1994

And so it begins again… After 1993’s Brit Awards had the news pages of NME screaming: “Must We Throw This Brit At Our Pop Kids?” (Annie Lennox and Simply Red both picked up a duo of awards), the NME Awards were resurrected, re-branding themselves as ‘The Brats’ in retaliation.
Britpop was in its halcyon period; to reflect this the likes of Radiohead, Suede and Elastica took home awards. The cover of the February 5th issue was: ‘Take Brat And Party!’ and featured Yorke, Frischmann and Anderson pouting and holding their awards aloft. Hitting all the mid-90s culture reference points, it was hosted by Vic and Bob, took place at London’s New Empire and was broadcast on the The Evening Session.
