Nominees for the RTÉ Choice Music Prize were revealed this week, with indie band Silverbacks among the 10 nominees for Album of the Year. Their third studio album, 'Easy Being a Winner', received positive reviews from the likes of The Irish Times and CLASH and is now in contention for the €10,000 grand prize at this year's ceremony at Vicar Street in March. Guitarist and vocalist Kilian O'Kelly and bassist Paul Leamy talked to us about honing their "infectious brand of retro-indie pop rock" per GoldenPlec, and the experience of being nominated for Ireland's most prestigious music award.
