With And So I Watch You From Afar, Girls Names and MBV being just three of the names in the running for Album Of The Year 2013, check out Hot Press' 2013 reviews of the nominees...
Keeping the public on the edge of their seats as they unveiled the nominees one tweet at a time, the list of acts in the running for the Choice Music Prize has been announced.
Always a controversial group, there are plenty of big-hitters featuring this time around, including Bell x1 (their fourth nomination), Villagers and the returning My Bloody Valentine. Hopefully Kevin Shields' lot will turn up and cause a glorious din at the live event in Vicar Street, which takes place February 27. We'll learn the ultimate winner on the night.
Hoping to go home €10,000 better off will be:
