Good evening and Happy New Year to all! Answers and parsing for 2, 3 and 5 would be appreciated, thank you!

Cryptic Connections
In a Cryptic Connections puzzle, five cryptic crossword clues must be solved; their answers can be made from the list of letters given underneath. Once all the clues have been solved, some letters will be unused; these can be arranged to give a word or phrase that links the answers to the five clues.

1 Punch and walk out (6) STRIKE
2 Official is embraced by new leading lady (8)
3 Someone papers onlookers' houses (6)
4 Almost tense after dark (5) NIGHT
5 Maybe hip and trendy during note (5)
