In 2025, I set myself a new quest. I wanted to discover at least 75 new artists or albums. I ended up reaching 117.
Of the 106 unique bands 15 were already bands I listened to, so I discovered 89 new artists last year. I’m tagging a lot of folks in this post. So many of these bands are undiscovered and I want them to know they are seen… or heard rather… On to 2026…
