WXDU’s Top 65 NC Releases of 2014

rossgrady:

Based on airplay by all of our DJs during the 2-month period each album was on playlist. I’m pretty sure I’ve never had the same band back-to-back in the top 5 before.

1 – John Howie Jr & the Rosewood Bluff – Everything Except Goodbye
2 – T0W3RS – TL;DR
3 – See Gulls – 2 Songs
4 – Hiss Golden…

Hint 1: At least two bands on this list will be performing at WKNC’s #DBBDozen on Feb. 7 and 14. Hint 2: At least one of those bands is Spider Bags. #DBBRumors
