Blossoms have placed at #4 on the BBC’s Sound Of poll for 2016.
The world of guitar music has been represented on the list in recent years by the likes of Royal Blood and Slaves, and now the Stockport band are flying the flag after receiving big support on BBC 6Music last year thanks to a run of excellent singles which culminated with ‘Charlemagne‘.
The group were on BBC Radio 1’s breakfast show this morning and currently have ‘At Most a Kiss‘ as the station’s Track Of The Day. “We’re chuffed to bits to have been voted 4th in the BBC Music Sound Of 2016 list,” they wrote on Facebook.
