This was a really tough one, some amazing acts have broken out this year. But the winner for us has to be Slaves. With numerous appearances on Radio 1's Live Lounge, a killer debut album and bringing punk back to the public eye and to a younger generation. Not to mention we saw them 3 times! A great year for Slaves, they deserve this one
Debut Album Of The Year
Again another tough choice with Wolf Alice, Kagoule and Jamie XX all producing stunning debuts but this one goes to 'Are You Satisfied' by Slaves. Thoroughly deserved, a wonderful album!
Best Festival Performance Of The Year
This was definitely the toughest decision. Some incredible performances at some amazing festivals but for us it had to be the Foals secret set at Reading Festival. An amazing set, absolutely blew us away (and a tip of the cap to Slaves who had to follow it).
Album Of The Year
Now. The Big One.
In 3rd Place.... 'The Mindsweep' by Enter Shikari. Building on an already awesome discography this album was beautiful, angry music to our ears.
In 2nd Place... 'Favourite Worry' by The Milk. Not one everyone will own, but an incredible album; soulful, interessting, different. Everything you could want in a nice chilled out album.
But the winner, making it 3 out of 4 awards is 'Are You Satisfied' by Slaves. An awesome album, what more can I say!!
