THE BEST ALBUMS/EPs/SINGLES OF 2021


And just like that another year went by. A year where we got to see live shows making a return (the virus did too to fuck it up of course), and even though they were mostly locals bands, they were a lot of fun (see you next year Bikini Kill!). What we saw also was all the releases coming out from the bands that took the first year of the pandemic to write new material. And there was a lot!

Band: Dream Nails / Photographer: Jeroen Jacobs The year 2020 was probably off to a good start for many of us.

It didn't take long for independant medias and artists to get the ball rolling again. After all, most of us have been doing it ourselves for so long.
