You can vote online for the 2003 Boston Music Awards. The awards are in their 16th year and are taking place this year at the Wang Center on September 4th. Check out the list of nominees here.

Nominated bands that you may be interested in include Cave In, Dropkick Murphys, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Explosion, Damn Personals, Damone, Converge, Shadows Fall, Piebald, and the Lost City Angels. Of course, like all award shows there are some questionable categories involved (Cave In's nominated for debut album, old albums from the Bosstones and Piebald are up for 2003 awards, etc) but check it out nonetheless.
