The Punk Site 2023 Top 40: #21 – 40

Traditionally The Punk Site delivers a countdown of our Top 20 favourite releases at the end of each year, however, we thought we might as well expand things to a Top 40 this year as we had a bumper crop of over eighty releases nominated by our writers and photographers. This post highlights the range of acts that were nominated and ensures everyone’s favourite from 2023 gets a mention, as we’re nice like that! The Punk Site‘s Top 20 starts tomorrow with one post a day right up to New Years Eve when we reveal our favourite album from 2023, just as the year is about to come to an end. So without further ado, here is the first installment of The Punk Site 2023 Top 40.
