Marsicans - Ursa Major absolutely bodies sea girls.

Didn’t realise they’d released today will have to check it out. Liked a couple of their early singles and they were decent at Reading 2018 I’ve just not really kept up with them

Mine would go in no particular order

1)NOACF - the 1975

2)Future Nostalgia- Dua Lipa

3)Everything Changes in the End - Vistas

4)The Slow Rush - Tame Impala

5)Wake Up Sunshine - All Time Low

6)NIT&EIP - Enter Shikari

7)Love, Death & Dancing - Jack Garattt

8)the New Abnormal - the Strokes

9)Dreamland - Glass Animals 

10) the Bonny - Gerry Cinnamon 

 

Expecting this to change with IDLES, Declan McKenna, the Magic Gang, Everything Everything and NBT to come

 

 

And the new Marsicians album is brilliant as well and on Sea Girls they add unnecessary curses I think they don’t need to have swear words where they are

Really? I mean it was alright, but I thought the self titled album was better. Might have to check it out again.

Also I'd recommend you check out the albums by Gulch (best Hardcore album of the year imo), Drain (especially if you love Turnstile) and Year of the Knife (had no right being as good as it was, it was just so violent).

Love a top 10 but my taste have diverged from this festival so much. Oh well

1. The Microphones - Microphones in 2020
2. Sun is Poison - Rodeo Abandoned by God
3. Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
4. Run the Jewels - RTJ4
5. Gulch - Impenetrable Cerebral Fortress
6. Hot Mulligan - You'll Be Fine
7. A.A.L - 2017-2019
8. Drain - California Cursed
9. Loathe - I Let It In and It Took Everything
10. Beach Bunny - Honeymoon

Honorable mentions to BackxWash, Charmer, Spanish Love Songs, Nicolas Jaar, Jeff Rosenstock, Yawning, Carly Rae Jepsen, Retirement Party, Ratboys, Pet Shimmers and the other album Sun is Poison put out. My mind will certainly change next week

Gulch and Drain's albums are outstanding!

I haven't listened to many new albums this year, got a lot of catching up to do but here's my top 5:

1. Enter Shikari - Nothing is True & Everything is Possible

2. DMA's - The Glow

3. Biffy Clyro - A Celebration of Endings

4. Fontaines D.C - A Hero's Death

5. Courteeners - More.Again.Forever (ready to get slated for that one)

Not albums but I've also really enjoyed the singles released by Idles and Larry Pink the Human this year and also Alkaline Trios new EP - "E.P."

The Larry Pink the Human songs have all been great and I've not seen anyone else talking about them - hopefully they'll make it to the Fest Republic stage next year?

Yep. I have been playing the FYS album since it came out. It’s just really clicked with me. We were really lucky in South Yorkshire that for the first three months of lockdown, we were blessed with really pleasant weather. The FYS album complimented it really well. 
 

Gulch and YOTK are both in my top 20 😎 The black metal riffing on the second track on the Gulch album that comes out of nowhere had my jaw on the floor. It’s a brilliant record. The fucking riffs on the YOTK album are wild, too. I would highly recommend Sharptooth if you haven’t checked the album out already, it’s brilliant and definitely worth listening to if you like the Gulch and YOTK albums. 
 

I’ve also got Backxwash in my top 20. Nice inclusion of Phoebe in your list too, another great album. The Mark Lanegan album from earlier this year would definitely be worth your time too, I think.

Yeah I've really liked what they've released so far. I think Isaac did most of the songwriting for slaves (correct me if I'm wrong) so it's great to see Laurie has a talent for it as well. Would love to see them live next year, Festival Republic seems like a decent shout. I'm also hoping there's an album announcement soon as well.

Just checked Wikipedia, I was wrong they both contribute to writing. I'll rephrase that then - as much as I like Slaves, it's great to see Laurie do something completely different to it and pull it off well.

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
