The Australian Music Prize (7th Amp) is proud to announce The Jezabels as the winners of the $30,000 cash prize courtesy of PPCA.
The Amp winner is decided by a democratic voting process by a panel of more than 40 judges based on their opinion of each album alone. The Australian Music Prize aims to encourage discussion and support of the local music industry by highlighting the nine shortlisted artists, as well as the winner. The Amp continues to support Australian music both locally and overseas.
The Jezabels won the prize for their album " Prisoner" which contains dramatic, creative songwriting delivered with ferocity by commanding front woman Hayley Mary. The Jezabels have firmly cemented their place in the Australian music industry and abroad.
