Those of you that know anything about me know that music is my life! Before getting so sick, you could probably find me up to my knees in mud, singing at the top of my lungs to my favourite band at a festival somewhere. And even when I did get sick, once festival season hit I would be glued to the live coverage rocking my very couch worthy festival chic. Nothing like a flower crown and pj’s.
In fact after we had been together for some time Mr. Lavin openly admitted that the reason he knew I was “The One” was because he heard that I had been crying over the fact that my dad could not get me PearlJam tickets for Christmas. He said he then thought to himself in the words of Alabama to Clarence in True Romance “You’re so cool”.
So it is no surprise that every year I am eager to find the new up and coming bands for the next year. I’m not going to lie Mr. Lavin is as much, if not more of a music nut than I am so we worked together on this list. He really has a great ear for bands that are going to be huge so my favourite thing is to sit down with him on a Friday night with a very large glass of wine and bond over music. If I am on my own I love using my bluetooth earphones Tre from Sudio as the quality of these are by far the best I have experienced all at an affordable price.
So here is my list of 25 songs to listen to in 2018. There are some classics thrown in for good measure so pour yourself a very large glass of wine and get listening. I would love to know what you think or if you think that there is any other song that should have made the list speak now or forever hold your peace. I’ve linked my spotify playlist here for you to listen.

So there you have it. I hope you are not too drunk at this stage and enjoyed listening. I seriously can’t recommend Sudio headphones enough. Not having to worry about those pesky wires has made my life so much easier. Plus noise sensitivity is a huge issue with Lyme disease so I need my sound to be as clean as possible so I love these.

Valuable info. Lucky me I found your website accidentally, and I am shocked why this coincidence didn’t happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
I’m so glad you stumbled on me and really hope you stick around xxx
I am not certain the place you’re getting your information, however great topic. I must spend some time learning much more or working out more. Thank you for wonderful info I was looking for this info for my mission.
Thank you I’m not quite sure what you mean about where I get my info, these are just bands I love and listen too all the time. Hope you enjoyed it. I’m intrigued as to what your misson is!!
Any playlist that features even a single Glass Animals song is a playlist I am ready to get down with! And you have Alt-J too plus The Academic, an Irish band I’ve only recently discovered through a friend. Looking forward to checking out the ones I don’t know!

I would love to hear what you think about the others especially the other Irish artists Talos and Le Boom and of course Aine Cahill who is very Lana del Rey if you ask me. And Glass Animals right!!! Aren’t they so good check out Everything Everything if you like them. I partnered with my husband to come up with this list and he thinks that Sam Fender will be the next big thing and I secretly love the song by Stereohoney that he recommended.
I enjoyed the playlist. Keep it up!
Thank you Corey
