Joke.

No Exit Ten, No Fightstar, No Funeral For A Friend...

Not the best Nominations..

Oh my god, that is even more shit than I expected... I thought last years sucked enough. No surprises though.

The only band I actually voted for was Machine Head...

Posted by Lizzie B | July 23, 2008 5:47 PM | Reply to this

nope...surprising, i know, considering they had gone top 40 at that point, and you me at six hadn't even released a single...must admit, the relentless touring really paid off, they're an amazing live band and a bunch of really sweet boys, even if their music isn't the greatest.

Posted by Chloe | July 31, 2008 12:39 AM | Reply to this

slightly confused?

Why are MCR up for 'Best International Band' when they havent actually done anything in ages????
Don't get me wrong - I worship MCR and everything but all thats happened with them recently is the whole thing with the Daily Crap.
Does anyone else think that another band should be allowed to have a go???

Another Emo fest. I mean MSI, Dillinger, Machine Head and A7X are NOT emo...but nearlly ALL the bands there are "emo pop".

Emo Pop like Go:Audio should drown, burn and be excreted in fucking HEAVEN!

I Don't like Go:Audio and i don't like most bands that get called emo but your comment is pure idiocricy and technically speaking you can't drown and then burn.
Emo Does Not Exist.

I know, my statement was to proove how stupid emo is - that it is as stupid as "to be drowned and burned".

Fair enough allthough does emo exist because now surely it's just a daft fucking stereotype.

Posted by Wez | July 22, 2008 11:08 PM | Reply to this

Fucks sake

Its complicated isnt it? Its like - yes, it must excist becasue of the whole emo war and emo stereotype, but at the same time, its pretty much the bit between goth a punk and thus non-existant. Moreover, due to EVERYTHING being called emo now - it is hence becoming an insult like "gay" did and thus it is just teenage slang...

You got msn Wez?

don't insult wales. wales is the best place ever!!! mostly due to the accents. and the fact that nearly every good british band comes from there. obviously good british bands come from other places, but there are a rather large amount from there.

What the hell is all this about? Why do people always find a reason to bring "emo" into everything and insult it? Are Dead Swans, We are the Ocean, Slaves to Gravity, A Day to Remember, Four Year Strong, Black Tide, Bring me the Horizon, Bullet for my Valentine, Biffy Clyro, Coheed and Cambria, Avenged Sevenfold, Pendulum, Weezer, Gallows, In Flames, Mindless Self Indulgence, Cancer Bats, Machine Head and the Dillinger Escape Plan any way "emo" bands? Not at all, so get your facts straight people. Oh and MSI are by no means shit, and are finally getting the attention they deserve, even if it is for their new album when their older material is much better. You Me at Six are the shitty ones.

elliot minor

elliont minor are the worse band ever

ive had the misfortunate of seeing them twice and a small piece of me died each time

they can't play live

they sounded awful

if you like this band

you deserve the balls of your feet cut off

the songs have shit lyrics are generally remind me of pig shit

most of the squealing shit-cake fans of this band havent eve reached puberty or seen them live

Posted by tom | July 22, 2008 9:26 PM | Reply to this

elliot minor

nobody's fucking holding a gun to your head to vote for them, why the fuck do you rant about how shit they are live
DONT FUCKING GO AND SEE THEM LIVE IF YOU DONT LIKE THEM!!

i like elliot minor personally, and im not fucking squealing that theyre up as best british newcomers, i couldnt care less, im a fan of them, so yeah, i'll vote, but i'll also fucking vote for other bands too

i have seen elliot minor live and i think theyre awesome, but hey, that just my opinion, theres 6 billion other people in the world who have their opinions too
im not going to tell people to love bands, its purely their choice to listen to them, but you.. going to gigs repeatedly of bands you think are shit, well what do you expect, if you dont like the band theyre bound to be shit to you
just take the hint... and DONT FUCKING GO TO BANDS YOU DONT LIKE!!!

FOR FUCK SAKE!

I think they're better live TBH. they're music is amazing and they play their instruments fucking brilliantly! Go chew.. :S

Posted by Lydiaa | August 3, 2008 7:18 PM | Reply to this

Jeez. It doesn't take a genius to know which bands are going to dominate the voting, as usual...MCR (although I like them, they really do not deserve to be up there this year - they've gone on a break!) and Jared Leto...I mean 30STM. The sad part is that although I really love the 30STM video that is up for voting, because it's visually amazing despite the song, most people will just vote for it because it's 30STM.

