In 2014, discovering new music proved to be a little bit more challenging than in previous years. When I was living in Seattle, there was never a shortage of shows, concerts, and music festivals. I suppose the same can be said for in San Francisco too, but what’s harder is finding the time. This year, for new music I relied heavily on blogs and my brother’s various Spotify playlists. With that said, we’re still pretty confident that the 60 songs we selected were awesome in 2014 and here’s our list for you.
