***TARQUIN's Best Of 2019***

TARQUIN's BEST OF 2019

After the demise of my blog, I fell out of touch with a few genres during the course of the year. Around the June/July period with the emergence and subsequent rise of Myspace era focussed label 'Wax Vessel', my interest in older and modern noise / chaotic leaning music peaked again. I've always had a passion for this type of abrasive and off-kilter style and it's great seeing newer bands carrying the torch onwards.

In keeping with this 'noise' theme, here are my top picks for 2019. Please enjoy...
