Hello Noizemakers,
As usual, we took our own sweet time to deliver this new roundup of the best noize we heard last autumn. Who cares? The music is good and sooner or later it needs to be pushed into your speakers, headphones or (if you really have to) earbuds. We have already revealed our favourite track of the season in our recent graphic review premiere, but the rest of the music is pretty awesome too.
So without further ado, on with the show!

Just know that we're very busy, listening to shit... so you don't have to.
Respect,
Noizemeister
