Anamanaguchi – Prom Night
Prom Night by Anamanaguchi on Grooveshark
Of all the tracks on this playlist, this is probably the one which has been played most this week, and makes me glad Spotify doesn’t count plays because I’m scared it’s reaching triple figures now. A chiptune-pop song so sweet it’ll give your ears diabetes, Anamanaguchi knock it out of the park again with this one, including one of their first, and hopefully not one of their last attempts at adding vocals into their unique melting pot of musical elements.
AFI – Love Like Winter
Love Like Winter by AFI on Grooveshark
In an unexpected move even from a band whose genre has lurched about as much as your average Glaswegian drunk on a Friday night, former goth-punk posterboys AFI turned in this chilling synthpop song for the second single off of Decemberunderground, following up the mega-hit and perennial Guitar Hero 3 favourite Miss Murder. Despite originally being written for their darkwave/synthpop side-project Blaqk Audio, it manages to blend in quite well with the rest of the album and broaden their sound significantly.
Living Colour – Cult of Personality

Look in my eeeeeeyes, what do you see? Probably tiredness and a look of confusion as to why someone is staring intently into my eyes, but those would make crap lyrics and that’s why I don’t write songs. This has one of the slickest basslines and best leading riffs of any song, period, and as their live performance of it at WrestleMania 29 showed, these guys have still got it even decades after this was first released.
The Misfits – Dig Up Her Bones

Yeah, yeah, we’re all supposed to pretend that The Misfits stopped existing when Danzig left, I know. But you’d be doing Michale Graves a disservice there, since he penned some really good tunes during his tenure. This has just enough punk riffing with The Misfits’ goofy horror-themed lyrics and a touch of thrash metal thrown in for a catchy, camp horror punk track from a singer who’s often unfairly overlooked (but at least we can all agree that Jerry Only is crap, right?)
Dropkick Murphys – The Boys Are Back

I’ve recently been rediscovering my love of this Boston-based celtic punk act who provide the perfect soundtrack to a hockey game, a pub crawl or a bar fight (or even all three on a really good night out). The combination of bagpipes, boisterous lead vocals and gang vocals during nearly all parts of the song make this an infectious tune which is truly an amazing thing to witness live (and let’s not forget that these guys make the bagpipes sound good, which is a rare thing for someone who hears the god-awful things screeching from about eight streets away at work on a daily basis to say).
Angelspit – Defibrillator

Who’d have ever thought that industrial metal and pop music would make a good combo, huh? The mad bastards at Angelspit, apparently. The Australian industrial group have been described as having a cyberpunk-esque sound, backed up by a weird fascination with medical imagery and anti-corporate messages. Defibrillator is one of their softer songs (when your other songs contain lines like “God made me a cannibal to fix problems like you” anything is a step down, really) but it’s a pretty catchy, distorted industrial-pop tune and I never thought I’d combine those words in any way.
Andrew WK – She Is Beautiful

Do yourself a favour, and go and like Andrew WK on Facebook. Congratulations, your feed will now be filled daily with life-affirming snippets and pearls of wisdom from the prophet of partying himself. Despite seeming very simple on the surface, She Is Beautiful boasts a surprisingly complex rhythm line, which becomes less surprising when you learn that Andrew WK was a classically-trained child piano prodigy (yeah, the guy who hit himself in the face with a brick for an album cover and is responsible for “PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD” was learning music at university at age four). Every instrument is also played by Andrew, showcasing hidden depths that extend far beyond simply telling people to have fun and party the fuck out.