Oh well. It's not like this was unexpected.

These and all other awards should be known as Most Popular not Best and then perhaps people could accept that it is opinion rather than talent that wins awards like these.

Issues

YM@6 are shit. Quite frankly they are nothing more than pop for the alleged "emo" (Check mine an Wez' convo haha) generation!

I would much rather BMTH go as Best British Band, Biffy are good, but a bit boring now in my opinion. BMTH have audiable lyrics in a very aggressive but poppy deathcore (yes - I said it was pop like, but in a deathcore sense - sue me)!

As for Best British Newcomer...Dead Swans. NO reason - just like them out of the options.

As I said above - Go:Audio are appauling and Elliot Minor are just McFly with more symphonic elements.

Oh- GALLOWS ARE SELL OUTS

dont complain about the winners of this round - its your own fault
if you voted for the bands you wanted then they would be up there (- the fan girls are to blaim for you me at six and elliot minor :l )

the fans from 30 seconds to mars have got this awesome band into 4 of the 5 catagories that they voted for - thats dedication
and hopefully by voting until our fingers bleed then we can get them all 4 awards :)

Posted by amyy | July 23, 2008 12:04 AM | Reply to this

God..

30 Seconds To Mars dont deserve that many awards - one max. I admit, they are quite good at song writting and they put a lot of emotion out through music. But at the end of it all its just pomp really...

And no, its not *our* fault. I voted Within Temptation for EVERYTHING they could (Best Live, Best International, Best Single etc) and they didnt get in - and I know a LOT of people who voted for them!

Posted by dillinger | July 23, 2008 9:09 AM | Reply to this

What a load of bollocks - this is what happens when you shovel shit into everyone's faces week in week out. Obviously Kerrang's emo fan-boy arse-kissing fan base didn't want to see any repeat of Machine Head's domination at the awards last year, hence why all the MCR fans threw their toys out of the pram last year when Machine Head cleaned house.

They might as well rename these awards the Kerrang Fashion Awards and get Gok Wan to present the whole thing. Honestly, 90% of these bands are style over substance. Kerrang constant featuring of these bands is killing the British rock and metal scene. Evile made a huge impact with their debut album and didn't even get a look in, while Youmeatsix get nominated for doing what exactly?

Martin ... YOU ME AT SIX = BEST BRITISH BAND

The fans have spoken, ya da, ya da...and I suppose this is an accurate representation of the UK's rock fanbase...right. You might argue that these awards are for the fans, by the fans, but at least with the Metal Hammer Awards we get a list of nominees given and vote accordingly - its much more representative of actual achievement. What have Youmeatsix, Dead Swans or We Are The Ocean done? NOTHING!

The fact of the matter is that band achievement is now purely gaged on column inches in Kerrang and how many friends you have on your Myspace. The awards are basically nothing but arse-kissing cunningly disguised as hero worship. People voting til their fingers bleed - get a life! These awards are purely about Myspace popularity and hairstyles. Only the best album category looks reasonable. The rest of it is a joke.

Enjoy it while you can, because we all know that Kerrang will move onto the next trend before long - and then we'll be wondering where all these bands you namecheck on a daily basis have gone.

30 seconds to mars

They have a huge fan base and through the forums, the Echelon and other 30 seconds to mars fans have voted non stop since the awards started - thats how they got 4 out of 5 catagories.

But I do think Machine Head etcc deserve to have some nominations but if the marjority of their fans cant be arsed to vote then its not kerrangs fault is it?

Also, people moaning that Kerrang are at fault - are you retarded? Kerrang doesnt make the descisions YOU DO

Posted by Katie | July 23, 2008 11:18 AM | Reply to this

30 seconds to mars

Which is exactly why the nominations have worked out as such - obviously some people on this site have nothing better to do than vote over and over and over again for the same bands - and plenty of people have admitted it - and thus its an unequal and unbalanced representation of the UK and international rock and metal scene.

Kerrang obviously aren't at fault, aside from leaving it wide open for people to abuse the nomination system to ensure bands like Youmeatsix get nominated for doing nothing but signing a record deal.

I voted despite knowing it was futile trying to get Evile a nomination for Best British Newcomer, or the Wildhearts for best live band. Maybe the awards should revert to a panel deciding who gets nominated - that way we might at least get a fairer representation of the rock and metal scene, and we might actually get some deserved winners.

