What a toolbag award, trying to tailor themselves solely for the "indie" crowd.

All of these suck, anyway

Sleigh Bells and Alexisonfire are awesome so I'm glad they won something. Cancer Bats are ok as well. At least some good bands won... did you see the Brits? That was embarrassing.

Metric are good live, but a million other bands are much better live. Holy Fuck is good, but The Suburbs is so overrated.

If you laugh at 3 Inches winning the metal award, you have no appreciation of what metal is. These guys pay tribute to the roots, and do a damn good job. I think they fully deserved it.

Slightly more respectable than the Brits. Slightly.

Exile29, they are like a parody of everything that was wrong with metal.

St. Catherines.

Best group doesn't mean best new album. Alexisonfire tour a ton, had a new EP out and through their sideprojects are real active.
