I was late to these guys but still surprised they weren't in my top 5. It was only thing I listened to for weeks at the gym
This album rules 100%, but I'm still a little shocked by how receptive all the major outlets are to it.
Definitely gonna be 25-50 for me. It was a great outing, but there were a lot of records this year I just liked better.
Speaking of only rock/hardcore/punk/whatever, I can't think of any other records that made as big of an impact this year as Glow On did. Just a good fuckin time all the way through. Definitely my AOTY.
Quicksand put out a killer record too - not really genre defying stuff like Turnstile, but a very solid post hardcore/rock record
Don't sleep on Fiddlehead, y'all. I also love the Scowl record that dropped a few weeks ago, How Flowers Grow.
