Only a mere matter of weeks after many other people have done so, we are quite proud to announce that several of the bands and artists we work with here at Sub Pop Records were nominated for 2006 Plug Independent Music Awards. Of course, we think very highly of these folks and their records (and, naturally, ourselves…), and feel quite strongly that you should vote for them all (and us, mostly us).

Here’s where you can vote!
