March Bandness 2012 Champion: GODHUNTER

AND THE WINNER IS....


Congratulations to GODHUNTER for winning this year's March Bandness tournament. It started with 64 bands and only one was left standing. CLAMFIGHT battled to the end but GODHUNTER eventually had too much firepower and was able to hold them off. I hope everyone had fun with this contest as its main purpose is to give the bands involved a little more much needed exposure. Most importantly, please support these bands by purchasing their music, going to their shows and spreading the word. You can follow these and the many other bands we feature by liking us on Facebook. Once again a big thanks goes out to The Soda Shop for helping out with the tournament.
