Chase and his cronies at Bad Stain Records have posted up this year’s nominees for the unfortunately named Arizona Ska-Punk Awards (although I know the contraction’s snuck its way into common vernacular, I just think that “ska-punk” is a stupid fucking term).
Nonetheless, it is an interesting democratic you-pick-the-winner contest, and it’s always interesting to see who’s voted in for what category. The nominees are listed here; the actual awards ceremony is sometime after the 2/28 deadline at the clubhouse. these are a few of the more interesting categories, just to give you a taste:
BEST ALBUM:
Zombeast – S/T
Sigma – Violence Speaks Louder Than Words
And the Hero Fails – Empire Smile
Parkway Wretch – Homesick
Job for a Cowboy – Doom
BEST EMO GROUP:
De Sole’
Dear and the Headlights
Lydia
Goodbye Tomorrow
Movie Script Ending
BEST VIDEO:
My Doll – Time
The Dames – Boys and Booze
Job For A Cowboy –
Entombment Of A Machine
Sigma – The Grass Is Greener
Sigma – God Hates Flags
LIFE TIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD:
Sid Copeland
Will Anderson
Tyler King
Leslie Barton
Kimber Lanning
Alright, I confess, I started choking/laughing my ass off when I saw Tyler King nominated for lifetime achievement; he’s also up for best promoter, that one makes a little more sense…
