Manic MondayThe Bangles
This is a song written by the legendary artist Prince, who passed away on April 21, 2016, for The Bangles.
It’s a very Prince-like track, but vocalist Susanna Hoffs delivers it confidently.
As a side note, there are rumors that around the time he wrote this song, Prince had quite a crush on Hoffs.
In the end, though, it seems his feelings were unrequited.
It’s About TimeLillix
A girls’ rock band from British Columbia, Canada.
Their straightforward rock sound—directly in the vein of early-2000s Avril Lavigne—gives them an accessible charm that’s won them popularity.

Strawberry GashesJack Off Jill
A song about a girl struggling with depression and drug abuse.

NIGHTMAREBad Cop/Bad Cop
