I just watched the Channel 4 show with all the nominations. Some good entries this year and a lot i've not heard of and the first in a few years where i only own 3 of the albums.
I'm really impressed by Kate Tempest, i've not heard of her before and it wasn't what i was expecting but i really liked the song she performed.
I still think I prefer this to be for the more up and coming artists to give them a stage to get their name out there so I dislike the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club being included (or it may just be I don’t rate their new album as much as some of their other stuff). Although I’ll contradict myself by saying I’m happy Damon Albarn is in there, although he’s doing something new so I think that makes him an exception!
If I’m honest I think Royal Blood will probably pick up the prize, they've got such momentum at the moment which a huge following.
What’re your thoughts, any hidden gems which need exploring further?
