Since
the New
Year
rolled
in, the
Spring
Music
Festival
team has
traveled
across
Ontario
with our
entourage
of
judges,
looking
for the
top
up-and-coming
bands in
Ontario
and
we've
received
more
than we
bargained
for.
Over the
past
four
months
we've
visited
6
Ontario
cities,
rocked
out in 7
concert
venues,
hosted
more
than 20
Breakout
Band
Challenge's
and seen
over 100
great
bands.
Phew! |
|
|
|
Each
night we
chose a
winner
based on
our
point
scoring
system
which
was made
up of
items
like
singing,
band
cohesiveness,
audience
interaction
/
response,
musicianship,
etc. On
April
15th,
16th &
17th we
narrowed
down the
21
winners
to just
10
during
the
quarter
finals
and
they've
all left
a mark
on the
SMF Team
and
judges
with
their
catchy
hooks,
shredding
guitar
solos,
addictive
melodies,
and all
around
amazing
live
show.
Each of
the 10
bands
were
featured
during
the past
2 week’s
on Y108
FM,
where we
asked
Y108
listener’s
to vote
for
their
favourite
song
which we
uploaded
to the
Y108 web
site.
These
bands
were by
far the
cream of
the crop
as far
as
independent
talent
goes. |
|
|
|
Now it’s
down to
the 5
bands
that
received
the most
votes
based on
one vote
per
unique
email
address.
