Five Songs That Define Your Life: Little King

This is an ongoing series here. We are interested in finding out from artists about the five songs that define their life. It's a different type of list than just of favorite songs. We're looking for songs that are deeply personal to the person, songs that motivate them or describe their life in some way. They may wind up being the person's favorite songs, but the interesting part is trying to narrow a list down to just five. It's harder to do than it sounds and it provides a good look into each person. Little King gives his list here.

Spotlight on Flush

Flush is a four-piece rock band from Helsinki, Finland that plays a dark blend of alternative, punk, and hard rock, with elements of pop and metal thrown into the mix. The band thinks their music will sound familiar to most listeners, but still not directly like any other band out there. The Penguin Rocks spoke with Lasse for this interview with Flush.
