Some Things I Missed from 2013

It happens every year, you think you’ve covered all your bases with your end of the year list and then a few weeks into the New Year you hear a bunch of stuff that totally shakes up the list. This year was no different. Check out some awesome tracks and albums that I stupidly passed over in 2013.

Together PANGEA – “Snakedog”

Holy rock and roll! Hives-esque riffage with an explosive group-sung chorus gets the head bobbing and the foot tapping. March 28^th Media Club, someone come with me.

Lucius – Wildewoman

This was an album I made the conscious decision to skip over when I heard one of the tracks earlier in 2013. What an idiotic choice that was! This is great folk rock with some cool melodies and percussion breakdowns. February 10^th Media Club, come out.

Sleepy Sun – “11:32”

This is the B-side track of the Sleepy Sun 7-inch released in 2013 on Dine Alone Records. Excellent psychedelic rock and roll with a driving, deep guitar riff that holds the reverb heavy accents floating over the top of the track together. The lyrics are incomprehensible as per usual. Oh well.

Shad – “Love Means”

I didn’t really skip over this track at all, as it was in my Top 25 for a long time. This track contains the best female rapping of 2013, if not EVER. That’s right, I really like this verse. She goes by the name Eternia. Great feature followed up by some solid lines from Shad matching his stellar lyrics from the rest of Flying Colours.
