…And that was the year that was. Went fast, didn't it? Feels like only a few weeks since we were looking ahead to what 2023 had in store. And yet, here we are again. There's been genuinely unexpected returns from heroes with their best work in years, the usual young newbies having a pop at the champs, the deeply satisfying sight of bands on the rise delivering something that's powerfully them, and a few dead certs that, in the event, proved even better than expected.
It's been a brilliant 12 months for music; every single week we've heard something new that's got us excited. We're proud to have been there bringing you the scoop on it all. And with just as much pride, we've once again welcomed an immense number of new bands to our cover.
