The NME awards are back again. Last year, we saw Arctic Monkeys dominating the nominations however, after Kasabian’s album 48:13 they are overshadowing this years awards with eight nominations.
Nominated for the top award ‘Best British band’ include: Alt J, previous winners Arctic Monkeys, Chvrches, Kasabian, upcoming rock band Royal Blood and lastly The Libertines who reunited in 2014. The other big award is for best album. The nominations for this include: Jamie T—Carry On The Grudge, Kasabian—48:13, La Roux—Trouble In Paradise, Royal Blood—Royal Blood, Run Jewels—Run The Jewels 2 and St Vincent—St Vincent.
Out of all the nominations I believe ’The Best Live Band’ will be hardest to predict who will win as they’ve all proved their worthy of winning this award.
The nominations are: Arctic Monkeys, Fat White Family, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Royal Blood and The Libertines. The NME awards should be the most interesting, exciting and captivating yet. With comeback artists like The Libertines back in the nominations to fantastic new bands like Royal Blood.
