For the alt rock, punk rock and indie music I write about, 2025 was a great year - and the strongest one in a while, as far as I’m concerned.
I found new bands, reconnected with old ones, continued my 30+ love affair with Bob Mould and changed my mind about AFI's latest.
These were my favourite albums:

Putting The Shaming Pumpkins on a "Happy 90s Alt Rock" playlist I'm listening to feels wrong even if they had one or two bittersweet to borderline happy songs up their sleeves.

Was just thinking it is funny that I read a full biography of Guided by Voices when I was a teenager during their hiatus, and now they have released SO MANY more albums that they'd have to write an entire second book to cover them all.

Wanted to make a list of my favorite EPs from 2025- narrowed it down to a top 10, from over 200 I'd liked and documented this year. The list contains multiple genres & I've written a brief blurb about each. Most of these I've talked about here this year. Might be something here for everyone!
Mood Bored - Too Much? (shoegaze/alt rock from the Netherlands with great female vocals - Breeders, Pixies, that dog, Throwing Muses vibes)
https://moodboredband.bandcamp.com/album/too-much
Top Dollar - Objects of Misfortune (well produced, tight hardcore punk from New York- Jerry's Kids meets Floorpunch, or MDC, even - killer drums)
https://11pmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/objects-of-misfortune
Sectarian Defacement - Chaotic Demiurge (tight, catchy brutal deathgrind from Kyiv, Ukraine)
https://sectariandefacement.bandcamp.com/album/chaotic-demiurge
Trompeta - Fastfood (bizarre, synthy, Krautrock-tinged, spacey, surreal, Throbbing Gristle-esque electronica with sparse vocals, from Benicarló, Spain)
https://trompetatrompeta.bandcamp.com/album/fastfood
Spy - Seen Enough (ripping, raw, rough, unforgettable California punk - loud, feedbacky, intense)
https://spyhc.bandcamp.com/album/seen-enough
Bullfinch - Louse (riffy, catchy, groovy unique sludge from Glasgow)
https://bullfinchsludge.bandcamp.com/album/louse
Putrid Requiem - Engulfed in Rot... You Lay (cavernous, crusty, grody debut from Saint Petersburg, Russia band- maybe my #1 favorite metal EP of 2025)
https://putridrequiem.bandcamp.com/album/engulfed-in-rot-you-lay
Dripped - Utopia of Euphoric Envisionment (brutal death from Perth, Australia- Dripped had one of my favorite LPs in 2023, and are one of my favorite metal bands - so consistent) https://dripped.bandcamp.com/album/utopia-of-euphoric-envisionment
Cytophagia - Spewed from Festering Sludge (3 brief songs of great riffy, dynamic goregrind from Slovakia)
https://calvos73records.bandcamp.com/album/spewed-from-festering-sludge
Brain Matter - Divine Opulence (dynamic, ripping, chugging death with some doom from Fort Worth, Texas, via Iron Corpse)
https://ironfortressrecords.bandcamp.com/album/divine-opulence
