What a great bunch of nominees that have just been announced for this years Barclaycard Mercury Prize. It’s quite an interesting mix with international acts Bombay Bicycle Club and Royal Blood making for a tough competition. We’d like to see rhymester Kate Tempest or FKA twigs sweep in and bag this one up. We’ll be left waiting until October 29, where the winner will be announced at the Barclaycard Mercury Prize Awards Show at London’s Roundhouse. The full list of nominees can be found below.
