Here we are with Group 16 – the final group to battle in the preliminary rounds.  Be sure to invite people for Round 2, when the voting gets tougher and the rules will change slightly (less time to vote, etc.), but for now, vote on these four bands: 

Ecstatic Sunshine – Freckle Wars (Download – Streaming)
Vigilantes of Love/Bill Mallonee – Blister Soul (Download – Streaming)
Fine China – The Unsuccessful (Download – Streaming)
Lorien – You Got Me Down (Download – Streaming)

Download the MP3s if you need ’em, but judge the artists and not just the song I put up.

Here are the six matches to vote on:

1) Ecstatic Sunshine vs. Vigilantes of Love
2) Ecstatic Sunshine vs. Lorien
3) Ecstatic Sunshine vs. Fine China
4) Vigilantes of Love vs. Lorien
5) Vigilantes of Love vs.  Fine China
