The 2023 Lemon Awards
Welcome/welcome back to the blog! I intended to post this a lot sooner, but life has been a bit chaotic, and last year’s lack of blog content was proof of that.
Due to my lack of existence on the blog, I will be featuring releases that I never got round to reviewing, so let’s quit the rambling and get into this!
I will say, that best live act will be skipping this year’s Lemon Awards due to the fact that I think I went to maybe 2 gigs in 2023, but maybe 2024 will be better?
