The '021 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2021 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

It’s that time of year again. The time where I assume you care as little about year-end best-of lists as I do. I don’t know about you, but I usually glance at them with a vague sense of disagreement before maybe complaining... then completely forgetting about them. Besides, who actually enjoys ranking art? So as is now tradition, that's where The 3am Awards come in. In lieu of a “best of” list, I give you the award show you may not have even known you were waiting for:

The '021 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations
Awarded for Outstanding Musical Musicianship in the Field of Music

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 silly, these are legitimately some of my favourites of the year. Where possible, all artist links are to their bandcamp pages or direct websites, where you can/should go listen to and purchase these songs & albums!

So without further ado, and in no particular order, click through to find out the winners!

The '020 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2020 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

Well… we’ve been kind of silent here for the last few months, being a blog that focuses on live music and all. But you know I couldn’t let the year end without one certain tradition. By now you might know the deal. I don’t really think anyone really cares about year-end best-of lists anymore. Because first of all, you glance at them with a vague sense of disagreement before maybe complaining about it... then completely forgetting about it. And second off, it’s impossible to rank art. And that's where The 3am Awards come in. In lieu of a list, I give you the award show you may not have known you've been waiting for:

The '019 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2019 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

By now you might know the deal. I don’t really think anyone actually cares about year-end best-of lists anymore. At best, you glance at them with a vague sense of disagreement before maybe complaining about it... then completely forgetting about it. And that's where The Doomy Awards come in. In lieu of a list, I give you the award show [you may not have known] you've been waiting for:
