The Blog Sound of 2012- Top Five

The Blog Sound 2012

Last month we reported on an alternative sound of poll we were involved with. We selected some acts to watch in 2012 alongside other fine music webzines/fanzines and blogs in attempt to gage emerging talent for the coming twelve months. The longlist was released first here https://godisinthetvzine.co.uk/index.php/2011/12/05/the-blog-sound-of-2012-the-long-list/

Today the top five “Sounds of 2012” as voted for within the Blog / Fanzine community have been released many of whom we have supported in the past. Brooklyn’s Friends were the winners.

1.Friends
2.Theme Park
3.Beth Jeans Houghton
4.French Wives
5.Daughter

  1. KIWANUKA TOPS BBC SOUND OF POLL
    But enough about 2011, what about 2012 goddamn it?
    Well, the BBC’s Sound Of 2012 poll’s final five has been announced, the survey of music pundit types that pisses off everyone who doesn’t get to vote but which, when it comes to the overall winners, is usually good at predicting which newcomers will have a good year to come, even if some next big things are inevitably missing, and some lower down the shortlist are never heard of ever again.
    Anyway, well done Michael Kiwanuka for generating enough late in the day buzz to top the poll. And let’s all agree to not waste time discussing why the Grammy nominated Skrillex is on the list.
    1. Michael Kiwanuka
    2. Frank Ocean
    3. Azealia Banks
    4. Skrillex
    5. Niki & The Dove
