Some names to keep an eye out for over the coming years are those who managed to get to the finals of the Smokerfreerockquest - as many of those musicians who have come to national prominence over the past few years have all been contestants in Smokefreerockquest.
One name in particular to take note of is of course that of the winner, The Jesse Sheehan who took out this years competition.
Still in awards mode today's featured release was compiled and released to celebrate the Silver Scrolls being held in Christchurch last week;
Release Of the Day
Chartdisc Volume II
CHART is proud to announce CHARTDISC Volume II - an APRA Silver Scroll Awards Special Edition CD sampler featuring a selection of Christchurch's finest alt-country, nu-folk artists.
Everything is here, from the road-hardened spirit of The Eastern, the delightful nu-folk of the Ragamuffin Children, Hera, Kim K and Flip Grater, combined with the energy of rockabilly upstart Lindon Puffin and the Transgressions with hefty servings of country heartache from The Unfaithful Ways and The Easy Hearts and edgy alt-country anti-heroes Von Klap and Delaney Davidson, to the indie-folk of Tim Chesney and the heartland remixes of Jody Lloyd and veterans The Bats yes, The Bats.
This selection of road songs has been collected to celebrate the 2009 Silver Scrolls being held in Christchurch for the first time.
Have a good one
