Winners: Album and EP of the Year 2011
Last month we announced our nominations for album of the year and EP of the year, where we chose bands strictly from Manchester who were left under the radar. We hand picked several bands from each of the two categories who we felt had produced quality records, all of which deserved their nomination. Bands then went on to tell their fans about the nominations to which they proceeded to vote for their favourite album and EP. We’d like to thank everyone who voted, we racked up nearly 2000 votes and we came away with two clear winners.
The winners are … *drum roll please*
Music from Rainy Skies Magazine Album of the Year goes to The Cape Race – Now Voyager.
