Somehow it was not reported in the paper or on the Hawaii News Now website but STORM has been nominated for 4 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards this year. This is the first time a “Rock” type band has ever been nominated for Group of the Year, Single of the Year and Song of the Year. We know we won’t win those, but it’s pretty awesome to be making history like that.
