Schönbys 2012 - Best Single

Dec 5, 2012, 4:40pm What's Wrong With The Mainstream

They're back! After a year-long hiatus (well, what would you expect with an end-of-year awards?) the Schönbys are here to shower glory all over the best musical aspects of 2012. The awards are a fictional vehicle for me to let you know what I've enjoyed listening to during 2012. Winners and nominations are drawn from music I have seen, heard or bought during the preceding 12 months. First up is single of the year. I find this category difficult to judge, mainly because the kind of track I would normally like doesn't always make the greatest [...]
