For anyone who doubts that there’s a surplus of good music in Beantown,
spend an hour listening to Locally Amped’s Best of Boston 2012 and you’ll soon
be surprised.

From the Ethiopian world pop of Debo Band to the
folk pop of Kingsley Flood and the discofunk of SPF5000, the streets of Somerville, Allston,
Cambridge and nearby are alive with music day in and day out. Listen
below, and check out one of these local acts live. You never know who
will become the next Passion Pit.

Also, Locally Amped is now on Twitter so be sure to follow @LocallyAmped. Happy 2013!

Note: There are
definitely many Boston area musicians who don’t have their music on
Spotify. Locally Amped wants to note that “Everything is Syncopated” by
Streight Angular and “All the Bros” by ABADABAD also made the list.
