Firstly, thanks to everyone that entered. The Pier and the judges were overwhelmed with the strong interest from all the bands that entered from all over the world - over 130 entries.
It was a tough job, but The Pier and the guest judges (Thanks - The Expendables, Dirty Heads, Passafire, John Brown's Body, Ballyhoo! and The B Foundation) came up with this digestible list of 30 bands.
For those that missed out this time round, take comfort this will become an annual event and we will be posting an Exposed news feature every Thursday on The Pier. Starting with your bands!
Lastly, support your local Reggae Rock band as there is a s@#tload of awesome groups out there in every region. You may just have to look a little harder for them and The Pier will continue to try and Expose as many of these bands as we have done since day one.
Enjoy this compilation and let's have a great 2010.
