While I haven’t revealed by Favorite Albums of 2012 list yet, I’ll let it slip that Hospitality‘s eponymous debut album is pretty high up there. If you’ve yet to hear it’s many guitar pop pleasures, you can stream it below. Wondering what the band have listened to the most in 2012? They’ve offered up their Top 10 of 2012 which you can peruse below. It’s actually nine new albums and then the last slot goes to Led Zeppelin which singer Amber Papini admits she’s been gorging on ever since Hurricane Sandy.

Sandy caused the band’s headlining show at Bowery Ballroom to be postponed and the make-up date is right around the corner on January 10 with TEEN and Household. Tickets are still available and we’re also giving away a pair.

Meanwhile, Hospitality next show after that will be as part of the Kidrockers series at Brooklyn Bowl, happening Sunday, February 10 at 11 AM. Tickets are $8 and on sale now — kids 2 and under get in free. It’s all ages on Sundays at Brooklyn Bowl till 6PM when it becomes 21+ like the rest of the week.

Kidrockers have announced a few other 2013 shows as well: Caveman (who just announced a big tour, including Webster Hall on 4/10) play on January 27 (tix); and Hooray for Earth play on February 3 (tix, they also play Knitting Factory next month). There is also the previously-announced DIIV show on January 13 (they play an “adult” show at BB that same night).

Hospitality’s list of Top 10 LPs of 2012 is below.
