The Counterforce 2024 Top Ten roundup
It's the first end-of-a-year for The Counterforce (although only our 8th month anniversary), so this is our first time doing Top Tens. We've got a lovely selection from many of our regularly contributors as well as some first timers:
- New contributor Biff Bifaro gives us a look back at Ten punk experiences from 2024
- Hobbes brings us a ten notable shows pulled from context and rated by Environmental Absurdity
- Crimethinc sneaks down our chimney to deliver our holiday watch list: Ten Punk Movies We Watched in 2024
- We have loving reviews of the Top Ten Sets of the year from both past contributor Corn and new contributor Beléne
- Taylor Joy, Nab, Boris (TOTAL NADA/Noise Not Borders), and Tay (TAZ) all give us extended lists with reviews and commentary
- And of course some classic concise and straight to the point lists from Slim, Greg The Builder, Misery, Ghas (A World Divided), VanisleJay, Ralph Rivera (THINK! Fanzine) and Ava (PORTAL TOMB) found in 2024 Top Tens (All The Rest)
Many bands on these Top Ten lists appeared in the pages of The Counterforce this year: PORTAL TOMB, STRAW MAN ARMY, INDUSTRY, LOVE AND COMPASSION, NO FUTURE, BEYOND STATE POWER, and many more!
