Sigh, there was a lot of good music released this year.
From comebacks to debuts, 2017 was start to finish a great soundtrack.
These are my top ten albums of 2017.
No particular order of course.

Around The World And Back.
You all know how obsessed I am with State Champs.
If you don't go here and you'll soon realise.
Last night kick started their UK tour with Northbound and As It Is.
When I got to the venue, Northbound had just started their set. These guys are from South Florida and this is their first in the UK. I've never listened to their music before but they put on a really good set. If you like Can't Swim, State Champs or Homesafe, I'm sure you'll like these guys.
The second support was As It Is. These guys grew up not too far from me, so I love seeing how far they've come. As It Is are one of the biggest pop punk names in England right now and their set really showed why. Filled with energy, they got the whole venue jumping.
Last, and no where near least, State Champs. You're probably all bored of hearing how amazing I think these New Yorkers are, but honestly, I have no other words.
I've been apart of the alternative music scene for over a decade now, but it's a place I've truly come to love.
These types of shows are always filled with love, acceptance and good vibes, not just from the bands but the fans also.
There's a positive energy I don't feel when I'm at other concerts. I feel safe and happy and any anxiety has evaporated.
Much love.

Top 10 Albums Of 2015.
I've been slacking a little in terms of music/cd reviews this year. So to make up for it, I thought it would be fun to do a list of my top ten albums released this year.
This isn't in any particular order- I would literally be here forever trying to do decide otherwise!
All photos have been found on google images.
So, lets get right on...

Warped Tour | My Music Favourites.
Ahh yes. That time of year again.
Every summer since I was about 13, I've been jealous of anyone who gets to go Warped Tour. (Minus a couple of summer that had awful line ups)
Warped is a music festival that travels all over America -and part of Canada- throughout the summer, filled with 50+ bands from pop punk to heavy metal.
Since I live in the UK, I've never been able to go, which disappoints me greatly. I know they one in London now but its not the same!
I know the tour started a few days ago. I meant to have this blog post up last week, but things came up. I apologise.
I've never done this before, but I figured since I still like to stay up to date with the tour, I may as well talk about it here.
So, if you get to go this summer, here's who I think you should check out!
Please Note!

Ones To Watch 2015 | Part 1
I actually really enjoyed putting that list together, and I got some pretty good feedback from some people, so I figured I would do one for this year!
Please note that all photos have been edited by me.
First up is With Confidence. I got into these guys a few months ago, through another band that they were touring with.
This Aussie 4 piece -made up of Jayden, Josh, Inigo and Luke- have already supported the likes of Tonight Alive, You Me At Six and The Wonder Years.
As far as I'm aware these Sydney boys are currently unsigned, but I'm sure their alternative sound is going to take them far.
Their second EP is currently up for pre order here. Hopefully one day they can get their butts to England because I've been listening to them an insane amount over the past couple of months.
Personal Favourites: "I will Never Wait", "Take Me Away", "Tonight", "Stand Again"
For Fans Of: You Me At Six, The Dangerous Summer and Anarbor.
If you watch youtubers you will most probably have heard of Patty Walters. Well he's in a band. And they happen to be pretty damn good.
As It Is have recently signed to Fearless Records, making them the first UK band to ever sign to the label. The quintet are currently recording their debut album and there is ALOT of talk surrounding them.
Hailing in from Brighton, which btw happens to be just down the road from me, 2015 will see As It Is touring non stop , including a spot on Warped tour for the whole summer. Plus with their album release, 2015 will be a big year for these guys.
Personal favourites: "Horoscopes", Bitter, Broken Me"
For Fans Of: The Wonder Years, All Time Low, Tonight Alive.
Now, Halsey is an artist I've only recently found out about. But I'm in love.
This indie-pop artist from New Jersey has just released her debut EP, Room 93, and on her blog, has desribed her music as being "about sex and being sad".
Her softly sweet vocals mixed with the grittiness of the lyrics will punch you straight in the gut.
I already know that 2015's summer evenings will be spent with this little lady on repeat. And I;m pretty sure the radio stations will be agreeing with me on that one.
Plus she seems like the coolest kid ever. What's not to love?!
Personal Favourites: "Hurricane", "Ghost", "Empty Gold"
For Fans Of: CHVRCHES, Little Daylight, Haim.
Come back on Sunday for the last three!
Much love.
