1: Burning Codes - Burning Codes 2
Northern Ireland Indie band Burning Codes released the album of the year. It's full of indie pop tunes which make me want to sing, nod my head and put a smile on my face. It's a complete album where every song seems to fit together seamlessly. The writing is inspiration and some of the gospel-esque melodies are simply superb.

9: Resurrection Ferm - Transend Mortality
"The better songs on the album are those uplifting tracks like 'Hummingbird Hearts' 'Wall' and the opener 'Something Unlike Love'. I particularly love the refraining lyrics at the end of 'Brothers' and at the outro to 'Stay in the Sun'." Full review here!
10: Fia Rua - Falling Time
"Eoghan sings with such great conviction. When he encourages us to 'Walk Away' in the song of the same name I'm there with him. When he sings 'I crave more magic in my life' it brings to mind The Frames 'Pavement Tune' when Glen belts out 'I want my life to make more sense'." Full Review here!
