Best album. bit early to say,but the Rats Blood lp is kicking my ass

Best single. Probably New Gods 7",but again too early to be sure.

Best irish live act: Outcasts

Best overseas live. Lecherous Gaze or Thisclose/Wankys

Best venue: Not very blessed for venues these days,but Tenterhooks os promising.

Best non punk act. Don't be silly there is no best non punk act.

Best zine. Can't think if I bought any Irish zines this year,but good showing from Artcore(Wales) and Negative Insight(US)

Biggest non event: (not always the case though way too common) advertising of gigs. Heard lots of people say "didn't even know about that gig" And missed a bunch myself.

A.They've gone metal.
