–. -7 Storm The Shore - 78 - hardcore

25. -8 Kojote - 75 - indie

I like, that there are 6 newcomers in the list. 4 of them even reached some decent positions in or near the Top 10. Best newcomer is Omega Massif, who got that high because of their three records Kalt, Geisterstadt and Karpatia. All of them are great, especially the new Karpatia. The Hirsch Effekt came in because of their debut Holon : Hiberno, which was published last year.

Top 10 of the last 12 months:

1. Long Distance Calling 178
2. Omega Massif 172
3. The Hirsch Effekt 145
4. Sport 123
5. Tocotronic 112
6. Get Well Soon 105
7. Ken 78
8. Juvenalis 76
9. The Ocean 70
10. Wir Sind Helden 64

The last year I listened to german artists way more than in the last period i evaluated.
