So you are packed, you have organised your itinerary, and you even went so far as to figure out who is going to be in charge of snacks. But in the midst of all of the planning mayhem, you forgot one thing: the music.

Yeah sure everyone has an iPhone with hundreds of songs on it, but you need a playlist that flows perfectly from song to song, not disjunctively going from a Disney track one moment to a Queen ballad the next. You MUST have a killer playlist to jam out to as you cruise down the highway on your way to the world’s largest Ukrainian easter egg for a photo-op (it is a thing I looked it up). Pretty sure it is also, like, illegal or something to have a terrible road trip playlist. But not to worry – I’m here to keep you from doing hard time in the slammer.

Here are the 10 must-have songs for your summer ’16 road trip playlist – but be warned they have been proven to induce hand clapping, feet stomping, and uncontrollable head banging. If you play these songs on your next road trip with friends, you will guaranteed to be on DJ-duty for subsequent road trips, and your street cred will rise at least 5 points. You also will not get arrested for having terrible music taste, because that is definitely a thing that happens, and not something that I just made up so you would read this article…


 1.Pen to Paper // Modern Space

This track by the Ontario-based band, Modern Space, is the perfect mix of whimsical and punk rock, making for the perfect song to listen to as you drive down the highway with your hair flowing in the wind.This song is versatile in that you don’t need to be screaming out the lyrics to fully enjoy the song. You can tap your feet, or look out of the window as if you’re in the perfect summer-themed music video.The rough vocals and slightly dirty sounding instrumentals really allow you to get into the ‘punk-rock summer’ mood, which is exactly what you will have if these lads are at the top of your playlist.
