Below you will find my top 15 Indie albums of 2019 listed in descending order from my 15th favorite record of the year to my number one favorite record of the year. I am a one person operation so it is very possible I may not have heard of many releases you feel should be […]

#10)  Rezn-Calm Black Water Chicago-based stoner quartet, Rezn, follow up 2017’s Let it Burn with a sophomore effort illustrating a maturation in the group’s songwriting abilities. Rezn implements a jam-oriented sound with sprawling tracks seemingly influenced by nostalgic, groove-based psych rock with just enough fuzz in their tone to appeal to modern audiences as well. […]

#10) Little Ugly Girls–Little Ugly Girls Despite landing opening spots for legendary punk acts in the early ’90s such as Fugazi and Bikini Kill, the Australian “riot grrl” act known as Little Ugly Girls waited until 2018 to release their debut full length album.

I understand that the year end list for this particular genre is noticeable shorter than my previous post regarding the year’s conclusion. This stems from nothing more than the fact that 2017 had an underwhelming amount of selections that stood out for me in particular. There was undoubtedly a large selection of rap albums I […]

2017 included a vast array of strong releases from various subgenres of Punk Rock including the likes of Hardcore, Post Punk, Post Hardcore, Riot Grrrl, and so on. I was able to generate a list including ten of my favorites.   #10) Wire–Silver/Lead The UK Post Punk icons known as Wire celebrate the 40th anniversary of […]
