#66 Speedy Ortiz - "American Horror"

Speedy Ortiz hails from Northampton, MA which is pretty cool if you are an indie rock fan since that is the hometown of Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. Perhaps then it is not a coincidence that while they do not copy SY, they do have a 90s alternative punk feel to them, even with Sadie Dupuis soft voice.

"American Horror" comes off of their 2nd full length release "Major Arcana" (which actually came out in 2013. The band also notably released an EP called "Taylor Swift" in 2011. That will be the closest she gets to my Top 100.  sorry.

Not only did "American Horror" make my Top 100, SPIN Magazine ranked it number 79 of the year and it ranked number 24 on Consequence of Sound's Top 50 of 2014, which you can see here: Top 50 Songs of 2014
