Lots of bands I have not heard of on here but that's a good thing. It warms my heart to see this genre still going strong. I've been out of the loop for too long, thanks a bunch WPRD and the community for introducing me to all these great artists and of course to the artists themselves for your incredible music. 💜💜

Tuned in and thought there’s no way hubris doesn’t take the top prize here for The One Above - glad to see them get the well deserved recognition
