At long last, it is time to reveal the Band of the Year voting results.
I want to thank everyone who voted. I hope you will visit often. We had almost 2,000 votes. Which totally blew me away.
We shall begin with positions 6-10 in alphabetical order:
Clepto (website) - In spite of my screwing up their name on the Poll, Saudi-born punk rockers Clepto rallied to reach the top 10. If you are in to hard punk rock with a Middle Eastern tinge, please check out Clepto.
Elika (website) - New York based indie band Elika offers cool electronica with a slight shoegazey feel to it. I have no idea what I just typed. Elika makes good music. Check them out today!
Lost Romance (website) - New Jersey based alt-rockers Lost Romance play big music. One of my favorite tracks "Top of the World" has a brilliant, expansive sound. Their music deserves to fill arenas. Check them out.
Those Mockingbirds (website) - another New Jersey based alt-rock band. Not just another New Jersey based alt-rock band. Those Mockingbirds possess strong songwriting and the musical chops to carry it off. Visit their website, pick up their new EP and prepare to become a fan.
WorldService Project (website) - I'll admit, when WorldService Project first began following me on Twitter, I thought they were a non-profit providing volunteer opportunities to third world countries. Okay I have an active imagination. Turns out they are a London-based Punk-Jazz band. I like jazz and I like punk, and I really like World Service Project. Give them a listen.
Now to the Top 5....

Week 6: The Alternates -are a Los Angeles based indie rock band. They are an exciting band that I expect to hear much more from. Front man, Spencer Livingston recently released a song called Occupy Wall Street. Here's a track we like called The Modern Way.
Week 7: Ubiquity Machine - hail from Arlington, Virginia. Back when I named them band of the week, I didn't know anything about them except that I really liked some of the music I was hearing. They list their genre on Facebook as: AltIndiePopRockSkronkDeathPolkaDancercize which I love. Here is their sublimely lovely international smash hit, A Beautiful Girl:
01 A Beautiful Girl by Ubiquity Machine
Week 8: Inner City Elegance - are Canadian with a connection to Brazil. They are a honest to f**k ROCK band. Don't believe me? Check out their latest video - just released November 13. It's called Swearing Like a Sailor:
MORE TO COME.
