Nice, we’ve even got all of the links right there! Okay this is where we need your help listing off any that we are missing. Let’s say a release includes a grouping of two or more original songs by a local Springfield band or artist – we’ll include nearby cities such as Jacksonville, Taylorville, or Decatur. If you know of any, comment below, or email us at dumbrecs@gmail.com! We are going to kick off our poll as early as five days from now or something, and publish results at the end of the month / beginning of next month. Oh! And we are also teaming up with Activator Magazine once again for this feature to be in their January of 2020 issue!

Our end of the year poll usually includes the best shows, songs, and albums from local bands or artists for the year. We will likely do this format again, featuring the top 10 picks from each category.
