A lot of music is released in a calendar year these days. It's a challenge to keep up. I did my best to stay on top of the best indie rock of 2018, and this week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played two hours of songs that really kicked butt. There was so much good stuff that I've got another two hours coming next week. Even the grumpiest among us can find something to enjoy.
