Nominations for this year's Kerrang! Awards were exclusively announced today at the Kerrang! Day Of Rock, which was held at London's Oxford Street Virgin Megastores (the Official Retail Partner for the Kerrang! Awards). The Kerrang! Awards are set to take place on Thursday 23 August at The Brewery and promise to deliver what most expect from the Kerrang! Awards - a night of rock 'n' roll excess and definitely a night to remember!
The battle between the rave-metal of Enter Shikari and the grandeur rock of My Chemical Romance is well and truly on, with each band being nominated for a tremendous FOUR awards.
Said Enter Shikari's Rou: "Great to be nominated again, thanks to everyone that voted for us! Still shocked from being nominated last year really! Hopefully this time we wont have a show and can actually make the awards!"
My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way added: "It's been an amazing, crazy adventure being in this band for six years. The United Kingdom has always been a second home for us and you have all done more than make us feel welcome. And while nominations are flattering, and trophies are thrilling, our greatest award is the love and dedication we receive from all of you - and nothing sitting in a shelf can take the place of that. Thank you for making us the best we can be"
