Sydney band Body Type draw us in with their pop hooks, before chewing us up and spitting us out with their visceral take downs.

They’ve got a knack for that sweet and sour, writing songs that are trojan horses and pack a punch. With two albums under their belt, they’re proving themselves as one of Australia’s best new bands, and I love their work. So I asked them to Take 5.

From Fiona Apple to Princess Nokia, this is an eclectic mix of subversive sounds.

• Fiona Apple - I Want You To Love Me
• Lucinda Williams - Can't Let Go
• Princess Nokia - Tomboy
• Big Star - Thirteen
• Gina Birch - I Play My Bass Loud
