It's Friday, y'all! If you're thinking, "I wish Punknews would let the reader's make a Best of 2012 list", you're in luck, because we do! Every year we compile a list determined by the ratings you give the reviewed albums on the site. So if you haven't rated anything yet this year, you should probably do that right after you take a look at the favorites albums of 2012 from Steve Brooks and Andrew Elstner of Torche, Tobias Jeg of Red Scare, and Tom May of The Menzingers. Have a good weekend and we'll bring you more next week.
