Was The Maccabees gigs one of there final ones? They never reached great heights over here but saw them play a couple of months before they announced they were splitting and it was one of the best gigs I've been to and not many there.

 

2017 Highlights.

Gang of Youths one of the best albums I've heard in a long time.

Smith Street Band

Cub Sport

Jungle Giants

The National album, whatever it was called I've try to block the dirge from my memory (soz national fans), I have to admit though I had no idea who they were and picked it up simply from reading so many positive reviews.

 

Best Gig.

Paul Simon

 

Worst Gig.

Bob Dylan

 

Another great year for the girls.

Alvvays -Antisocialites was hands down my favourite record of the year. I love every song on it. I have to disagree with you on The National, though. Carin at the liquor store in particular is a beautiful song.

Wolf Alice – ‘Visions Of A Life’
Alvvays – ‘Antisocialites’

Japanese Breakfast - Soft sounds from another planet
Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun
The National - Sleep Well Beast 
Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog

Song of the year: Chromatics - Shadow

Biggest Disappointments
The new Queens of the stone age record was a complete disappointment. Hands down their worst album for me. 
Slowdive- Dead Oceans: some really great moments on it but not a touch on 90s slowdive. Though they were still awesome when i saw them back in October. 

On a side note: is anyone interested in starting an indie/dream-pop band? Influences include: Alvvays, The Smiths, Slowdive, The Cure, Cigarettes after sex, Mac DeMarco, Japanese Breakfast, JAWS etc.
