The Indie Room’s Top 20 Songs of the Year

Well, this is it! 2019 is upon us and it’s fair to say that 2018 went by like it didn’t even exist, such was the pace of the year. It’s been a crazy year for indie music. It’s been the break out year for many a band, but for others it’s signalled the end, and we’ve lost quite a few bands who’ve called time along the way. We’ve had major label signings and line-up changes, but if one thing’s for sure, it’s that the year has produced some killer tunes (and albums) that hint that 2019 may have a lot in store for us. Here’s our pick of the bunch.

Disclaimer: Despite The Indie Room’s fervent desire to champion undiscovered music, we’ve unfortunately, as a one man team, not been able to listen to every song released in 2018. But we’ve tried our best!

Start of the Weekend: Hippo Campus, The Pale White and Easy Life are top picks

For most people, Christmas Eve is the one day of the year where normal adult behaviour is put on hold and traditional childhood excitement is acceptable amongst people over the age of eighteen.

Today’s no exception. With multiple long play releases and new singles for big and small bands a like, here’s your pick of the best tracks that hit the shelves today.
