Well, all of the votes have been tallied and the results are in… The Deli Chicago is proud to announce that their emerging artist for 2009 is I Fight Dragons! They not only won the hearts of our readers, but received several voters from our jury of experts. In 2009 we saw them release their debut EP, Cool is Just a Number, create an army of fans, and rock out on retro Nintendo controls.
In second play we have the electro-dance-rockers Hey Champ who recently put out their compilation album/mixtape Winner’s Circle. They made their biggest impact this year with their remix skills.
On third place band is Netherfriends who not only released their latest EP Calling You Out this year, but constantly toured the country.
We would like to thank our sponsors, the jury, all of the bands in the poll, and of course you the reader and voter.

Which of these acts should be our next Chicago Artist of the Month?
After releasing two well-received ep's Darling is ready to unveiling their debut LP, Lights That Last Forever. Darling formed back in 2003, but aside from singer/songwriter Jeff Schneider they are a completely different band today. The trio plays their brand of indie pop and have playing in this current configuartion since 2006. The mixture of Nick Voss' rythemic bass and the driving force of Don Ogilive's drummer make this release sonically compelling. On their full-length debut the band attempts to tell a story in a way. This is very much a story about dealing with life and all of its dreams and very realities. The album opens with a "Heart Attack" and ends with the hope of coming together in "Gathered". Musically, Darling has never sounded better. Lights That Last Forever will be released oncolor vinyl, digipak, and mp3 on Sept 28th by Cardboard Sangria.
