NME Awards 2012 tutte le nomination

Con ben sette nomination, gli Arctic Monkeys si dimostrano il nome di punta dell’edizione 2012 degli NME Awards, i più famosi tra i premi alternativi al duopolio Brit-Mercury della musica britannica, assegnati dalla più influente rivista di settore del Regno Unito. Tutte le candidature (molte quelle presenti per la prima volta) sono state presentate in esclusiva da Zane Lowe nel corso dello spettacolo su BBC Radio 1 di lunedì sera, non senza alcuna sorpresa: tra tutte le tre nomination di Lana Del Rey e l’esclusione dei Kasabian in due categorie cruciali come Best Album e Best Track
