Year End Lists: 2011
The Black Keys - El Camino
Ben Chronister | BSR Music
It is, in many ways, a shame that our year-end top 10 lists were due in to be processed before El Camino was released. The new album by the Black Keys, which officially drops on Tuesday, Dec. 6th, is easily the best rock album of the year.
City and Colour - "Little Hell"
Erik Shear | BSR Music
City and Colour's newest release Little Hell is a great listen for any acoustic and folk fans. City and Colour, side project created by Alexisonfire's guitarist Dallas Green, has claimed the number seven spot on the indie charts in the U.S., and the number one spot in Canada with this colourful new album.
Wolves Like Us - Late Love
Ben Chronister | BSR Music
Wolves Like Us is a grungy, post-hardcore outfit from Oslo, Norway. This album was released September 13, but hasn’t picked up nearly enough steam compared to its quality.
Doomtree - No Kings
Ben Chronister | BSR Music
Doomtree is a hip-hop label out of Minneapolis, and right now they are chewing up all the scenery. No Kings is a collaboration effort combining the talents of their whole roster. P.O.S., Sims, Dessa, Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan, Lazerbeak and Papertiger all roll together into a heady mix of hard-edged poetry set to some of the most inventive, head-banging beats this side of Enter the Wu, or your average DJ Shadow album. This album is a monster, owning your brain from the first moment it shows up, and keeping you hostage until the last track finishes.
Harrison Hudson
Amber Wade | BSR Music
Three years in the making, Harrison Hudson's new album American Thunder hit stores earlier this month.

Hive Robbers - Self-titled
Eric Schneider | BSR Music
The term “indie-folk” has been thrown around a lot in the past few years, with bands like Fleet Foxes, Noah and the Whale and countless others taking on the title. So, when a local band comes along to release an album which is independently produced and has strong folk roots, how else could we pigeonhole it?
But here's the great thing about Hive Robbers and their self-titled album: You'd be hard-pressed to label them “indie-folk” because they are so much more.
