Deli Readers,
The Deli KC's Best of 2014 Readers and Fans' Poll for local emerging artists is over, thanks to all those who cast their vote in support of the emerging local bands and artists in our list of nominees.
1. Kangaroo Knife Fight
Congratulations to The Deli’s 2014 KC Readers’ Choice artist,
Kangaroo Knife Fight (pictured above)! The four-piece rockers recently released its debut self-titled EP, which can be found below. We’ll be featuring them in an upcoming interview very soon. Until then, check out their tunes!

Before even playing its first show,
Yore has taken second place in our Readers’ Poll! This new project includes former members of
The Cherry Tree Parade,
Mother Culture, and
Gentleman Savage. Yore recently released its first video; keep your eyes peeled for a new single from them soon.

Coming in at third place is
The Blackbird Revue, the husband-and-wife duo whose folk pop melodies have been winning over audiences in KC and around the country (they’ve been featured on
The Voice and The Discovery Channel). The couple recently released a video in advance of a 2015 album.
Here’s a Q&A we did with them.
