General Question

Music lovers, can you recommend a licensable song that fits for a short film?
A friend is making a short film about a mob enforcer. The movie opens with a scene of my character running through a parking deck and up stairwells (much/all will be in slow-motion) with the opening credits overlaid.
It’s currently being edited using the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” to get the tone right, but my friend obviously doesn’t have the budget to license a song like that. There are many indie bands that make their music available to license for short films for reasonable rates. Do any of you know of any artists/songs that might be similar to Sabotage in tone, tempo, style, etc. but would be affordable to license? Thanks in advance for your help!
