Aprovechen este, pués. ¡Y bailen! Destacamos la inclusión de nuestras favoritas del año ( Guards , Japandroids , FIDLAR ), algunas que pusimos en otros espacios ( Haim [...]

So 2012 was pretty rad. But 2013, as ever, is going to be better. So to celebrate that fact we've selected some bands we think are going to smash it in the New Year.
