It’s saying a lot that all of these don’t even account for even half of the records I’ve enjoyed this year. And this is the first time I can remember that I’ve gravitated towards so many heavy records - @holyroarrecords has a lot to answer for! Looks like 2019 has a high standard to beat! https://www.instagram.com/p/BroJZ_3FmX6u0kkq_qqQmDd2tdXhGs7pae6LnY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q5ddcdvvsvna

No fucking way is this record a decade old already! I can vividly remember the summer this came out. Life has changed a lot in the years since, first for the worse and then thankfully for the better, but this has been a regular go-to soundtrack throughout all the ups and downs. A really special record.

What have you been listening to?
Only took ‘em 14 years!!! Worth the wait though; wall-to-wall jams! #hotsnakes #jerichosirens #jams #nowplaying
I’ve loved this song since I was a kid; Dad’s Drifters Greatest Hits tape never left the car (several cars in fact!) and soundtracked so many family journeys! #thedrifters #motown #jams #nowplaying
If you like riffs that hit like a tsunami of tar and razorblades, and the idea of pretty much every super-heavy variant of metal and hardcore being twisted and knotted together (and finished with production that gives it a MASSIVE wallop), you 100% need to get “Mire,” the new record by Conjurer ALL up in your business. (Shout out to @holyroarrecords, who are on a huge hot streak!). #jams #heavy #nowplaying #conjurer #mire #holyroar #holyroarrecords
Last thing I read online before walking into the gym today was an article about this record turning 20years old… be rude to give it a whirl really wouldn’t it? Absolute classic! #kiddynamite #jams #gymjams #workoutsoundtrack #nowplaying (at New Image Gym)
