Craig Beaton, legendary figure of the Scottish indie music scene and his musical partner Graeme Smillie announced a final musical statement as A Mote Of Dust before the man quite possibly stops music alltogether. We owed it to him, that in this (possibly) last interview he got all the room he needed to explain himself. It became quite an extensive one: Honest to the bone, furious, warm and smart. Just like Craig Beaton's music...

A musical outlet for those times when you just need to get a bit louder. Including music by IDLES, Shame, Ho99o9, METZ, Amly And The Sniffers, Deafheaven, HEALTH, The Soft Moon, Death Grips, Bully, Iceage and many more.

Another year full of releases has passed and at the end of it it's time to recap the best of them like we always do when then the year is about to close its curtain. So, without further ado please find the fifty albums that impressed us the most during the past 12 months right here and feel happily invited to fall in love with them as well.

It's that special time of the year again, girls and boys. We're recapping the best music of the past twelve months, starting today with the fifty most wonderful songs that happen to make it through our air waves in 2018. Needless to say you need to listen to those before the year is over.

Friday is release day. But what to listen to from the sheer endless sea of new records? Don't worry, NBHAP's editors can help you with that. These are our Top 5 recommendations.

Far away from the Kendrick Lamars and Father John Mistys of this year, there are countless other smaller releases that often don't get the credit they deserve. The staff of NBHAP compiled some of the finest ones in 2017.
