Best of 2025

DMV pride, so much fun to see how big they’re getting in the hardscore scene. Best punk album out of Baltimore this year, yeah I said it fight me!

Someone listened to brat a lot and it was Danny Brown and his producers. Not my favorite of his but there’s a lot of fun. He’s like the tom waits of rap, will not be explaining further.

They sure are!

Hard to pick between his two albums but I think this one squeezes out because of how simple it is.

Shoegaze is back (it has literally never left)

I love being online, jk.

Best Beatles cover of all time, it’s like as good as the Devo Stones cover.

Discovered Greg from a Twitter mutual who has inadvertently led me to a lot of good music! Great album for a long walk or drive

Even his throw away albums are good!

A lot of people don’t know this but Billy woods and ELICID are my dads. It’s true. Anyways this album rips.

Discovered these guys on Instagram reels, Canada you’ve done it again!

This EP makes me want to fight god which is all I ask for in music

Didn’t really gel with these guys until this album and now I’m seeing them open for Joyce Manor, life is beautiful tapestry.

I love it when a rapper and producer just decide to do a whole album together. This rules. Hope both of these boys get their flowers.

A lot of great stuff here! Jeff is on it so ya know, gotta love it. Still mad they did you oughta know instead of BTMI when I saw them live with triple band but alas.

Selling crack sounds so cool I wish it was legal.

Billy woods should make a horror movie.

I miss title fight but this band is really good! If you miss title fight give them a chance.

I would follow Nina Ljeti into hell.

Great album, even greater is they took all their stuff off Spotify cause fuck ICE and fuck Spotify. I use Spotify and am therefore part of the problem.

I feel like I’m the only person who likes this album but Jeff put it in his top albums so obviously I have perfect taste.

Anything Earl makes will always be top 5 for me.

As the biggest Rat Saw God disliker I was shocked that I loooooved this album. Opening track is the best thing they’ve done EVER. Karly Hartzman are you free Thursday to hangout?

Shoegaze is super back!!! Seriously this album is incredible. I’ve listened to it back to back.

I got to listen to this masterpiece at a shitty airport it was perfection. Liquid Mike forever, two years running of having my AOTY. can’t wait to see them in NEVER CAUSE THEY DONT COME TO LA!
