Logan’s Top 10 of 2009
As I mentioned in my blog post, I have really enjoyed 2009. Narrowing down the amount of records I liked to ten was really really really really really difficult. There are about 25 or 30 albums that deserved a spot on this list (a list I will expand on in the next couple days, hint hint). Four records battled for the number one spot. However, I managed to create an accurate representation of my favourite records of the year, and this is what I came up with:

1. Paramore – Brand New Eyes

1. Converge – Axe To Fall
All I have to say is, damn did I call it. Not that that’s much of a revelation, considering Converge have managed to dwell on the top 5 of every …

Nick’s Top 10 of 2009
Ah, Top Ten lists. Will there ever be a more difficult process in the realm of criticizing music? 2009 has brought with it many achievements and many unexpected surprises in the world of organized sound. Picking out a top ten was tough, but this year might just be the best year of music this decade has experienced. I wholly look forward to enjoying every one of these releases for years to come. Let’s hope you do too!

1. He Is Legend – It Hates You
“It Hates You” has everything I like about He Is Legend amalgamated into a fresh new silver bullet. From post-metal, to doom, to shoegaze, to southern rock, this …

2009: The Best Year In Music?
If you are into the music covered on Hearwax (hardcore punk, indie, metal, etc.) to the same extent that the posters – including myself – are, it is hard to deny that 2009 was one …
