2017 is finally dead. Even though the year was chock full of bullshit, some great fucking music came out. Back on New Year’s Eve, I sat down with the other members of Guardrail after band practice to discuss the music we dug this past year and talk New Years Resolutions. This episode has a fuckton of music, so rock out with me. Also, go support these artists the second you can.
