It's Indie 2020 Music Awards

As the end of the year races to meet us, our Music Awards voting rolls on at a relentless pace. To date, we have had over 1,600 votes (over 2,100 if you include the duplicate votes that had to be discounted) - and there's a long way to go yet!

You can vote for your favourite artist in each category once per day - voting closes at midnight on New Years Eve and any one of the awesome artists can win in their category!

We waited ages for each of these albums, and they were definitely worth the wait! The shortlist for Album of the Year is:

M-40 "Play The Game"

INEGO "Departures"

Jekyll "The Whispering Gallery"

in earnest "in earnest"

Competing for Single of the Year are five songs that took our breath away:

Alex Ohm "Hours"

Slye "Waiting"

Michael Baker "Baby Books"

in earnest "come upstairs"

Family Jools "Georgia"

Creating videos while social distancing must be quite difficult! However despite the problems, these five incredible videos made the shortlist for Video of the Year:

New Language "Paranoid"

INEGO "Phoenix Arizona"

Berne "Stay"

Dramalove "Written In The Stars"

Demi The Daredevil "Not Having A Blast"
