The Fond du Lac County Fair's Battle of the Bands 2008 can now be labeled a complete success! I had the pleasure of judging this year's Battle on Sunday and it was a great time by all. Six bands rocked the sound stage from Noon until 6 and there wasn't a dud the whole time. Often I've noticed at various battles that there's usually at least one stinker that just embarrasses themselves and everyone else in attendance. This was certainly not the case by any means. All 6 bands showed up to entertain and play some great tunes. I've got a run-down here of who played, where they placed, and a link to their website so you can check out more on them.

6th Place - Chaos Grey

5th Place - The Nights Before

4th Place - Pudge

3rd Place - Collysion

2nd Place - Rictus Grin

1st Place - Pasiflora

Be sure to support your local music. Without you going out to shows, they can't make it happen. Remember, all your favorite bands were once local bands at some point!

With that, we'll dive into your Web Waster:

Soundtrack.MTV - Remember the days when MTV was actually playing music videos? Yeah, it's hard for me to recall too. But believe it or not, they still play some new music, even if it isn't in video form. When you're watching Made, The Hills, Real World, True Life or anything else, you might notice there is some good music in the background. Now you can find out the artist, song, and more by checking out this website!
