With 2013 already fading into the distance, we have pulled together our end of year coverage to provide a complete overview of our twelve months of music.
Compilations
We posted all of our 13 compilations released monthly during the last year. Filled with music from grassroots bands to established veterans, each compilation provided a unique look at what was on offer from various punk scenes around the world. In addition to the 12 originals, we also pulled together a Best of 2013 playlist, featuring 13 songs which defined our year. There’s literal hours of music, so sit back and remember 2013 the way it was supposed to be here.
Best Albums and EPs of 2013
The staff here at Punktastic knocked our heads together to generate a collaborative list of ourtop albums and EPs of 2013. See if you agree, and if there are any releases you may have missed here.
Best of 2013: Staff Picks
As well as posting our collective Best of 2013 list, we also each selected our top 10 albums and top 5 (or 4 in some cases) EPs. See the individual staff lists here.
UK Band’s Choice Releases of 2013
We asked the bubbling UK underground for their opinions on the best records of 2013. The results are lists filled with your usual suspects alongside some more obscure entries, and even the occasional pop gem. See their choices here.
Punktastic Reader Awards
We polled our readers to see who they thought deserved awards ranging from the Best New Band to the Best Record Label and Best Venue. See the results here.
