Here Is Every Ballot Submitted for the 2018 Best New Band Poll

A peek at music-based democracy in action.

Savilá, WW's 2018 Best New Band. IMAGE: Abby Gordon.

Every year, in the spirit of transparency—and to make it perfectly clear that Best New Band is a poll, not an arbitrary list—we publish the ballots of every Best New Band voter. What follows is that list of voter names, titles and the bands or artists that they casted votes for, grouped into voters who chose to rank their nominees and those who opted to weight each vote equally.

If you are a voter and notices any mistakes pertaining to your particular ballot, please let me know by emailing bestnewband [at] wweek.com

Thanks for reading and, if you're name is on the list below, for your participation!
