Kerrang! Award noms out
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 June 2010
Kerrang! has announced the nominations for its annual awards ceremony. Scoring big in the list this year are the likes of Paramore, Green Day, 30 Seconds To Mars, Lostprophets and Bullet For My Valentine. Though we’re mainly excited to see hardcore types Throats up for Best British Newcomer.
Slightly more excited about the nominations as a whole, the magazine’s editor Nichola Browne told CMU: “The competition is now getting tough! US superstars Paramore, Green Day, Metallica and 30 Seconds To Mars are going head to head with the biggest and best homegrown talent, namely Lostprophets, Bullet For My Valentine, You Me At Six and Biffy Clyro”.
Public voting is now open in all categories, ahead of the awards ceremony in London on 29 Jul, which will this year again be hosted by Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.
Says Ian: “I am really excited, actually super excited to be back again for my fourth year hosting the Kerrang! Awards. And like last year, I get to share the good time with my stylish friend Corey Taylor. Next to my birthday, it’s the biggest party of the year!”
