We already had the first edition of B-Sides and — little inside note — for months it stayed one of the playlists you kept coming back to the most. So, we couldn't really resist returning with a very needed part two.

But for those who missed the first B-Sides episode, here is a quick little heads-up on what actually waits for you here.

The term “B-side” originally comes from vinyl records and refers to the “other” side of the record — the tracks that were never meant to be the big commercial moment. And somehow, that often made them even better: stranger, rougher, more emotional, more experimental, sometimes even more honest.

And if you think B-sides were simply the leftovers artists didn't care much about — not really. Quite often, they ended up becoming cult favourites on their own. Nirvana’s demos and rough recordings became culturally important far beyond the albums themselves. Lana Del Rey practically became an internet-era B-side icon with tracks like Serial Killer and Pawn Shop Blues, while Arctic Monkeys built an entire fan obsession around unreleased tracks, hidden demos and non-album songs.

And while the first edition leaned a little more towards the obvious classics, this one goes deeper into the corners of post-punk, new wave, art rock and alternative music.

There is Siouxsie and the Banshees with Tattoo, one of those bands that basically shaped gothic rock as we know it. There is 17 Days by Prince — technically a B-side, though many fans still swear it is one of the best songs he ever made. And then you have Expressway to Yr. Skull by Sonic Youth — long, hypnotic, slightly chaotic and almost meditative at the same time. Exactly the kind of track you either completely surrender to or immediately skip after thirty seconds.
