Goodbye 2021! Looking forward to greener pastures in 2022.
There were a lot of great records this year. King Woman’s Celestial Blues was outstanding. Definitely my favorite & most listened to record of the year……it’s a career defining album for Kris Esfandiari & crew. If you haven’t checked out Scowl or Midwife yet….please do, you won’t be disappointed. Cheers to Turnstile for showing the biggest growth in 2021. Glow On is an amazing album and bodes well for the future of hardcore. Gatecreeper was one of the few shows we saw in 2021 & I’m glad we’ve had An Unexpected Reality around for the past 12 months.
