The Awards were a Quebecois band, formed in 2001 and active to at least 2003, if not a little later. Despite coming in after the turn of the millennium, their sound is much more 90s emo pop than the 2000s version that was making inroads towards the radio at that point. Keep in mind, however, that this is only true for their first release. By 2003, their split with Burn Your Wishes showcases a band pivoting towards the new form of emo (if the metal-flavored bands of the latter half of the 90s earned the moniker nu-metal, then why isn't third wave emo called nu-emo?).
The Awards have only two releases: the Pictures Beside Words EP in 2002, and a split with Burn Your Wishes in 2003.
