Sound Off! Finalists Announced
posted by on January 17 at 16:35 PM
As reported in this week’s Underage column, EMP has announced the 12 finalists for Sound Off!, the annual underage band competition.
They almost winners are (drum roll…): Don’t Tell Sophie, For Years Blue, Halfbreed, the Oregon Donor, Dreamwright, Emi Meyer, Left at the Castle, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head, the Army Corps of Architects, Black Swade, the Freetown, and Skullbot.
There will be three rounds of semi-finals (groups of four bands will play the first three Saturdays in February), with the winning band from each semi-final round advancing to the finals taking place February 24th at the Sky Church.
Because all these bands are local and feature members who are 21 years old or younger (which is sorta my beat), and because many of them you’ve probably never ever heard of, I’m going to profile the whole lot of semi-finalists here in Line Out starting January 30th (four each week for the first three weeks). If you can’t wait until then, though, you can access all the band websites via www.emplive.org.
Damn, I must be getting old because every year I know less and less bands in this thing. I only know Skullbot and Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. They're rad tho.
