Jack Daniel’s Rock Awards 2013

The Jack Daniel’s Annual Rock Awards are the country’s first and most prestigious music awards to honor achievements in the recording arts and support the Indian music community. Every year, a panel of jury members including artists, music label veterans and respected music journalists along with music enthusiasts from across the country vote for bands, producers and albums for their overall excellence in the recording industry.

In the past, the event has awarded the best that the Indian music scene has to offer with artists like Papon, The Raghu Dixit Project, Indus Creed, Scribe, Swarathma, Skyharbor, Pentagram and many of the Indian independent music scene’s most popular artists scoring awards at past editions.

The awards reflect how the alternative and rock music scene in the country has exponentially grown by introducing new categories such as best producer, best music venue and emerging band. The ever-increasing following for Indian metal made a compelling reason for a new category in 2012 to recognize the best metal bands in the country.

In the 9th edition of JD Annual Rock Awards 2013, Rolling Stone India will select emerging bands from Bengaluru, Delhi and Pune and invite them to perform at Hard Rock Café in each city. On the basis of this performance, one band will win a nomination in the Best Emerging Band of the year category. Rolling Stone India will also nominate other bands from the rest of India into this category.
