12 Best Albums of 2012, So Far

With summer in full swing, I thought it was about time to release a list of my 12 favorite albums, so far, from 2012. With all of these albums, my main consideration for choosing they’re placing on this list was based off of the bands and artists live performance of the album. You can catch all these bands and artists this summer at festivals across the country. Check the links to find where these bands will be playing near you.
