Alice Bag
"No Means No"
Punk icon Alice Bag recently announced her retirement from performing live, at least on the reg with the Alice Bag Band. We're just glad that we got to see her, and we do have a feeling that she'll still pop up here and there. "No Means No" is the sort of anthem that the world needs. Listen up, men!

"Disparate Youth"
Electro-indie queen Santigold synthesizes the melancholic feeling of developing self-confidence in this famous track off her second album. Pulling in elements of R&B, new wave, and pop, the song feels like embarking on a new chapter of life whilst still holding onto reservations about change and the future. The synths in the song are a key feature of its rhythm and texture, making it both a club classic and fit for a good cry.

"Tainted State of Mind"
The alt-pop artist's new song laments a complex family situation, alternating between tender lyrics and melody to angry outbursts. She's one to watch.

"Hello Hooray"
The perfect rock n roll hype song to start any good day.
