Walter Price’s 2014 Picks

“It is time to make changes happen. Artists and their friends the indie and for the artists labels have never had better chances than now.” – Walter Price

By Walter Price

Is it really time to compile my thoughts on the best of the best of the year.

2014 was a year that saw a big move in my listening habits back into the indie, garage and singer-songwriter genres. For good reasons. The artists in these sonic fields were badass this past year.

All in all, 2014 was a hell of a ride, a true blast. I have met, chatted and dug into some killer new artists and sounds from around our sphere..I truly enjoyed discovering these sounds. Thank You to those making music and Thank You to those who support it.
