You might have twigged there were one or two distractions in the back end latter half of last year. Catch up on all that right here in Somethin’ Blue. But as promised and almost as faithful as always… here’s a tight fist of all that got missed.

So right here’s the best of 900+ submissions that filled up my inbox since August. From punk through to ‘tronica, glitch through to grunge, from sweet pop and sugared American roots right through to dirt-laden trash. Soak up every sonic and sound. There’s a ’22 Best Of on way.
