Fleet Foxes go up against Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon and Paul Weller.
Fleet Foxes have been nominated for three accolades in the 2009 Mojo awards, less than a year after releasing their debut.
The quintet has been put up for the song of the year prize with White Winter Hymnal, competing with heavyweights such as Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon, Elbow and Animal Collective.
In addition, the group is in the running for best live act, going up against Paul Weller, Leonard Cohen, Seasick Steve and Radiohead.
Fleet Foxes are also nominated for album of the year prize alongside Kings of Leon's Only By The Night, 22 Dreams by Paul Weller, Elbow's The Seldom Seen Kid and A Woman A Man Walked By from PJ Harvey and John Parish.
Phil Alexander, Mojo editor-in-chief, also revealed that 1960s group Pretty Things will be handed the Mojo Hero award at the ceremony on June 11th.
He commented: "They are a classic British band in every sense. To my knowledge they've never won an award so this is long overdue and well deserved."
Last month, it was revealed that Coldplay have been nominated for three Ivor Novello Awards - bestselling British track, best album and most performed song.
