so yeah.
A long strange 12 months. So much music, and not nearly enough time or text to convey how great and wonderful and THRIVING the indie music scene is. It is rather cool to note that at least half of these bands belong to tiny labels or are unsigned or are self released. the ones with nbt in brackets behind them have been played and written about on the NBT podcasts and webpages.
