My top 10 records of 2009

So I have included 1 extra. Deal with it. Not in any order.

Rancid - Let The Dominoes Fall
http://www.myspace.com/rancid

Return to form for the punks from the east bay. Now they just need to come back and play some decent size shows in the UK.



Dear Landlord - Dream Homes
http://www.myspace.com/letslynchthedearlandlord

First time I heard this I was hooked. still play it daily. SYKED for the uk shows in May.




Nofx - Coaster
http://www.myspace.com/nofx

Best album since So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes




The Arteries - Blood, Sweat & Beers
http://www.myspace.com/thearteries

Easily best new band in the UK. This album will go down as another Household Name Records Classic.



The Lawrence Arms - Buttsweat and Tears
http://www.myspace.com/thelawrencearms

Best EP by far, only complaint is that it isnt an LP




Broadway Calls - Good Views, Bad News
http://www.myspace.com/broadwaycalls

If there had to be a no.1 this would probably be it. Great follow up to the hit-tastic self titled first album.




Classics Of Love - Walking In Shadows
http://www.myspace.com/classicsofloveband

Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy new band. Hard Girls are behind the instruments. looking forward to a full length from these guys.



Cheap Girls - Find Me A Drink Home
http://www.myspace.com/cheapgirls

Ian Graham's vocals are nothing short of brilliant. Hopefully these guys will be back over in the UK during 2010



Pearl Jam - Backspacer
http://www.pearljam.com/

This was played constantly during my holiday in Australia this year, so great memories of an amazing trip with a superb soundtrack.



Mariachi El Bronx - El Bronx
http://www.myspace.com/thebronx

Finally got a proper release. Weird that I probably wouldn't buy any other mariachi music though.



The Gallows - Grey Britain
http://www.myspace.com/gallows

Fuck the critics, fuck the majors, fuck what you think. I love this record.
