The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2015/2016

Happily ensconced in the obscure, with a barely active music blog and a taste for the alternative, the Bawley crew's past suddenly caught up with them.

In 2015 they were sentenced to spend a year in a minimum-security prison, punished for their 10 year old association with a known pan pipe player. Forced to trade headphones for handcuffs, soundcloud for shared showers, and band t-shirts for boiler-suits.

The Bawley crew made their way through the corrections system and adjusted to life behind bars, marking time with a list of the 100 best songs of 2015.

In 2015 Orange is the new Bawley.
