Kerrang! Awards nominations announced
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 5 May 2011
The nominations for this year’s Kerrang! Awards, which will also mark the 30th anniversary of the magazine’s initial publication as a pull-out supplement of Sounds, have been announced.
Leading the pack this year are My Chemical Romance, with five nods. The band sang the following statement to us in beautiful four part barbershop-style harmony: “The UK has always been one of our favourite places to play as band, and we are so grateful for these nominations and the continued support from Kerrang!, it’s readers and our fans. Thank you for the recognition and we hope to see you this summer”.
Kerrang!’s Deputy Editor Daniel J Lane then barked while accompanying himself on the spoons: “The competition is really hotting up! It’s been an amazing year for our music and it’s really exciting to see such a diverse range of bands nominated for this year’s K! Awards. I personally love the fact that our very own home-grown heroes Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon and The Blackout are going head-to-head with US heavyweights like My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds To Mars and Avenged Sevenfold. But, as ever, it’s up to the Kerrang! readers to decide who gets to walk away with one of our coveted K! trophies on the night”.
The ceremony will take place on 9 Jun in London. This year’s winner of the Kerrang! Legend Award, Oswold Osbourne, will also headline a special 30th anniversary show at the Hammersmith Apollo on 21 Jun.
