We would like to say a big "Thank You" to all the jurors who helped us, with their vote, compile the list of The Deli's Year End Best of NYC Emerging Artists.
The following Deli writers cast their vote as well: Andrew Spaulding, Erin O'Keefe, Nancy Chow, Paul Dunn, Ryan Henriquez, Liz Schroeter, Simon Heggie, Nicholas Palumbo, Joe Coscarelli, Lauren Piper, Charles Davis, Lindsey Goetz, Chloe Schildhouse.
Thank you to all the bands who participated to our poll either by submitting to the open contest or be simply being selected, and thanks to all the fans and Deli readers that animated our fans' poll.
NYC Deli Editor in Chief Paolo De Gregorio also voted as part of the jury (we don't really need to thank him, as he's writing this!). Many other scene makers and Deli writers were asked to vote and - for a reason or another - they didn't; we point this out because we want you all to realise that also this element (the missing votes) had a crucial influence on the results.

Which of these acts should be the next NYC Artist of the Month?
Well it seems like the sounds from the 80s are back in vogue, right? All the cheesy blips and the "housy" synths and the gasping vocals and the campy clothing and so on and on and on... Well you won't find all this in The Secret History's debut CD "The World That Never Was". You will find references to to great artists from that decade which followed a more personal and sincere musical path though. We are referring (for example) to the melancholic, beautiful and supremely blip free tunes of 10,000 Maniacs, or the daring, electric songs of The Throwing Muses, and their spin off super-dreamy project Belly. Besides the songwriting, what really hits you here is Lisa Ronson's voice - warm and strong, it confers character and personality to the band's elegant tunes through melodies that are never banal nor foreign. We also recommend you to check out the band members' previous project, "My Favorite", which probably failed to emerge because of an unfortunate name choice in this "Google Age", but that has recently garnered some post-mortem attention from music scene fat cats Pitchfork.com.
