“Too True To Be Good” – Dum Dum Girls

DDG changed their sound a little for this year’s Too True release. They left behind the fuzzy, garage-rock sound of their first three albums for a darker, post-punk sound that is firmly rooted in the early–1980s. While making the musical change, Dee Dee did not lose her ability to write a terrific hook.

It’s hard to outrun a devil from behind

“We Only Come Out At Night” – Sugar Stems

I reserve one spot each year for a pure pop gem. This song lives up to the band’s name, sweet as sugar.

Go ahead and run your mouth if you think it’ll make people think you’re smarter
You always thought you knew it all anyway
