Pizza Crunch are an alternative-rock quartet hailing from Glasgow. Meet them with their infectious new single, "Motivational substances". It's a great rock song, with a very involving melody and a marking performance.
Commenting on the track, guitarist and vocalist Ewan Hearns said: "The lyrics kind of stemmed from looking at previous years of your life and realising how alien they seem. Looking at your past self can seem like looking at a different person all together, regardless of whether it's in a positive or negative way. When Nathan sent me the music I quite liked the idea of having the verses follow a third person perspective and then change to a first person during the rowdy chorus. I suppose I'm kind of romanticising the points in the past where the routine of overconsuming certain substances was just a bit of a laugh, whereas now that kind of hedonism has become a bit more serious. I always like when writers change to the first person during a song, it seems like their agreeing to be honest, for a brief period".

It's time to listen to another great rock song by Blind Channel. The Finnish band has just released "We are no saints". It's an intense song with a very strong melody and an explosive chorus.
"After our recent breakthrough, we faced a lot of demands from the music industry, the people around us and even from the government. All eyes on us, and not everybody's happy with us shaking cages – musically or otherwise. Some people want us to be something we're not in order to fit the concept of role models – national heroes. This song is our answer to those demands. We are a lot of things, but we are no saints", the band says.

"This is a song about realizing the fact that love is right there in front of you and doesn't have to be so damn complicated. I personally love how the tune mingles with the lyric. Especially the part where the morning tide rolls your body to the shore, and you figure out that you're already exactly where you should be. I've added so much love and tenderness to this little cocktail of a song that the glass almost runs over and it becomes a tide of its own", Lydmor says.
