Ryan (Think Fast! Records)
What are your top five albums that were released in 2010? (In order 1-5)
- Comeback Kid "Symptoms + Cures"
- The Menzingers "Chamberlain Waits"
- Kills And Thrills "Liars"
- This Is Hell "Weight Of The World"
- Jimmy Eat World "Invented"
What band did you discover in 2010 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
Kill And Thrillls and Aficionado. They've both been around for a few years but I just caught them this year and they blew me away. They're each doing something a little bit different than the norm, but it's totally catchy and appealing. I'm excited to see where both bands go in 2011.
How will you remember 2010? (In terms of music)
Vinyl and digital continuing to rise and CDs going further out the door.
With more and more bands switching to digital methods of releasing music and communicating with audiences in 2010, do you think there's still a place for physical CDs and word-of-mouth shows in the future?
CDs will be around for a few more years for sure, but you can't deny they're becoming less relevant as time passes.
What can we look forward to from you in 2011?
Think Fast! will have new records from Mountain Man, Bullet Treatment, Reignition, a 10-year anniversary compilation, and some others that aren't quite ready to be announced!
What three records are you looking forward to most in 2011?
Not including records we're putting out - new albums from Rise Against, Aficianado, and crossing my fingers for a new Descendents record.
