Punk Rocker is so good, I haven't heard it in a while so thanks for that nostalgia.

I hadn't heard Iyah May's song before, it's such an interesting song. It has a really strong rebellious/subversive vibe, but considering Trump won the popular vote in the US, the lyrics might technically appeal to the mainstream now. I was really hoping for an anti-RFK Jnr, anti-Trump or anti-ICE line in the lyrics to truly be rebellious but I think that would have alienated all the listeners, so in a song about everyone having to pick sides, she still did have to firmly pick a side (which I totally understand, it's impossible to make a living with support)... but also, to me, deflates the whole premise a bit. Super catchy though.

Yeah it's catchy, for sure. It predates Trump's win, so ICE and RFK Jr weren't on the radar at the time, more a Covid era commentary.

Ahhhhhhhh, sorry! I just assumed it was recent-recent.
