While 2013 is well in our rearview mirrors at this point, it’d be a true shame if we neglected to raise a glass to the fine musical releases of the year. Below you’ll find Allston Pudding’s short list, in no particular order, of some of our favorite local releases.

As Krill so eloquently stated on New Years, “2014 could be the year that you die,” so let’s not forget about what we’ve already got.

We know we’ve missed a bunch, so comment with your favorite releases of 2013 and we’ll be glad to add them to the wrap-up!
