There were literally dozens of other indie bands in 1993 we could have featured, so don& #39;t feel disappointed if your favourite wasn& #39;t there. You can feel annoyed that nobody under the age of 30 has heard of them however...
And that& #39;s it for our 1993 indie awards. The winners will release a special cassingle for charity at some point, so keep reading the Melody Maker for details!
