Christoph Andersson - Capital →
This is one of those tracks that you cannot stop listening to. It has catchy vocal samples, along with a smooth, but powerful bassline and more that comes in as the song progresses. What impresses me most about this New Orleans prodigy is that he is only 18! His “Capital” EP is being released soon, so be sure to grab one of your own!

I dont know about any of you, but when I found the Fast Reverse EP by Bostons Orange Blossom Flyover, I was hooked.

Check out the single “Someone Like You” below, and grab the EP for free on their bandcamp page.

Bad Books →
Bad Books is the combined workings of Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra. They got together to record this album which was released on November 9, 2010 and I have found myself putting this album on a lot. It has the beautiful voice of Kevin Devine along with accompaniment, instrumental and vocal which adds up to be a great sound. Check out their song “The Easy Mark and the Old...

Wise Blood - "+" →
I haven’t heard much about this Pittsburgh group when i stumbled upon this album. I was still unable to find out much about the group, other than the fact that they define themselves as “future music”. Either way, these songs are all bursting with an experimental dream pop sound, which i personally cannot get enough of. The EP is available for $5 on their bandcamp.

Much like it was a great year in Indie/Electronic music, there were a lot of great releases in Hardcore/Metal/Punk etc. Again, these aren’t the best albums by any professional reviews, but these are my favourite releases this year. Especially with genres as broad as “Hardcore”, it is often hard to define what to look for in certain bands. All 10 albums featured here range from...
