Mid-Year Round-Up – My 10 Favorite Songs of 2011 (so far)

Since it’s officially the midway point of 2011, I decided to list my 10 favorite tracks of the year to date. The only stipulation being only one song per band. I’m sure I forgot some that I would have liked to post here. Additionally, I’m fairly certain there is good stuff floating around out there that I haven’t even heard yet. So, please share your favorites in the comments section. I’m always hunting for great new music, so the more, the better. Also, sorry for my recent lack of posts. I’ve had a lot on my plate, and I’ll just leave it at that.

    from The Big Roar

  2. Crystal Stilts – “Shake The Shackles”

    from In Love With Oblivion.
