Best Records of the Year 2020: 40-21

Later than ever, we know... but December (more hospital visits) has been pretty hectic, somewhat fitting this surreal year, finally vanishing. Yet the time has arrived to unveil our Best Records of 2020! Like we did last year, we have maintained the number of 40 for the albums listed, splitting the post in two. The only difference being the inclusion of EPs within the list (as we haven't had a lot of them among our favourites this season). Therefore, here are our mandatory albums, "in charge of" our soundtrack in this excruciating 2020, starting with the LPs ranging from 40 to 21. A stunning harvest despite the times, really deserving a listen! And stay tuned, the Top 20 will be online tomorrow!

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 250

The first TOP TEN JUKEBOX of the year comes full of energy and good vibes, something only the best music can provide. Ten wonderful options to enjoy the free time as it deserves alongside "old friends", such as the new proposals of Nada Surf, Close Lobsters, Pia Fraus or The Flatmates. After such an amazing collection of tunes (always in our humble opinion, of course) we can only say: long live to the guitars... and here's hoping for this playlist to be a sign of the music to be discovered in this 2020! Have a very nice Sunday, and remember to join us in our Soundcloud page!

Agenda of Concerts Fall 2016

Here we are again, beginning a new season of concerts! And therefore, in order to honor one of our traditions, here's our personal Agenda of Concerts for this Fall. Luckily, it looks like a really awesome end of year ahead, with the chance to see our beloved Fear of Men or The Wedding Present again, plus exciting newcomers as The Goon Sax or Sunflower Bean (November will be a "busy" month, for sure!). Without, of course, forgetting Primavera Club Festival which, among others, will give us the chance of watching Minor Victories' live (one of our MUSTS for the season). Obviously, we hope to add more proposals soon (September has only started) so we'll have months full of live music! Have a look and see you there!

Best Songs of the Year 2016...so far

Following the best records /EPs list, here's the list with our favourite tunes (trimmed down to 30) of 2016 to date. We have listed them in alphabetic order (remember we rank them at the end of the year), taking in mind only "two rules": songs have been released during 2016, and just one song per group (a really hard decision in some cases). The Spotify playlist (plus some soundcloud links for the ones missing) below the picture, as well as the complete list. Enjoy!
