top 43 punk albums 2018: the essential guide to the best punk music of the year

Are you a profound follower of punk music?

2018 was a prolific year for new albums across the punk rock spectrum, and we have selected the top 43to help you find both the innovative and original artists making great music today.

From the author of the Amazon best-selling book 'Anarcho Punk Albums: The Band's Story Behind Anarchist Punk Music' and the founder of award-winning website Punk Online, Gary Miller has collated almost fifty entries of brilliant LPs to make your ears water.

And at painstaking lengths, he has tracked down every band featured, and they have all contributed their own unique stories behind the making of the albums.

From the continued rage against modern society to heartfelt personal circumstances surrounding the writing of the music and the lyrics. This book is a warts and all journey behind the scenes that we would never otherwise hear.

Exploring the globe, from the UK to the US and from darkest Scandinavia, across Europe to Australia. Featuring punk stalwarts such as Rubella Ballet, The Men They Couldn't Hang, Mekons 77 and Wonk Unit to relative newcomers The Lovely Eggs, Disturbance, Interrobang and System of Hate.

Why a Top 43? Well, put simply, it's because that's how many we liked. A Top 40 or 50 would have rounded things off nicely, but we have selected, in our opinion, the best.

Anyhow, it's a bit more Punk Rock doing it this way!

A truly fascinating read for any devotee of the alternative music scene.
