This year's Brit Award nominations features a few surprises...
The 2015 Brit Award nominations have finally been announced with, it seems, a few surprises alongside the obvious candidates. There's no prizes for guessing who's come out on top for this year's list of award-winning possibles.

5 Seconds Of Summer Are A Boy Band, But It's Not Because Of Their Music
By Joe DeAndrea in Music / Festivals on 04 August 2014
What exactly makes 5 Seconds of Summer a boy band?
Auto-tuned vocals, dashing good looks, and a bunch of outside writers and producers making the songs. Those are probably the most common qualities that you'll find in your standard boy band. But what about the so-called boy bands that transcend these stereotypes - the "boy bands" that are far from what's considered manufactured? Will they ever stand a chance, or is it too easy to give in to the mainstream pressure?
5 Seconds of Summer dropped their record in Australia on June 27, and even though the United States will have to wait until July 22 to get their hands on it, the songs released thus far have been a great representation of the album as a whole. Filled with high energy anthems and a mix of those pop punk, pop rock, and straight up boy band tendencies allow the record to hold a place in your summer playlist all season long. If you're struggling to figure out which tracks to include on it, we've got you covered.
