1. Against Me – Shape Shift With Me
I didn’t think they could top 2014’s Transgender Dysphoria Blues (one of my favorite albums of all time) but this album hit me like nothing else has this year. Laura Jane Grace’s voice offers validation and reassurance for so many who never hear or see their experiences represented in music – and that’s incredibly empowering. Brave and uplifting, but painfully cathartic at times, the album is a burst of life that discusses trivial everyday things like love and relationships but from a refreshing new perspective. I can’t stress the importance of this release enough – it’s thought-provoking and a must hear.
2. Petrol Girls – Talk of Violence
