Congratulations to Junkyard Girls, Dark Circles, and Resident Scout – the three artists who were selected from Sonicbids for our Band of the Year Poll.
Junkyard Girls (top picture) could be described as a darker, more ambient blend of Antony and the Johnsons; Dark Circles is a folk duo that could be compared to an equally as relaxing Jimmy Buffet, while Resident Scout (bottom picture) has more of an indie vibe, 90’s alternative thing going on with some ska thrown in to make things more interesting….like Foo Fighters meets Cold War Kids. It was a tough choice, but all three of these bands stood out to us with their originality. They will be moving on to the next stage, as well as the ten bands who were selected in the Open Submissions category last week. Keep checking back for developments with our Best of Nashville Emerging Artists Poll! – Erin Manning
