This is HUGE. Read more below.

Let's face it, 2020 has been a pretty shit year in a lot of ways, but for new music, it's been pretty darned good.
I listened to more new music this year than ever before I reckon. We all had a fair bit of spare time didn't we?
Anyhow, this is my favourite albums for 2020. I may add to it, because I'm still getting through them. I even recently discovered at least 3 that would've made last year's list, had I heard them last year.
Surprisingly, as with last year, I can't separate the first 3 for album of the year. To avoid a shit-fight (with myself) the first 3 are simply listed in the order in which I heard them. The rest are in no particular order, just as they came to mind.
​Cheers.

I spoke with RAIDEN and CRAIG MACINTYRE from South Australian band, SHATTERED HOURGLASS about the band's debut album, 'Timekeeper', due out December 8th. This band will surprise you, they surprised me when I saw them earlier this year. It's not often you go to a gig, and the lead guitarist in a heavy band is 12 years old. Yeah, you read that right. To top it off, RAIDEN had a guitar sound like TONY IOMMI. Check it all out below, where you'll find the interview, press release and the link to the new single on YouTube.
