[ClickPress, Wed May 14 2008] As the NationwideMercury prize (http://www.nationwidemercurys.com/) readies to announce nominees in July, a series of new music recommendations have been launched on the award website to whet music listener appetite.

While the details of award nominees will not be released until July, the Nationwide Mercury Music prize website now features a recommended list of music from across all genres (http://www.nationwidemercurys.com/recommends/), to help music lovers find more great music in the meantime.

The recommended page features new bands, and also some longer-standing groups and musicians whom listeners may want to be reminded about.

The Nationwide Mercury recommends page covers tracks and videos linking to free music at YouTube and MySpace, as well as information on album releases and live gigs of interest.

Groups featured include The Ting Tings, Erykah Badu, These New Puritans, The Roots, Jamie Lidell, Shortwave Set and Flairs. There is also information on upcoming gigs by Beck, and a remastered collectors edition of the first album by Joy Division.

Previous winners of the Nationwide Mercury music prize include Ami Winehouse and the Kaiser Chiefs.

The Mercury awards are sponsored by Nationwide, the world's biggest building society, and a leading provider in the UK of credit cards, travel insurance, as well as online loan and online mortgage services.
