Speaking about his role in putting together the shortlist for this year's award, judge Rich Walker, general manager at 4AD Records, said: "What a great award to be asked to help judge. Working at 4AD, there's never a shortage of new music to listen to but I've particularly enjoyed discovering what a fertile and supportive scene Liverpool currently has. More cities really should copy the GIT template and do their own award."

This year's edition marks the fourth consecutive year of the GIT (Getintothis) award which aims to champion "the best of Merseyside music providing a snapshot of the year while recognising significant artist achievement across a range of musical styles" and tQ's very own John Doran is also among the judges that helped put together the shortlist. The winner will be announced at Liverpool's Kazimier venue on April 4 and tickets for the event can be purchased here. Meanwhile, you can find all the details for this year's GIT Award here.
