      First time hearing K.Flay and I dig the hell out of it, proper punk ethos in those lyrics and I've been in a punk mood lately. Now I want to see a collab between K.Flay and REN. ;)

        Thanks for that REN link. Very much digging it.

        Also, if you liked this, definitely look into more K.Flay. Her stuff can be kinda hit or miss, but when it's right, it's right. My favorite song of hers is "Champagne". It's only two minutes long, but it packs several damn punches.

          I'm actually huge fan of Ren too! If you haven't heard them yet, do yourself a favor and check out Jenny's Tale, and its follow-up Screech's Tale. They're both incredible.

          He's also the front man for The Big Push as well, who are well worth checking if you like coversongs.

        I have a list of albums I can always listen to, when I don't know what I want to listen to. And she's like one of 2 or 3 artists of which I've added all albums.

      Ditto. And yeah, this track goes hard, and is a banger. Speaking of... I had a fun moment recently when watching Amazon's Invincible. I actually shouted out "K.FLAY!" to myself, as soon as that...

        Awesome! I've been listening to her back since she was running with MC Lars. It's been great to see her take off since then, especially because nerdcore is a genre that's ridiculously easy to shoehorn yourself into.

        I knew she'd made it big when one of my musically-inclined friends (who wouldn't be found touching nerdcore with a 10-foot/3.048 meter pole) had "Blood in the Cut" on one of his playlists. And I'm glad to hear she's getting even bigger!

    Oh, shit. I just found out it's actually Tom Morello on guitar in this track, which also explains the "I want to rage against the fucking machine" line. No wonder it shreds so hard!...

    K.Flay has shared “TGIF,” a tune that features none other than Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello on guitar and lyrically critiques society’s “working for the weekend” mentality.

    The song is off her EP Inside Voices, which is out June 11 on BMG. The EP also includes a song titled “Dating My Dad” that features Blink-182 drummer and producer Travis Barker.
