The UK’s music blogs, including Getintothis, have cast their votes, here’s who’s set to shape the sound of 2015.
All We Are and Låpsley have been named in the long list for the Blog Sound of 2015.
The Blog Sound, an antidote to the BBC’s Sound Of 2015, canvassed 62 UK music blogs including Getintothis, with GIT Award nominees All We Are and GIT Award One To Watch winner Låpsley included in the list alongside the likes of Chloe Black, Prides and Fickle Friends.
The Blog Sound of 2015 poll aims to showcase some of the best new emerging artists, however, unlike the BBC Sound poll (for which Låpsley was selected yesterday), the artists nominated aren’t selected just by industry experts – instead they’re voted for by music bloggers with no financial incentive to do so.
This year’s poll canvassed 62 UK music blogs in November 2014, asking each one to pick its three favourite emerging artists and rank them in order of preference.
In total 148 artists received at least one vote, with the acts scored 3, 2 and 1 points respectively.
The act who gained the most amount of points in the poll will be announced on 2 January 2015.
In further, Låpsley news, you can now watch her recent performance at the BBC’s Maida Vale studios were she performed new track 8896 from her forthcoming Understudy EP.