And Elliot Minor rule! Your comment underlines just how stupid and obsessive some people get over particular bands. Get a life. Most bands are more than happy to meet their fans. Get your head out of the clouds instead of spitting venom at people for having an opinion on Elliot Minor you might not agree with.

LMFAO.
You're All So Fucking Pathetic.
'YouMeAtSix' Is Shit, Whine Fucking Whine, Obviously Alot Of Fucking People Think They Are Amazing If They Are Up For 'Best British Band' I've Seen Them Live Twice, And They Are Fucking Amazing.

And Who The Fuck Moans About YouMeAtSix Being To Popular Then Goes On About How FFAF Is Missing? I Honestly Thought FFAF Were More Popular Than YM@6.

Drown And Burn? RETARD.

You Me At Six Have Worked Fucking Hard, And Unlike A Lot Of Other Shitty Bands, They Don't Forget Their Fans, They Know Everything They Have Is Because Of Their Fans. They Don't Deserve Such Fucking Greif.

Stop Fucking Whining About YouMeAtSix. If They Are So Shit, Get Out There, And Do Fucking Better, Get More Successful, And Get To 'Best British Band' Before You've Even Realeased An Album, Because In My Eyes, Thats A Fucking Big Ass Accomplishment.

YouMeAtSix Are Fucking Amazing.
Disagree? Suck My Fucking Dick. Stop Fucking Whining And Don't Get Involved.

But Thanks To The People Sticking Up For YouMeAtSix.
Josh, Matt, Max, Chris And Dan Deserve To Get This Award.

Elliot Minor - best british newcomer

Good grief some people are getting their knickers in a knot... I've seen Elliot Minor 10 times in a year and to me they are the most amazing Band live. I'm old enough to be their mother so am not some teenie.. I've seen an awful lot of live Bands in my time and they are the best by far. They ARE still newcomers in this mad crazy world so don't kick up a stink about it... a lot of people haven't heard of them so that makes them new!! Some of the Bands people are saying should've been nominated, I've never heard of them at all so maybe next year? In the meantime grow up everybody, we all have our own opinions and tastes in music it's not worth killing each other over.

YMA6

There are some damn ignorant people on here.
YMA6 work their asses off and for you idiots that don't understand the rules of the awards, they were nominated for best newcomer last year so they cant be nominated for it again ... Its nothing to do with number of singles or albums.
They're a damn site better than some of the emo shit around at the moment.
And if the other bands are so much better, then why did no-one vote for them? .... yeah thought so. Muppets.

YMA6

But people do vote for the other bands - its just such a pointless exercise because bands like Evile, The Wildhearts and Meshuggah (who I voted for) never stood a chance in the face of other, super-popular acts. Evile's absence is the most astonishing considering the incredible progress they've made despite not having the full support of Kerrang and the mainstream media - I watched them go from unsigned to thrash metal superstars in the making. They're British, talented, not wholly original, but they made a quality album and their live show is electric. But people overlook all of that in favour of mediocrity.

If every category was like the best album category, there wouldn't be that much cause for concern. But there's hardly any diversity in most of the other categories. All these people saying 'if there's better bands why didn't you vote for them?' are missing the point. Its basically fan obsession running amok over actual talent and achievement, not helped by the fact that Kerrang chokes out the better up-and-coming UK rock and metal bands week in, week out, in favour of another Elliot Minor, or You Me At Six feature.

kerrang, what are you playing at?!

the repeat voting of some bands, shows that the people with the least lives are 30 seconds to mars fans. they can afford to spend all of a month constantly voting for that bad for each award.
a bad way of taking votes, kerrang! might aswell be as biased as the euro vision song contest.
one vote per IP address or per registered user or something, maybe. it just seems totally useless being able to vote for the same award countelss times.
(that is if you even take note of the reader votes at all, and you havnt pre-decided the results already.
no figures of the numbers of votes each band recieve are published, so how do we know the results are even a true reprisentation of what is voted?

its all a load of bollocks

YMAS

Why's everyone having a go at YMAS for being on as best british band and not best british newcomer?

In case you didn't realise, YMAS were nominated as Best British newcomer last year, and thus can't be nominated for it again, so that is the closest they're getting.

I hope YMAS do well, i personally think they deserve it, in the past 2/3 years they've come so far whether you like them or not, i think you have to give it to them really.

Anywayyyy i'm off to go vote for them (:

Bt Dont Get Me Wrong - Its Going To Be A Toughie For Best Album - MSI Or Avenged Sevenfold????

