The shortlist is in!

Each year we’re sent so many amazing tracks by so many talented musicians and each year, getting the shortlist is tougher and tougher.

We’ve had to make some difficult decisions as always, but after listening to over 1500 applications we have managed to narrow it down to a final few.

Every year we are blown away by the scale of amazing talent that is out there, and every year we have to make some incredibly tough decisions, this year was no exception and the awesome short list is in!

Bands have been handpicked by us, The Amazons, Rough Trade, BBC Introducing and YOURSELF.

Voting has now closed! We will be announcing the winners soon.
