Mona Win MTV's Brand New For 2011 Vote!

The Nashville based rockers are your pick for the year ahead...

Indie rockers Mona have been voted as winners of BlackBerry Presents MTV’s Brand New for 2011, taking the crown from last year's title holder Justin Bieber.

The Nashville, Tennessee based four-piece, who play 'romantic rock'n'roll' and have drawn comparisons to Kings Of Leon and The Strokes, polled an impressive 35% of the vote.

Nick Brown, Mona's frontman said, “We’d like to thank our fans for voting for us - we really appreciate it.”

Do It Like A Dude star Jessie J came second, while LA's Far East Movement will no doubt be partying on their G6 after scoring a very respectable third place.

Willow Smith and Clare Maguire made up the rest of the top 5, while the other nominees to make it into the top 10 were Wretch 32, Labrinth, Ruff Diamondz, The Vaccines and Jamie Woon.

BlackBerry Presents MTV’s Brand New for 2011 winners Mona and finalists Jessie J, Ruff Diamondz and Clare Maguire played special shows at London's KOKO for MTV last week along with headliners Chase & Status and Tinchy Stryder, and you'll be able to watch highlights from their sets on MTV Music at the following times:
