March Bandness Is Coming

 

March is coming along and with it, besides the spring weather, college basketball starts their playoffs in the form of March Madness. Well in collaboration with The Soda Shop, Heavy Planet will be putting together our own March Madness called March Bandness. We've picked 64 bands and will have an elimination until we find the best band. The best part, everyone that visits will have a chance to vote for their favorites. Voting begins Sunday February 27th, 2011.

All bands listed are former featured "New Band To Burn One To" bands. We've divided up the bands into 4 different divisions, stoner, doom, sludge and psychedelic. Each band was ranked by the number of fans on Reverbnation. The match ups line up like this:
