2020 : THE YEAR IN HARD'N'HEAVY - In 40 Minutes

Welcome back to our series where we curate what we think are the best 40 minutes of music from an underrated band's career ... with headbangers and hard rockers in mind (ie. you won't be hearing many ballads!). Basically, it's what we'd put on a single vinyl release (being limited to 20 minutes per side) if we were asked to put a Best Of record together to convince the uninitiated long haired miscreant that this band is worth checking out. This episode we continue curating the best tracks of 2020, this time in the Hard'N'Heavy stream (ie. trad metal, hard rock, punk, rock'n'roll, etc.). The stuff that doesn't fit on our other three categories - extreme metal, doom and hardcore punk. Raise your horns!!!
