The Dylan Paul Band (Round 1 winner)
Actor Dylan Paul's booming voice wasn’t simply made for the stage—it was made for actual pop music: the kind that Maroon 5 and Justin Timberlake sizzle. It’s so catchy that you might want to hit him in the face—and that’s cool with him, as long as you get on the dance floor. With a six-piece band currently backing him, Paul is on a quest to "get some emaciated, indie-rock-worshiping scenesters to shake their asses."
Vegetable (Round 2 winner)
Vegetable is a funky rock band from just down the block. Influences include rich top-soil, direct sunlight and plenty of water. OK, not really. Maybe you should just go see them play…
The Dactyls (Round 3 winner)
After three years of lineup changes and hiatuses, The Dactyls (formerly Terrordactyls) have been mad busy lately with the addition of drummer John Momberg and extreme bro-ductivity from twins Nick and John Bergwell. Guitarist Brendan Costello rounds out the quartet, which channels the glory days of Pavement and Archers of Loaf with their own special vanilla/chocolate twist.
Guse (wildcard)
Guse formed in November 2005 following months of free-form jamming in a Lawrence basement. After becoming familiar with each others' styles (electric blues guitar, psychedelic synths, funky slap bass), the group began composing its arsenal of “progedelic, face-annihilating sludge rock.”
