Best of 2012

We put out a record last year. Some people enjoyed it. Some people felt it was one of the most enjoyable albums they heard all year, and some of those people have blogs, which give their opinions greater authority than yours or mine.

***
We made 12 out of 30 (how does one rank that many albums?) on IBuyWayTooManyRecords.com.

We beat out Green Day in Dylan from DyingScene.com's Top 10 list.

Uncle Critic presents a no-frills Top 25 list.

Briton's Joe Brigg's calls us "power-fighting power pop", which we are totally stealing, in his favorite 2012 punk releases. (It might be worth mentioning that Mr. Briggs is Mitch Clem's writing partner on the illustrious webcomic Nothing Nice to Say.

We were deemed "orgcore" enough to make the list of PunkNews.org editor John Flynn's picks.

Ovrld.com has an Austin-specific list that we made the Top 20 of.

TheNewScheme.com has us included, with a kind write-up, on a list of 10 Records I Neglected in 2012.

I don't know who decides to do a "Top 48", but they are bilingual and they rated us at a respectable #15!

The zine Wasted Opportunities from Australia got their Best of 2012 out a little late, but we made #8.

It's all very flattering. There were a lot of great records this year. Thanks for listening to ours.

(I have to say, Redd Kross's "Researching the Blues" should have been in everybody's top 5.)
