The Winners
Featured Artist: Another Cynthia
Searching for a refreshing musical hybrid? Look no further. Another Cynthia blends danceable beats with indie rock textures, producing intelligent lyrics side-by side hook laden melodies. With a live show that’s teeming with rabid fans- and reportedly more fun than a trip to the zoo- this act is a winner.
Featured Artist:
Element 57
Most sounds circulating the modern rock airwaves these days are one-dimensional at best. Not with Element57. Plenty of bands are capable of writing memorable riffs, but this one infuses their thunder with colorful melodies, atypical instrumentation, and form that goes beyond the predictable verse-chorus. With such a broad range of influences, this quintet has produced a very diverse album that’s surely worth a listen.
Featured Artist: Sons of Sirens
If they really are the sons of sirens, they didn’t fall far from the tree. On the acoustic rocker “Imaginary Sea,” these Portland based enticers tempt listeners to embrace the seas of change no matter how sharp the shoreline may be. With such a high caliber of contemplative storytelling, Sons of Sirens is sure to have you exploring your own imaginary waters
