銀杏BOYZ - DOOR
(squealing earsplitting japanese punk)
Edward Skeletrix - Skeletrix Language
(my AOTY 2023, psychosis collapse rap)
BAD MESSIAH - 愛撫
(japanese hair metal band goes pop in big and experimental ways)
New Radicals - Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too
(one hit wonder by choice, gregg alexander is the greatest living songwriter of our time and he’s been living in the shadows since this writing hits for others)
The Tragically Hip - Day For Night
(canadian legends but almost exclusively in canada, this needed to crossover decades ago. some of the best alt rock ever.)
