2024 YEAR END REVIEW
Things started slowly this year but eventually reached a fever pitch by the time the summer hit. There were lots of gigs with plenty of touring acts making their way over to the East Coast which created lots of excitement (Queens of The Stone Age, Dayglo Abortions, Black Flag, D.O.A., Circle Jerks, NOFX, Billy Idol, Mad Caddies etc). Once again, we were blessed with dependable venues, a plethora of local bands and a slew of new releases so one cannot complain. Here's hoping that people choose step out and go to live shows more often (if they manage to pry themselves away from their phones).
2024 LOCAL (and adjacent) RELEASE ROUNDUP:
Joseph Edgar - Joseph Edgar LP
East Coast Rivals - Kill The King 7"
Follow-Ups - Know Who Your Friends Aren't LP
Real Rejects - Not Allowed 10"
We've again asked the local music freaks to list their faves of 2024. Check it out and enjoy.
