Who would you say is the most heralded band in Western Australia? Eskimo Joe? Birds Of Tokyo? Tame Impala? Wrong, wrong and wrong. In 2011 the answer would have to be our very own Shiny boys Split Seconds, who topped the winner’s list at the annual WAMi Awards with no less than five gongs to their name. The Perth-based group took home the the publicy-voted FAVOURITE NEWCOMER award, as well as the industry-voted accolades for MOST PROMISING NEW ACT and BEST INDIE POP ACT. On top of this, frontman Sean Pollard was announced as BEST MALE VOCALIST and drummer Todd Pickett was proclaimed the BEST DRUMMER in the land.
And while we’re on the topic, a big, fat congratulations also goes out to Boom! Bap! Pow!, who took home the WAMi for BEST FUNK ACT. The WAMi’s have never looked so Shiny!
