Just like Heaven – The Cure
I wanna Be Sedated – The Ramones
Stop Me if you think you’ve heard this one before – The Smiths
Get Free – The Vines
Killing Loneliness – H.I.M
Heart of Glass – Blondie

Get into the Top 4 and stay there
Come back at 2 O’Clock to see if your band is through to the next round
