All Four Finalists Set for Mid-Atlantic Band Battle 6
Posted by Matt Basheda / Friday, January 13th, 2012
The results are in. The first round of Jammin Java’s Mid-Atlantic Band Battle 6 is over, and the four finalists have been chosen.
We brought you the first two earlier this week; here are Wednesday’s and Thursday’s winners.
Wednesday saw The Dirty Jacks rule the stage with their progressive rock. The quintet from Rockville, Md. knits spacey guitar lines with upbeat vocals. Check ‘em out:
And last night’s finalist is Buster Brown and the Get Down. These super-talented dudes own their sound with utmost confidence–a blend of funk jams and even some hip-hop. This stuff is infectious. I listened to the following song once, and immediately had the bass line stuck in my head, in a good way.
So there you have it. Those two bands, along with Brightwork and Kill the Alarm, will compete on Feb. 17 in the finals. The winner gets their own headlining show at Jammin Java, among other rad swag. And don’t worry, we’ll be there front-and-center for the always-epic final showdown.
