he eleventh annual awards season for the ROCKWIRED READER'S POLL AWARDS has come to a close and all of the votes have been tallied. There were so many artists and bands who made the year 2017 a remarkable year here at ROCKWIRED.COM despite the challenges our publication faced that year and the loss of our flipbook magazine. But that was 2017. 2018 is shaping up to be a much more prosperous year with traffic reaching an all time high since we made the decision to post articles directly to  the website. Helping in the upswing in vistors to the site was the voting for the 2018 ROCKWIRED READER'S POLL AWARDS. This year, BOBAFLEX was the big winner with 4 READER'S POLL AWARDS for BEST BAND, BEST LP for the their album ELOQUENT DEMONS, and BEST SONG and BEST MUSIC VIDEO for the single LONG TIME COMING. Rounding out the winners of the 2018 ROCKWIRED READER'S POLL AWARDS are MILITIA VOX who won BEST FEMALE ARTIST o the strength of her single NYCTOPHILIA and SILVERTUNG who won BEST RECORDING (EP) for their live acoustic EP LIGHTEN UP. Also, rocker JACOB CADE walked away with BEST MALE ARTIST on the strenght of his single WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM. Votes came from all over the Continental U.S. and North America. ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE would like to congratulate the winners and thank everyone who took the time to vote.
