Welp, say goodbye to 2012. With new albums from NOFX, Pennywise, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, Offspring and not one, but three new full-lengths from Green Day, there was no shortage of high profile releases last year. But which ones flopped? Which ones exceeded expectations? And which ones came out of nowhere to take us all by surprise? It’s a subjective question, we know, but for anybody who cares here is a list of The Best Punk Releases of 2012 as chosen by the writers here at Dying Scene.
