You Me At Six nominated for five Kerrang! awards

You Me At Six lead this year's Kerrang! rock magazine nominations list.

The Surrey group are twice up for best single, album, live band and British band.

You Me At Six front man Josh Fransceschi said: "To be up for best British band four years in a row is just insane.

"The people at the awards are going to think there's a problem with the slide show when our two songs come up in a row [for best single]."

St Albans hardcore band Enter Shikari are up for best album and best live band with Young Guns up for top single and album.

Metalcore outfit Asking Alexandria are also nominated for best live band and British band.

Singer Danny Worsnop and lead guitarist Ben Bruce are also up for two new awards: Tweeter of the year and hottest male respectively.

Kerrang! editor James McMahon said: "The Kerrang! Awards remains the most important date on any rock star's calendar.

"What's most exciting about this year's nominations is how strong the new bands categories are.

"Of course, you could have said the same thing when You Me At Six were included in said categories a few years ago, and look where they are now.

"Much is made of how fun and debauched the Kerrang! Awards are. I prefer to see them as proof of how strong the rock scene is."

30 Seconds To Mars, My Chemical Romance and Evanescence are all up for best international band and Download competes with the likes of Reading and Leeds for top festival.

Sonisphere, cancelled this year, misses out.

More than 280,000 votes were cast to decide on the short lists for this year's awards.

They take place in the same week as the Diamond Jubilee, on Thursday 7 June.

New categories this year include best TV show, video game, tweeter of the year and villain of the year - which includes Justin Bieber, Simon Cowell and One Direction.
