Reviler Best Local Songs of 2010
We believe pretty strongly that our live music scene here in the Twin Cities is one of the best, if not the best, in the country. Virtually any night of the week you can check out great local bands and the excellent labels run from our city churn out great new music on what seems like a weekly basis. Below are Reviler writers ten favorite songs from local bands from the last year.
