There's something magnificently preposterous about a band called Aggressive Soccer Moms still kicking against the pricks seven years after their debut single "The Outsider of the Year" first rattled the cage.

In the perpetual struggle between artistic integrity and commercial concession, Lisa-Rut Sandbladh's comeback single "Cancel Me" arrives like a bolt from the Nordic blue – an electropop manifesto that proudly plants its flag in the territory of the uncompromising.
