Kayla Lanenberg from Champlin writes, "The Kills and Sloan are two artists I discovered listening to The Current and I was stoked when I heard Tilly on the radio. These songs always get me grooving and in a better mood!

1) The Kills, "Getting Down"
2) Tilly and the Wall, "Pot Kettle Black"
3) Sloan, "Witch's Wand"

Thanks Kayla!
