We enjoyed her guest programming on US radio station BTR so much, we asked her to pick the top 5 must have songs for your next summer mix tape. With her excellent slection you're guaranteed a kick start to making the perfect mix tape for your new summer crush. Go on, we dare you.

First thing's first, I have a confession to make: I don't know how to drive a car. It's true, put me behind the wheel and I'll break down into a panic attack and yell at you until you take over. So, if we go on a road trip together, please take care of the driving, I'll take care of the tunes. Here are my PopJew 5 essentials tunez for a rocking drive:

Last Caress by Misfits

Important for any road trip are classic songs that everyone wants to sing along to. No song gets me belting and fist pumping like Last Caress, maybe the best Misfits song of all time, a total crowd pleaser for even your squarish friends. Who doesn't want to sing about killing babies?

Punk Trips by Eat Skull

This is probably the catchiest Eat Skull song, puts you in the right mindset for letting shit just HAPPEN. Who the fuck cares what we do? We're punnnnx bro. Let's parrrrrty.

ADP Blues by Thomas Function

No list of essentials would be complete, in the PopJew world without a Thomas Function song, and for speeding down the highway, nothing is better than the first track off of their new In The Valley Of Sickness EP. Feel punk as shit and feel like you're fleeing the po-po while chanting "The only goooood cop is a deaaaaaaad cop". Instant fun.

Me And The Boys by NRBQ

An oldie but a goody, this song is the ultimate summer vaycay song, all about chill vibes and good times with your bros. Ultimate hanging out party anthem. Makes me wanna just put on some shades and cruise with my best budz.

The Concept by Teenage Fanclub

This year is all about the 90s for me, and the best part of the 90s (besides Doc Martens) was Teenage Fanclub. This song has one of the most shoutable choruses of all time and makes you melt with siiiccck jamz.