How ignorant are some people on here to say that 'if these bands are better, why didn't you vote for them'? Reality check - people, like myself, did vote for them. Unfortunately, given that bands like Evile and The Wildhearts don't receive half as much coverage as the likes of Elliot Minor and You Me At Six doesn't exactly help, does it?

Also, the voting system is flawed - I voted despite entering all my details as numbers, as I had no desire to win the competition. I only voted once, but this shows how open to abuse the system is. This is confirmed cos fans of You Me At Six, 30 Seconds to Mars, Elliot Minor and the like have admitted to 'voting until their fingers bleed'.

Jager is on the right track with those comments, though personally it'd be better if a panel decided the nominees - and I guarantee you'd get a much better spread of bands than what we have here.

I'm not saying anything about various bands not deserving a vote - but clearly people have gone out of their way to ensure their favourite band got a nomination. Its so obvious too, given that you all moaned when Machine Head beat MCR to two awards last year - obviously too closed-minded to accept diversity.

Kerrang - get the voting system sorted out for next year. This is a joke.

for fuck sake, kerrang didnt choose the bands
YOU DID!

your whining that your bands arent up there... VOTING IS UNLIMITED !! so fucking use it then!!!

im an echelon and i voted for 30stm in every spare minute i had, i am a die hard fan
30 seconds to mars are up for so many awards because of their huge fanbase and dedicated bands, if you really wanted your favourite band up there then you should have voted like alot of other people did... fucking endlessley!

im also a die hard elliot minor fan, no i havent seen them live yet, and i am a TEENAGE FAN, not a teenie, elliot minor are up for best british newcomer because thye have talent, like the other bands up for the same award, stop throwing your toys out of the fucking pram and grow a pair, and take the fucking fall. instead of whining that your favourites arent up there!... or do you want to act like hayley williams??

if you think the bands are shit in that award category, DONT FUCKING VOTE THEN!

im fucking sick of the people on here constantly bashing down good bands, yeah you have the right to your opinions and everything but the fact that you have to give a fucking 10 page essay about why the band deserve to 'die' and why the fans should be shot etc. why dont you do something productive and DIE YOURSELVES!

in my opinion, i think the bands nominated are worthy of the awards, they have worked hard for these awards and they deserve them
if you dont think so then dont vote and dont watch the awards!

stop acting like hayley williams and throwing your toys out of the fucking pram!
you sit here and say how much you hate her, and then you fucking act like her when you dont see your favourites up here

GROW THE FUCK UP
GROW A PAIR
STOP WHINING

How 's this acting like Hayley Williams why because she postponed tour dates because she was abused by her stepdad and then he sold possessions of her's on the internet to which she overreacted but i don't think she threw her toys out of the pram just overreacted a bit but it wasn't thought out that's all as for these lot they too have right to be angry because these bands although mostly okay aren't the best.

hayley williams is an average singer in an average band, a fucking overrated band in that too
the girl needs to grow up and so do half the people who comment on here
so what if she had a bad childhood, alot of other stars did too, but theyre not throwing tantrums every 5 minutes

if people really wanted their favourite bands to be nominated then they should have fucking voted like the fans of other bands then

its not up to kerrang, its up to the public, so its your fault other bands didnt get in over the okay ones

Hayley Williams is a good role model who is herself and yes she made a mistake and because she's in the public eye it made her look a bit daft but she is most definitely a better role model than other female stars at the moment ie Amy Winehouse(druggie scum),Girls Aloud(use their sexuality to sell their music) and the rest.
Out of the bands up I think none of them are the best however dead swans should win best british newcomer(sss really should or hearts under fire or maybe king blues),four year strong for best international newcomer(death in the park),best british band bullet for my valentine(ghost of a thousand,johnny truant),best international band avenged sevenfold(as i lay dying,comeback kid,nine inch nails,jimmy eat world),best single bullet for my valentine(cancer bats hail destroyer),best video-i couldn't care less,best album cancer bats(johnny truant,king blues,say anything),best live band dillinger escape plan(mastodon,comeback kid,as i lay dying,anti-flag) and i think they should start the most inspirational male and female awards like rocksound(a better magazine) as well and male shoul go to trent reznor or justin sane and female to angela gossow or hayley williams. as i'm sure you can tell i like a bit of all genres of music but the bands up are not the best just the most popular but there is nothing wrong with them winning i would just prefer to see the bands i mentioned get a little more appreciation.

