Awards
Kerrang! noms announced
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 3 May 2012
Kerrang! has announced the nominees for its annual awards. You Me At Six lead the pack with five nominations, including two for Best Single, plus a Best British Band nom for the fourth year in a row. What fun.
The band’s frontman Josh Fransceschi said: “To be up for Best British Band four years in a row is just insane. Plus the people at the awards are going to think there’s a problem with the slide show when our two songs come up in a row [for best single]!”
Kerrang! editor James McMahon added: “The Kerrang! Awards remains the most important date on any rock star’s calendar. What’s most exciting about this year’s nominations is how strong the new bands categories are. Of course, you could have said the same thing when You Me At Six were included in said categories a few years ago, and look where they are now. Much is made of how fun and debauched the Kerrang! Awards are. I prefer to see them as proof of how strong the rock scene is”.
