Both bands picked up a gong at the Ivor Novello Awards last night. The Maccabees picked up the award for the Best Contemporary Song for "Pelican" and Alt-J won the award for the Best Album, just months after winning the Mercury Prize award for the same album. Well done to both bands!

Best of 2012: #21-30 Edging closer to the top 20, this batch consists of some of my favorite bands of last year (The Maccabees, Dirty Projectors, Everything Everything and Alt J are all f-ing brilliant!) that offered up a mix of tracks that both appealed to my quiet internal and boppy external, all the while teaching me some quirky musicality no one else had. While the rest of the bunch definitely showcases the fact that electronic music and hipster soul have ALOT in common these days (Solange, Santigold and Azealia Banks being the best [...]
Words: Alison Potter, Emily Solan, Howard Gorman, Rajan Lakhani, Raman K, Saam Das, and Simon Opie 2012. The year that guitar music died. The year that hip hop died. The year that dubstep died.

Pop, R&B, hip hop and yes, even guitar music [...]

Kendrick Lamar - “Backseat Freestyle” 1A: Usher - “Climax” 1B: Frank Ocean - “Pyramids” Two R&B tracks so brilliantly crafted that it’s impossible to pick one over the other.

1. The Maccabees 'Given to the Wild' Bigger, stronger, slower: boys become men and one of the best bands around. 2. Spector 'Enjoy It While It Lasts' 2012 called; it wants indie back. 3. Mumford & Sons 'Babel' More of the same but it's too inspiring to care. [...]
O Mercury Prize é uma das mais importantes premiações da música britânica. Desde 1992, o evento elege o melhor disco do ano, lançado na Inglaterra ou Irlanda. E quem levou o Mercury Prize 2012 foi o debut An Awesome Wave , da banda Alt-J, lançado em maio. Enquanto o quarteto comemorava a conquista (ainda meio sem acreditar que realmente ganharam), o The Maccabees saia à procura de seu troféu perdido. Eles também concorreram ao prêmio com o disco Given to the Wild , e assim como todos os outros artistas, [...]

No idea. Every year I have my favourite and they NEVER win. Certainly my fav on this list [...]
