The guys that write album reviews for the bbc/music website have put together a list of their favourite 25 albums of the year. It’s a damn good list. We’ve played tracks from 13 of the top 25 on Nick’s show over the past year. Plus this week we have Iceage who made album No.10 on the show on Tuesday night Fresh Off Stage from a gig in London. Here’s what they say about the album ‘New Brigade’…

One easy comparison is the very earliest Idlewild material, although Iceage’s pop instincts remain more deeply buried. At least, until You’re Blessed - a climatic, romantic hardcore racer that finds frontman Rønnenfelt defiant, taking heart from the expression of his own vulnerabilities. It’s a stirring end, and caps off a record that’s easily as good as any punk release you’ll hear in 2011.
