Deli Readers,
We are proud to announce that The Deli’s Best Emerging DC Area Artist of 2012 is Shark Week! The rock’n’roll quartet won by a hair with 0,006 points (i.e. 6 readers’ votes) over metal group Warchild. Taking third place is the stylish, syncopated indie pop of More Humans.
Take a look at our chart of 61 DC Area area bands below. The highest value of votes came from our jurors, who included individuals involved in local music. This includes promoters, venue owners, press, record store owners, and other music experts. The remainder of votes was compiled by The Deli DC contributors, readers, and open submissions voted on by national Deli editors.
Congrats to everyone who made the list and thanks to all those who voted!
