My album of the year for 2015 is Family Isn't Always Blood by Stoke On Trent punk heroes Wolf Bites Boy. When I was thinking who I could ask for end of year lists they were my number one choice so I'm delighted they were more than happy to oblige. Their 2015 top 10 is a joint effort and it's everything I hoped it'd be. If you haven't heard them yet I'd highly recommend that you check 'em out....

Thanks guys.........
"So here it is, Wolf Bites Boy’s top tracks of 2015.
The following are not listed in an order as favourite but the number 1
track is definitely a band favourite."
10) Agnostic front – Never walk alone
a band that knows how to kick ass. Love the simplicity of the intro, and
I'm a sucker for the sentiment behind the song. Sing it loud. Great stuff
9) Wonk unit – Je m’appelle Alex
Love these crazy guys, just doing what the hell they want and having
loads of fun doing it.
8) Vanilla Pod – She’s dead now
First new music in years for these guys and one of my favourite live
bands.
7) System 81 – Contre vents et marees
some great music gets lost because it’s not sung in English, but the
scene in France, Spain, Germany in fact all over Europe is amazing, well
worth putting the effort in.
6) Discharge – New world order
these guys are from our home town so we grew up seeing them, they
have had a few problems over the years but have really returned to form,
the new stuff is just BANG>what the hell was that.
5) Rude pride – Crisis sons
discovered these guys from YouTube. Which is always a good place to
find new music. This band don't mind slowing things down a bit. It's a
great tune, some great guitar work and bass lines. I was really impressed
when I first heard them. Quality
4) Seaside Rebels – Abandon ship
Great track by this top new band, one on my wish list to see live in the
next year as the whole album kicks ass.
3) Lions law – Skinhead
love the rock n roll guitar riff in this and the bass playing later in the song,
his style is very similar to Matt freeman of Rancid. Pure class
2) Gimp fist – Better that way
what can i say, a massive influence on us, a band doing it the right way
(hopefully the same way we will do it) family and friends first, do your own
thing and eventually the world will get it.
1) Old Firm Casuals - Perry Boys
A firm favourite with the whole band this track is great nice punchy verse
into an anthemic singalong chorus, love the Hammond to bring out the
sound of the track.
This town is covered up in smoke
Tower blocks reach right out to choke
In the city never any hope
Dismal scene when you're fucking broke
Our scars will tell you everywhere we've been
Oh no, you won't forget about us
Our scars will be with us until the very end
Oh no, oh yeah!
Perry boys, here we stand or here we fall [x2]
On the terrace where you earned your soul
In the end where you gain control
Win the battle is the only goal
Football, drugs, violence, rock 'n' roll
Our scars will tell you everywhere we've been
Oh no, you won't forget about us
Our scars will be with us until the very end
Oh no, oh yeah!
Perry boys, here we stand or here we fall
