We received a record number of submissions for our Chicago Year End Poll for Emerging Artists. All of the submissions were ranked by Deli Editors from other cities and our finalist are listed below. These bands will advance to our Reader’s Poll phase together with the artists chosen by our jury of local "scene makers" which will be launching shortly. We would like to thank all of the bands that submitted, it was truly a great showing from Chicago.
