Top 15 punk releases of 2023:
Starfighter's picks

AI generated image of a messy 90's desk with a hifi system. There's cassette tapes and beer scattered around and a pair of headphones lays in front.

It's time for my new years tradition: making a list of my favorite punk releases during the past year! The rules I've made for myself this year are:

1. No band repeats.
2. No splits.

Let's go!
