Kiss With a Fist - Florence and the Machines

"You hit me once
I hit you back 
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed"

This catchy, energetic song is empowering.  There is something about walking home from the gym and hearing this song that leaves me feeling strong, unbreakable, and, quite frankly, bad ass.

This UK band is self-proclaimed "grindcore/acousmatic/tape music/melodramatic/popular song".  What's impressive to me is one song can be melodramatic pop music while the next is anything but pop.  It's intriguing to see how vitally different each song is.

If you haven't heard of Florence and the Machines, heads up, you should check them out.
