Finally Florence!

Just hope we got some more in the future... or in Blitz!

[Whizzer191]

I've heard of the last two artists once or twice, but never heard any of their songs, so I will have to listen to it first.

[azzaman333]

Power & The Passion.WANT.

dat drum solo, wowee.

[DemonUnicorns]

I'm cautiously optimistic because I have a feeling that I might know one of these.

Edit: Nope. Infact I found all 3 songs strange.

When I saw Midnight Oil in the title I got excited for Beds are Burning, then was let down.

Well, maybe in Blitz??

[ClaptonsWig]

Yuck

After 4 straight weeks of buying every song available, my wallet gets a break. Thanks for giving me a week off, Harmonix.
