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 ‘024 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, 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, these are legitimately some of my favourites of the year. The only eligibility criteria is albums or EPs released in the year 2024 (sorry, singles). 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 their albums!

So without further ado, and in no particular order, click through to see the awards!
