Breaking out of lockdown after almost two years of live show decimation in 2022 was one of many of the years joys and so to be able to bring back a category like this to the Listmania Awards season (trademark, patient applied for) is something we’ve been looking forward to doing for a long time.
Chapter #3 of Listmania Awards season and a conundrum presents itself like a beast from the black lagoon. In a modern world where the waterfall release strategy is prevalent how do we give you a list of our top #5 singles of 2022? There are so many to choose from, it’s like being a five

After yesterday’s run down of our top #5 EPs which was a serious challenge, today’s focus is the albums and whittling them down from our list of 365 reviewed this year has near impossible with a cigarette paper width between some of them. It was close. But like any list you have to be decisive
It’s snow joke that having reviewed 365 plus albums and EPs in 2021 this category is the toughest of the lot to make decisions upon. The Great Plague Years have served to reinvigorate the format with some bands even choosing to split an album into bite sized EP releases over 12 months to keep their
Good morning Vietnam! It’s that time of year again! Our annual awards season made up of five sets of five awards between Christmas and New Year starts here.
