- 61. Only Crime - We Are Divided: After 7 years Only Crime is finally back with a new album, unfortunately in the between they seemed to forget how to write as good of melodies as they used to.
- 62. Quilt - Tired & Buttered: This song has some real 60's harmonies going on, but it didn't come out in the 60's. It came this year. That's why it's on this list.
- 63. People Under The Stairs - Pictures on the Wall: Great beat. A silly hiphop song about social media. Social media, by the way, is terrible. I get the hypocrisy.
- 64. RVIVR - Goodbyes: If this band puts out something, you can expect it to be pretty great. This song follows that idea.
- 65. Broken Bells - After The Disco: The kids will love this one. It's got that pop beat that it's all the rage these days.
- 66. Dwarves - Trailer Trash: This band is basically the reason that censorship exists. True to fashion, this song is offensive much like older releases.
- 67. Speedy Ortiz - Everything's Bigger: Great voice on this one. It has a very 90's sound to it.
- 68. Toh Kay - Shantantitty Town: A song about visiting the red light district with an incredibly upbeat melody? Yep, That's how this song goes.
- 69. Rad Payoff - Sunglasses: Go to their bandcamp page and download the full album. This is how punk music should sound.
- 70. Cake - Is This Love? (Live): Cake is a great band and they released a live album this year. This particular song is fairly old, but I included it anyway.
- 71. Slow Club - Tears of Joy: Their first album was amazing and their second album was sort of terrible. The 3rd one is somewhere in the middle, but this song shines among the rest.
- 72. Sims - Uh Huh: Sims is really agreeable on this song. Get it? Get it? Anyway, this song reminds me of parts of Doomtree.
- 73. Western Addiction - I'm Not The Man I Thought I'd Be: Whenever I hear this band I feel as if the 80's hey days of punk are back. They aren't though and I'm probably just a washed up and bitter person. This song is the band's only release this year.
- 74. Vertical Scratches - These Plains: "The Spacemans flying a spaceship far away from here". That's the chorus of this song. I've sold you on this song already right?
- 75. Direct Hit! - Wasting Away: One of two songs these Ohio residents released this year. It's bands like these that help keep punk alive and fun. Kudos to them.
- 76. Uke-Hunt - Because: Even though Spike Slawson is already in a cover band, he decided to start another. This one (non-surprisingly) focuses heavily on the ukulele. Pro-tip fellas, use this album to swoon all the ladies
- 77. Zombina and The Skeletons - Tonight, There Will Be No Survivors: All of this band's songs focus on a horror element. Very pycho-billy-esque.
- 78. Sondre Lerche - Bad Law: It's weird that I like this Norwegian pop-sensation, but I do and I think it makes me a better person. Or it doesn't. Nothing really matters.
- 79. Run The Jewels - Lie, Cheat, Steal: Everybody seems to really really love this record. It's good, but nowhere as good as reviews are saying. There are some good lines on this song.
- 80. Old Man Markley - Stupid Today: Bluegrass + punk = sometimes really good music, as is the case with this band.
- 81. Teenage Bottlerocket - TV Set: Some Ramones style punk from Wyoming. Most everything this band releases is gold.
- 82. That Handsome Devil - Goldfish Brain: Such a weird band, but it's a nice change of sound from everything else.
- 83. Ex Hex - Hot and Cold: This is a good song. I wish I had more say about this song, but that's about it.
- 84. The Interrupters - White Noise: I could've picked a number of songs off this album, it's a very well-rounded album.
- 85. The Reaganomics - Bite Your Tongue: Lyrics that a lot of us could probably follow. Super catchy too.
- 86. Laura Cantrell - All The Girls Are Complicated: Yes. Yes they are. After this song you'll probably agree.
- 87. The Dollyrots - Get Weird: Nothing much to say here except for this is a solid punk song. Sometimes you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
- 88. The Wytches - Gravedweller: Reverb-y, rock'n'roll song with an excess amount of vibrato in the vocals. I'm sold.
- 89. The Dopamines - Midwesternplayalisticeconolinemuzik: These guys surprise released this song. It's good, just as you would expect from this band.
- 90. Ozma - You'd Think I'd Know: I was really excited when I found out these guys were released their first album in 7 years. Unfortunately it wasn't nearly as good as their older stuff (read jaded?). This is the best track on the album.
