
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat
Quédate conmigo hasta el amanecer
Lo que tú me das no se puede esconder

Yeah
No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
No
Me llamas tarde
I let it ring
Ya no me compras
With anything
Tenías mi tiempo
Tenías mi voz
Now you get silence
Cuando digo adiós
No soy la misma
You knew before
Cerré tu puerta
Without a war
Mira mi cara
Mira bien
Perdiste todo
Por no querer
I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez
No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it
No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Tu foto sigue
But not with me
Me veo más fuerte
Since I got free
No busco drama
No busco show
Si preguntan por mí
Tell them I glow
Tengo mis planes
Tengo mi paz
Tú fuiste casi
But never enough
I don’t do revenge
I don’t do regret
Solo camino
Y tú no estás
I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez
No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it
No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
No quiero flores
No quiero explanation
You had my heart
You missed the location
No necesito
Tu versión
I got my body
Back on control
Si tú me ves
Don’t come too close
I’m not your girl
Ya se acabó
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it
No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

No Turning Back

Wake up — the clock won’t wait
Tie your shoes shift the weight
Mirror’s not your enemy
It’s the version you refuse to be
You’ve got fire in your legs
Steel in your breath
Wipe the doubt off your face
This is your test
No turning back
You’ve made it this far
Every step’s a strike
Every scar’s a star
No turning back
No room for “might”
You don’t need luck
You are the fight
Every wall is just a bluff
It shakes when you get tough
Every “no” you ever heard
Is a fuel you never burned
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
No turning back
You write the map
Built from sweat
No room for “slack”
No turning back
You’ve come too far
You don’t need signs
You are the spark

Secondhand Alibi
Romeo Vane
Verified Artist
Romeo Vane
"Romeo Vane: at the ripe age of 25, this American pop-rock comet is shooting across the Alternative universe, spreading hope with doses of edgy authenticity. Born and bred in the sonic heartland of the Windy City, he’s a Chicagoan with an unapologetic knack for compelling narratives and an obsession for truth.
Whether it's life's sharp corners or the soft bruises of love, Romeo Vane's got a knack for rolling them into tunes that blend breezy alt-rock melodies with the raw, gritty flavor of pop. His stage name isn't for show; Romeo comes with a romantic bravado that'd make Shakespeare blush, and the barbed tongue of a true Windy City native. Just tune into "Kiss Me When I'm Lying" - it's less of a song, more a rollercoaster ride through hope, heartbreak, and hilariously serious self-deprecation.
Despite his youth, he's seen more than enough of life's ups and downs, packaging the human experience into easily digestible nuggets of melodic wisdom. Romeo Vane’s music is the kind that makes you call your ex at 2 a.m., cry a little, laugh a lot, and still believe in the dream of a better dawn. Now, how's that for a self-made, alternative songwriter from the city that never sleeps?"
Secondhand Alibi
Romeo Vane
I found it in a Sunday ad
Between a sofa and a wedding band
“Barely used no questions asked”
The seller wore a borrowed name
He said it worked on jealous hearts
On hotel clerks and parking guards
I paid in cash he wished me luck
Then vanished before the light changed
I practiced every detail
The hour the street the rain
But truth has lousy manners
It keeps interrupting names
I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine
I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine
I said the train was running late
You knew that line from ’98
I blamed a man I’d never met
You said “At least invent him well”
I moved the evening half an hour
Changed the bar replaced the car
By then the lie had better shoes
And more ambition than the truth
I gave it dates and weather
A witness and a scar
You watched me build the ceiling
Then asked where the foundations are
I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine
I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine
Mine on Monday
Mine by five
Mine when I need
Someone else to survive
The seller called at 2:13
Said “That excuse belongs to me”
I told him he could have it back
He laughed and said “You made it yours”
You poured your drink into the sink
Not angry almost entertained
You said “The worst part isn’t this
It’s how rehearsed you look in pain”
So here’s the part I didn’t buy
No clever date no useful guy
I stayed because I liked the risk
I left because you noticed it
No missing train no broken phone
No nameless friend to take the blame
I wanted two incompatible things
And called confusion by your name
I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me why
Now every version sounds like mine
I bought a secondhand alibi
But guilt was never in the price
Keep the story keep the night
Every version sounds like mine
The truth was sitting in the car
Patient as an unpaid fare
I opened up the passenger door
It said “You took your time”
