Welcome to the year end countdown for WildWorks. As usual, myself and Lauren counted down the top 50 Canadian indie music for 2013.
Again for this year, there’s no repeats from a band and musician on the list.
Parts 1 and 2 were posted on the blog while part 3 aired at CKCU-FM on December 30, 2013.
The Top 10 Non-Canadian Indie Music of 2013 was aired at CKCU-FM on January 6, 2014.
Hope you enjoy the list and the audio. The playlist is posted below.
