The ‘025 Doomy Awards Presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2025 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

It’s the end of the year, and you know what that means! That’s right, it’s the time when I give a pithy explanation about not liking making lists or ranking art, in order to justify the annual tradition of the award show you were waiting for (whether you knew it or not).

The ‘025 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

Awarded for Outstanding Musical Musicianship
in the Field of Music

As always, these awards take a look at this year in music and honour the deserving songs, videos, albums, and artists in the form of goofy award categories, as chosen by me (Kirk). And even though some awards may be a little obtuse (silly), these are legitimately some of my favourites of the year. The arbitrary eligibility criteria is albums or EPs released in the year 2025 (sorry, singles, maybe next year). Below will be a playlist with all the songs, but where possible I’ve also linked to the artist’s website or bandcamp, where you can/should pick up these albums!

So without further ado, click through for the full awards!

The '024 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2024 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

It’s the end of the year, and you know what that means; the time when I get on my soapbox about how much I don’t care for lists! And at the top of the list of lists I don’t like? It’s Year End Lists. Often times when these lists come around, you’ll just glance at them, maybe agree, disagree, or complain... then completely forget about everything and go about your day. Besides, who actually enjoys ranking art? So as is now tradition, that's where The Doomy Awards come in. In lieu of a “best of” list, I give you the award show you were waiting for (whether you knew it or not).

The '023 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2023 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

It’s that time of year again! The time when I get on my high horse about how much I don’t like lists. And at the top of the list of lists I don’t like? It’s Year End Lists. Often times when these lists come around, you’ll just glance at them, maybe agree, maybe disagree, maybe complain... then completely forget about them and go about your day.

And even though some awards may be a little goofy, these are legitimately some of my favourite songs and albums of the year. The only eligibility criteria is they had to be on an album released this year (sorry, singles).
Whenever possible, all artist links are to places where you can (and should) go to listen to and purchase these songs & albums!
