Vote Now at the BOOM Website!

Congratulations Week 2 winners:
Intent to Sell

Welcome to the ninth installment of Artvoice’s Battle of Original Music—a contest we call BOOM, for short. Visit boom.artvoice.com to listen to our first contestants, Intent to Sell and Tugboat. Then, vote for the band you prefer. The winning act gets to play at our first Live BOOM Showdown at Nietzsche’s on January 16. That night, audience members will choose their favorite band. That band will go on to compete in our BOOM Grand Finale at the Tralf Music Hall on June 6, 2015 for a chance to win $5,000! It’s easy and free to enter! Visit boom.artvoice.com.

Thanks to our Partners in supporting local music, Alternative Buffalo 107.7. Be sure to Check out “Localized” Sundays from 8-9pm on Alt Buffalo. Good luck to our competitors, and may the best band win.

Special holiday scheduling note: Because of the Christmas and New Year's holiday, Artvoice's last issue of the year will hit the streets a day early on Wednesday, December 24. That means polls for our Week 3 battle will be shortened by a day, so voting will open on Thursday the 18th and close at the end of the day Monday the 22nd at midnight.

Our first issue of the new year will hit the streets on Thursday, January 8th, so our Week 4 battle will be extended and the polls will remain open through the holidays - opening Wednesday the 24th, and closing end of the day Wednesday, January 7th, at midnight.
