Artrocker Awards

Artrocker has announced its second awards show, after launching the Artrocker Awards last year. Voting in the various categories opened this morning, and the prizes will be handed out at the Sebright Arms in London on 7 Dec.

Artrocker Editor Marc Sallis told CMU: “The second annual Artrocker Awards will follow on from where the last one finished – at the bar. The Artrocker Awards are about the music, the bands and giving the industry and the public a great event with a line-up that will recall the heady days of The Brats and inject some much needed drunken fun and rock n roll back into the industry. It’s rock n roll in its simplest and rawest form”.
