We decided to enter the top ten bands from the Open Submissions poll in the Best of New England Emerging Artists 2010 Poll which will be posted sometime next week. In case you missed the last post, here are the bands in order of how they were ranked by other Deli editors (Chicago and LA). But in my opinion they are all stellar and I'm happy to add all of them to the poll next week. The Best of New England Emerging Artists Poll will be voted on by a cocktail of local bloggers, scenemakers, Deli readers and Deli staff. Stay tuned.
