Hi,
In my home town of Cincinnati, we give out critical acheivement awards to original bands in their respective genres. This year the band I am in has been nominated for the funk/rnb category. This is all decided by a popular vote ie; whoever has the most fans will have the most votes. Last year this forum helped us to actually win it (thanks again), but this year our competition is a national touring act that has 3 cds out and is funded and managed by Bootsy Collins. While my band has only been together about 2 years, and though we are doing really well, we can't stand a chance against their marketing $$$ and history.
All I am asking is that you go have a listen, each band in our genre has a myspace, and if it feels good to you then vote for Daughters & Sons. It isn't against the rules, their fans are all across the continent as well, plus some internationals. You can vote once with as many different emails that you have, it may not help us win but it might make the spread not so devestatingly huge!
We uploaded a sneak preview of a song on our upcoming album called "Hell Today" to help entice people to vote our way:

Hey, sorry I didn't see this until now, thanks! As it turned out we did lose to the national act, there was really no way to compete with a band that has their resources and longevity. But it was great to just be nominated and hopefully next year we will get nominated for best album. Thanks again to anyone who voted, I'm sure it at least made us look good to the people who were running the awards!
