All the Young Punks’ Top 40: Best Albums of 2011
There was so much good music released in 2011 that I find it’s actually hard to confine a list to the top 40. These are some of the albums that struck me as interesting, exciting or irresistible.
I’ll count down from 40 to 1 in two posts.
40. Bass Drum of Death – GB City: This is such a fun debut from two guys from Mississippi. It rocks hard.
Young Pros – Bass Drum of Death
39. The Obits – Moody, Standard and Poor: Indie vet Rick Froberg plays stripped down, loud rock ‘n’ roll.
38. Male Bonding – Endless Now: Great second album from these London punks.
37. Cymbals Eat Guitars – Lenses Alien: Band pays respectable homage to Pavement.
36. The Babies – The Babies: What do you get when you cross Woods with the Vivian Girls? A pretty boss album.
Meet Me In The City – The Babies
Year of the EP: Wavves, Weekend, Toro Y Moi
One of the best music releases last week was Kurt Vile’s EP So Outta Reach. While there have been excellent new albums out this fall — Girls, Wilco and Wild Flag come to mind — there are some notable short releases, too.
Here are some other recommended EP releases from the past couple of months:
Wavves – Life Sux
Music doesn’t always need to be cerebral.
I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl - Wavves
Weekend – Red
Nice follow to the impressive debut album Sports from last year.
Toro Y Moi – Freaking Out
The king of chill follows the full-length Underneath the Pine with a loose, danceable release.
Trash Talk – Awake
Fans of hardcore definitely want to check this one out.
