After a brief winter break, our monthly music meetings have returned with a brand new round of submissions from both our staff and our fans. Our e-mail ([email protected]) is always open, and we recently went through a whole pile of submissions and found the cream of the crop to bring to our staff meeting. The team was able to listen to the selections, as well as a handful of selections that our writers co-signed and submitted themselves, and from there, we voted on our favorite picks. We typically have anywhere from three to six candidates, and this month, we've got five-- three from our staff and two strong ones culled from our e-mails.

We're pleased to highlight a couple of Canadian counterparts in Mike Shabb (Montreal) and Shanuka (Scarborough), as well as a Pennsylvania native, singer Bairi, a Bostonian in our e-mailed submission Tyler Loyal and finally, Detroit-based Eldric Laron.

Scroll to the very end to vote on your favorite artist from this month's selection, and stay tuned for another round submissions later in March.
