20 brilliant albums of 2013: albums we already love from this year
The Neighbourhood, Peace, C2C and more
- Iceage - You're Nothing: Iceage are surrounded by controversy, but don't allow that to detract from the music. Iceage do pop-punk like it should be done - with a bit of pop, and a whole lot of punk. While there are nods to their hardcore origins, most of You're Nothing is noisy and defiant, without sacrificing catchy hooks and powerful energy in order to do so. The simmering anger that underlies all the songs creates an excellent tension and You're Nothing sees Iceage taking their 70s punk heritage - and improving on it.
