Blackchords have been nominated for the St Helier Online Music Awards in the ‘Best Video’ category for ‘Broken Bones.’
Blackchords released their self-titled debut album in April, 2009. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Blackchords, fronted by songwriter Nick Milwright, have been widely acclaimed on their native turf “One of the best Australian debut releases” (Reverb Magazine) with critics raving their darkly majestic collection of understated songs recall the best bits of Ryan Adams, Elbow and Jeff Buckley. In 2006 they created quite a stir when, their video for ‘Broken Bones’ won first place at Melbourne’s prestigious St Kilda Film Festival. In 2008 the same song went on to become a double finalist in the ISC- International Songwriting Competition (for best rock song & video). Not bad for an unsigned band.
