Best of 2015- The Album List

Time to round up the best from the year 2015! Not so packed as 2014, but still, it gave birth to some interesting releases. Worth a very special mention to Martin Phillipps' The Chills and The Apartments who returned with first new albums in almost twenty years, both reaching the Top ten on our charts, proving they still got the beat going. Our favorites by far and most listened would be Susanne Sundførs' 'Ten Love Songs' and Tame Impala's 'Currents'. What else was hot? See below...

Next Wave: Viet Cong

Viet Cong is a Calgary based indie rock band from Canada. The group consists of two ex-members of the rock band Women, vocalist/bassist Matt Flegel and drummer Mike Wallace, as well as guitarists Scott Munro and Daniel Christiansen and it was formed around 2012. To this date they have released two EPs and two singles and this year finally they released their much anticipated self titled debut album which certainly is one of the top albums this year. Their musical style is described as Labyrinth post-punk and combines various influences and reflects in various music styles. Viet Cong invent new Post-punk instead making another Post-Punk revival.
