Taking inspiration from the old Brat awards, this year’s event will be a real rock’n’roll party, crowning the winners of 13 award categories. Artrocker are best known for their honest guide to new music. To reflect this and involve music fans, this year’s Awards are open for public voting.

“The second annual Artrocker Awards will follow on from where the last one finished – at the bar,” says Marc Sallis, Artrocker Editor. “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."
