A popular question in the forums regards the hard rock song currently featured in tv trailer spots for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. The answer - that old standby of hard rock, AC/DC, offering up the song "Thunderstruck".

Whether it's TV spots for the upcoming film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, or MTV's summer reality series Surf Girls, chances are you've been hearing music from the neo-punk girl group The Donnas.

You've probably heard their music on an episode of ALIAS or as the theme to NBC's cancelled drama, KINGPIN. Most recently, it's the track featured in the new Nissan commercial for the V6 Altima. The song is "Mas" by a group named Kinky.
