Best of 2018: Local Music

4 FAVORITE LOCAL RECORDS
by Benn Ray

No More Songs About Wildflowers by Snakes

The final album from Baltimore's Snakes - a band I fell in love with at 2017's Hampdenfest. The songs have a country-noir feel - like they could be on the soundtrack to HBO's True Detective show.

Warsome by Monster Museum

Monster Museum has always been one of my favorite bands - they're sort of like Baltimore's Sonic Youth - but cooler.

Keep Up The Good Work by The Gold-Bug

Great indie-rock in a surprise release from cult local fave.

Capture The Flag by War On Women

Un-fucking-relenting, unapologetic, fearless hardcore with some metal tinges. Smash the patriarchy.
