The Rosebuds named best "new" artist in NC?

Here's a little something I found funny, yet cool. The Rosebuds were just named the "Best New Indie Band" in North Carolina by The Phoenix Boston, an arts and entertainment publication in New England. It seems that they're a little behind in what Triangle residents and much of the rest of the country have known for a long time. It also makes you wonder if they don't realize the band have released fourth full-length albums on Merge Records. Either way, it's a nice nod for the band.

The Phoenix Boston also named one of my favorite soulful songstresses, Cary Ann Hearst, as the "Best New Indie Band" in South Carolina. This one makes a little more sense considering she hasn't had a lot of national exposure, though she deserves it. You can download two of her songs from Phoenix here.
