Bands are constantly releasing new music, but in the music industry it seems to be albums that make the most impact.

Blossoms released their highly anticipated debut album in August. The self-titled album showcases their sound; a unique blend of guitar-pop and funky disco-pop which is reminiscent of the 80s. Blossoms have been non-stop touring since the release and performed at nearly 50 festival appearances across the summer. The album managed to climb to Number One in the charts consequently making Blossoms a household name. The best part about the album is the variety within, from fast past anthems such as, ‘Charlemagne’ and ‘Getaway’ to the piano ballads ‘Onto Her Bed’ and ‘My Favourite Room’.
Blossoms are currently on the UK leg of their tour and will be moving onto Japan and Europe in early 2017 before returning to the UK in March.
The winner of each category will announced on 3oth of December.
