The '020 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2020 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

Well… we’ve been kind of silent here for the last few months, being a blog that focuses on live music and all. But you know I couldn’t let the year end without one certain tradition. By now you might know the deal. I don’t really think anyone really cares about year-end best-of lists anymore. Because first of all, you glance at them with a vague sense of disagreement before maybe complaining about it... then completely forgetting about it. And second off, it’s impossible to rank art. And that's where The 3am Awards come in. In lieu of a list, I give you the award show you may not have known you've been waiting for:

The '020 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations
Awarded for Outstanding Musical Musicianship in the Field of Music

These awards take a look at this year in music and honours the deserving songs, albums, and artists in the form of goofy award categories, as chosen by me (Kirk). And even though the awards may be a little glib or goofy — to say the least — these are legitimately some of my favourites of the year. Where possible, all artist links are to their bandcamp pages, where you can/should go listen to and purchase these songs & albums.

So without further ado, and in no particular order, click through for the results!
