Songs I Enjoyed a Lot in 2014

Hi friends, here’s a robust round-up of tunes in no particular order that I played the hell out of in the year 2014. It’s a splendid mix of loud, melodic, menacing, hopeful, dark, sweet and crunchy. There’s something for everyone because I care about you guys and I also have a deep-seated, almost debilitating need to be loved. So click those little play buttons, do some air drumming then support these artists and buy their records.

My Favorite Record of 2014: “Shmyvesant” by Stuyvesant

My Favorite Record of 2014: “Shmyvesant” by Stuyvesant

These Hoboken/NYC area music scene vets serve up a power pop meets old school Cali-punk plate of goodness with some serious musicianship and a love for giant hooks, razor-sharp stop-starts, and soaring melodies replete with glorious backing oohs and ahhs. They are one of those bands you sing along to after the second spin of their record, gleefully infectious and exhilarating.