In an election you get one vote - if the same principle from these awards applied to politics you'd end up with a leader you really don't want. What makes you think the voting system is entirely fair? It should be one vote per person.

I've been listening to rock and metal in all its forms for over 10 years now and listened to, and seen, hundreds, if not thousands of bands in my time. Its called being open-minded. Clearly you and a lot of other people aren't. Grow up.

How about Kerrang decide who the nominations are!!!! Then we wouldnt have the tosh maybe that has been anounced.

YOU ME AT SIX FOR BEST BRITISH BAND.

right, first off You Me At Six deserve this so much. they have worked so hard to get this award & they will apperciate this so much.
yes they are a fairly new band but cmon, you many bands can say that they are up for best british band, havent even got a album out yet & only 3 singles out? that was is one hell of a achievement.
You Me At Six are one of the best bands ive seen live, ive seen them 4 times & going to see them the 5th & its not going to be the last time.
one of the reasons they are up for this award is because you dont know how much they love thier fans.
some of these big bands are just like ohhh ok we are won another award but to these lads it will mean the world to them.
we need some new talent in britan. would you wanna see the same bands winning year in year out?
You Me At Six all the way tbh :)
<3

Youmeatsix FOR BEST BRITISH BAND

First off fair enough that is your opinion on wether you think You Me at Six
should get best british band. But you know what we dont give a fuck about it.
If they didnt deserve it they wouldnt be up for it. They are a newish band but how many
have actually been nominated for this award and ended up getting this much support when
they havent released there album yet and have had 3 singles which on kerrang have reached number one.
They have had numerous headline sell out tours and toured with some of the best bands about at the moment..AVA, Paramore,Fightstar.
Why give the awards to the same bands year in year out. I mean cause that is really supporting British Talent is it fucking
shite if the same bands got it year in year out it would get very boring and tbh i dont even think they would appreciate it.
New talent should be celebrated, and when it is done as good as they do it through tours
etc they should be granted this award. You know what yous are all pointless if you cant see British talent right under your nose.
These boys are some of the nicest ones you could meet and are a big credit to the British public after all the slating that people of there and the fans age get, tbh right it is your opinion
and they are up against some stiff competition and they know this. so why not cut them some slack, celebrate some good british talent and vote for the people you like.
but keep what you think to yourself..cause them + there fans cant be bothered with NON CELEBRATING BRITISH TALENT people.

Why argue?

I hate to break it to you all but if 'You me at six' and 'Elliot Minor' and whatever other bands are 'so shit' then:

1. Why are they on the shortlist.
2. Have huge fanbases.
3. Have made it this far.
4. Are successful.
etc...

And you may say 'All the fans of ____ are pansies/retards/idiots/ who havent reached puberty'. WHATEVER, QUITE FRANKLY WE DON'T CARE! Obviously these bands are good if they have made it this far. We don't care about your opinions or insults you try and throw at us... we can't catch :) Why waste your time ranting about how shit other bands are...its CLEARLY a matter of opinion and don't comment on here until you grow up and realise!

I would like to finish by saying:

I am a PROUD fan of YouMeAtSix...they are the best of rock and pop-punk. (i have also seen them and elliot minor play live and i have to say they were awesome!)
I am also a proud fan of Elliot Minor, Simple Plan, Go:Audio, Kids in Glass Houses as well as FFAF, Paramore, Enter Shikari etc.

And also i stay true to my music...i don't try and kid myself or like a band because someone tells me to, so whatever anyone says to try and insult me...it won't work because i'm not going to change who i am for anyone =]

Lecture over =D

I find it funny that people whos favorite bands arent shortlisted are having a go. It's like, everyone gets the chance to vote equally, every band had the same chance, so stop complaining! "The voting system is flawed" ?? Fuck off. Man up yeah?

Any awards where the voting can effectively be rigged by constant voting for certain acts over and over and over again is definitely flawed. I voted ONCE like everyone should. So fuck off dude. Its not my fault that your CD collection or media library consists of about 10 bands.

I come from a time when the Kerrang Awards actually meant something. If you haven't noticed that loads of people on here have said they have, or will, vote repeatedly for bands in the awards poll, then you're obviously more blind to the truth than I thought.

Posted by Peter | July 23, 2008 4:46 PM | Reply to this

I'm not denying that. I know people vote a lot, but its the way that the awards are set up. It doesnt give one band more chance of winning. Its just means fans have nothing better to do that vote all day. I've voted once in each catagory and tbh I hope the system is changed next year so you can only vote once. Still, it's not that way this year so you muppets need to get over yourself.

