I went to so many amazing shows this year. I saw Bomb the Music Industry!’s last show, Against Me! more than a handful of times, The Lawrence Arms (finally!) coming back, Descendents play Milo Goes To College in its entirety, the drunken fun time that was Red Scare’s 10th Anniversary and so so so much more. Those were the highlights of my year. It helps that a few of my favorite bands put out new records this year. Unfortunately it also doesn’t help because while I was spinning their records continuously I’m sure I missed out on a lot this year hence the short list. There’s always next year to find some gold that I missed from this year and kick myself for it. I’m not worried about it.

I'm a sucker for good pop-punk album and this one is perfect. I had the pleasure of seeing this band this year and it was love at first listen.
