The Silent Years Make it to Round Four...

of the Spin Artist of the Year Contest. Why this contest is still going on when we are already nearly 3 months into 2007, I have no clue but the news that one of our favourite groups are in the final four is pretty exciting. The Silent Years are up against Boys Like Girls while The Rewinds vs. Sam Roberts Band. You can go vote now.

Spin is giving a lot of love to the bands in our Spring Fling showcase actually. Locksley have an adorable full page photoshoot and article in this month's issue.

Speaking of Spin, they named O'death their artist of the day on the 20th. O'death, the little band that could. They have just been signed to Gigantic Records and all those heading to SXSW can catch them in the label's showcase there. Did I ever tell you that I used to be Greg O'death's managing editor on our high school literary magazine? Um not to brag or nothing, but we won the top prize for best HS literary magazine in the country that year...I'm just saying.
