    top tenI've decided to go with my Top 10 Concerts of 2023 since there were so many great ones! In chronological order...
      
    1. TURNSTILE at The Enmore Theatre (Syd) - Feb 16:
    After getting heavily into their latest album, 'Glow On' (A unique mix of NYC style crossover Thrash Metal and Dream Pop), I was extremely excited to see them live. The hype around this band at the time was palpable and they did not disappoint. Blood pumping guitar riffage, delay soaked vocals and absolutely insane drumming, they put on one of the most intense performances I've ever seen, ripper show! Highlights included "Don't Play", "Holiday" and "Drop".

    Marcus' Top Ten Albums for 2024 (with Spotify playlist after the fold)

    1. Bad Nerves - Still Nervous:
    I'm hooked on this album ! Full-throttle garage punk but with an ear for hooks and melodies. They're from Essex and have lately been opening for the likes of The Hives, Royal Bloodand The DarknessBillie Joe Armstrong has labelled them “the best band in England right now." This album is so much fun !
    Fav Track: You've Got The Nerve

    2. The Lemon Twigs - A Dream Is All We Know:
    These guys are absolutely brilliant ! With this album, they've really honed in on the 60's Pop/Baroque sound but also with elements of 70's power-pop. A couple of tracks on this sound like The Raspberries ! Amazing songwriting/performances and they look cool, what's not to like?
    Fav Track: How Can I Love Her More?
