Vote your favorites for the PLUG: Independent Music Awards

The nominees for the annual PLUG: Independent Music Awards have been announced and you can cast your ballot for your picks online. The website describes the awards program as:

PLUG is about the independent music community coming together to recognize our own. We're fans from every walk of the music world who gather together each year to celebrate these artists who live and flourish in the margins. PLUG is about the artists who inspire and the music that disrupts the artistic and corporate mediocrity that dominates our culture. Some of the artists on the ballot each year are well known to us, but most all are no where close to the household names we wish they were.

Among the nominees in various categories are Strike Anywhere, NOFX, Fucked Up, Daughters, Converge, the Evens, the Thermals and others in the Punk Album Of The Year category; the Hold Steady and Yo La Tengo for Indie Rock Album Of The Year; and Isis, the Melvins, the Sword and Bleeding Through for Metal Album Of The Year.
.

Voting will run through January, you can make your picks at the PLUG website