And why did anything I just said justify the small CD library comment? Face facts mate.

I'm sorry to have directed that comment directly at you (small CD library) but I've seen that many people going on about the same bands over others all day, and giving me backchat for making valid points elsewhere, its driving me insane. No offense meant there.

I really hope the voting system at least gets changed to one vote per person next year too, at the very least, cos otherwise bands who don't receive as much attention in Kerrang haven't even got a chance of getting nominated. If they did get nominated, then it'd mix things up a little bit at least.

who's arsed?!

tbh who is actually arsed about the results?

is it gonna change your life if the band you like/doesnt like gets nominated or wins? nope, thought not!

all the people moaning about the fact that fans of other bands voted more than once when you only voted once, grow up!!you could've voted more than once yourself too!

and ok, unlimited votes may not be the best idea, but thats the way it is, so SUCK IT UP FFS!!!!!

i didnt vote for the same band more than once, but i did vote in the same category more than once, which i know kinda defeats the object, but at least all the bands i liked had a chance that way.

personally im glad Elliot Minor got nominated for something, although i agree with the people saying it shouldnt be best newcomer, cos they have been out 2 years. they are a great band, who's gigs i have enjoyed many times. and I AM NOT A TEENIE!!! anyone who even says that is gonna get their heads kicked in cos i cant stand the "omg you're in a band i love you marry me!" obssessive twats you get at their gigs!!
i also agree with the people saying Wildhearts should have been nominated for something.

*sigh*done ranting now. i know ive probably contradicted myself somewhere but anyhu....

can we all just agree to disagree that some of us like the shortlist, some of us dont, and everyone has their own music tastes, cos if we didnt it'd be a boring world?

nope, thought not..........

do you really think this is entirely down to votes?
kerrang would never give the public 100% control over who gets nominated.

i'm sure a load of random kids in bands spent all day every day voting for themselves but at the end of the day kerrang arent just gonna let any old band get shortlisted. and who's to say the voting is taken in to account at all? they probably just use it to build hype around the awards and get people involved.

they should show the results from the votes as proof

Posted by nick | July 24, 2008 3:49 AM | Reply to this

i agree. if people could actually see how other people had voted, then they might stop being pathetic idiots complaining about who's got shortlisted.

but at the end of the day, they're there because they're popular. ultimately thats all this and similar awards shows are. a popularity contest.
if it really was the 'best' bands that won, then the only acts that would win would be ones who sold the most singles/albums and sold out the largest capacity venues. and they would more than likely be the same acts winning every year, which tbh would be pretty damn boring!
and as proved by most of the crap thats in the charts recently, you can have high sales without being any good.

Kerrang... why not restrict voting?

I'm just wondering how different the nominees would be if we'd been restricted to one vote per category per person.

I'm sure some of the bands nominated are only there because their fans are super dedicated and have time to continuously vote.

I know some people would still register multiple email addresses and vote like mad - but surely you'd get a better view on what the 'rock listening' public thinks if it wasn't open slather 'vote as much as you like'.

Or, maybe as has been mentioned by others... it doesn't matter because the votes don't count!

why

the fanbase's for all of these bands have obviously voted for them because they think they deserve to be in the chance of getting the award

if you dont like a certain band here then dont bother moaning about it
just vote for the ones you do like

personally i recon go:audio deserve the best british newcomer more than any of the other bands
they were unheard of at the begning of the year
and now their selling out with their own headline tour
it would also be their first ever award that their nominated for
and they derserve it more than the other bands
yes i do like the other bands in that section but elliot minor arent really new are they....

VOTE FOR GO:AUDIO!!! (L)

Once upon a time people actually voted for bands due to the music and shows they put on.
Not because of how hot the frontman is.

why does everybody hate them? what the fucking hell did they do to you?!? If you don't like them, then don't listen to them and don't vote for them. SIMPLE AS.
they can play live cause I saw them the other night and they were fucking incredible.
Just stop ranting at them. If you have an opinion then sure say it, but you don't have to get the fans that are defending them involved.

No Steer Clear?
CHRIST!
No MENTION of them for the SXSW festival? OH NO, OF COURSE NOT!
No mention of the in any K! mag, but still, they were up for nomination.
I though K! mag was meant to INTRODUCE new bands, not let people find out about them through MYSPACE!

Arghh

Steer Clear should have been nominated as Best British Newcomer. They're amazing. They should have won.
