<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe only thing bad about this album is that The Wants didn’t get to extensively tour to promote it. Screw you, 2020. Container<\/a> <\/em>deserves to be heard by everyone, especially post-punk fans or anyone else who likes their rock with a slight goth edge. I was lucky enough to see them in February 2020<\/a> before the country and touring and venues shut down. I hope they’re able to get back to the road soon, because hearing this record live is even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #9: Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – Viscerals<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This album<\/a> is so heavy that it might break your turntable if you have it on vinyl. The Black Sabbath <\/strong>influences are evident, but Pigs X7 sound like they had fun while making an album to unleash their wrath upon Brexit, COVID-19, politicians across the pond, and jackasses in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #8: Frankie and the Witch Fingers – Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’d only heard a few tracks by Frankie and the Witch Fingers from earlier records before hearing their new album, Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters…<\/a><\/em> Holy crap. This record floored me. It’s double-album-full of prime psychedelia, shoegaze, and garage rock jams. Let this album consume you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #7: BRANDY – The Gift of Repetition<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t remember where I first heard BRANDY’s music, but I’m glad I did because this is the most fun punk record<\/a> I heard all year. The repetition mentioned in the album’s title is used to great effect throughout the record with killer beats, riffs, and choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #6: Hum<\/strong> – <\/strong><\/em>Inlet<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest surprise release of the year also turned out to be one of the best albums of the year. No one expected or even considered a new, full-length album by 1990s shoegaze legends Hum, but along came Inlet<\/a> <\/em>to knock off our socks and remind us that these guys can mop the floor with just about any other band out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only five more to go! Who takes the title of best album of 2020? Come back tomorrow to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep your mind open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [Don’t forget to subscribe.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
