BEST OF 2023 – Dave Wilks (Writer) 🇺🇲 Rock is far from dead and 2023 proves it. It was an especially great year for albums from New Wave of Traditional Heavy, legacy, and blues rock bands. I listened to a ton of albums this year, and narrowing it down to 10 was a difficult task….

Secrets of the Cosmos is a pleasantly weird soundscape of…
