The 2010 Pure Rawk Awards for new, unsigned and breaking talent are now open and you can start casting your vote! Only you can decide between now and the awards ceremony …

The final voting is open now! keep checking back on www.purerawk.com for news and updates.

For those of you who don’t know about the Pure Rawk Awards, they have been described by BND Music Co as

“fast becoming the “underground” rock barometer in the UK”

Sometimes, awards nominations come from a panel of blokes in a suit who haven’t had their ear to a radio or even thought to turn on their PC to check out the latest band to add them on MySpace … let alone to stumble around with a pint, half cut in a stinky dive covered in torn stickers in the middle of the week just on the off chance that they’ll find something that’ll catch their ear. That’s why the awards are voted for by the people that have – you – without you rockers, there wouldn’t be bands like those you’ve voted for.

We are pleased to announce that this year’s Pure Rawk Awards will feature some brand new awards specifically designed to salute the grassroots level of unsigned and new music.

This years awards will be:

Band of the Year
New Band of the Year
Axe Hero of the Year
Frontperson of the Year

Album of the Year
Promoter of the Year (for dedication to unsigned and new bands) **NEW**
