For me, 2010 was one of the best years of my entire life. So many great events occurred in 2010, but none as important as marrying my love Abby. The music was great too.

Not sure why these two bands merged in my mind - musically they don't have a great deal in common, apart from being filed in the 'indie' or 'alternative rock' section. I suppose what they do have in common is that they're both relentlessly uncompromising. And ridiculously productive. And, above all, they are both brilliant and deserve a few more listeners.
