Homegrown

First...congrats to Double Eleven, last week's Homegrown Picks winner! Kind of a low voting week, but they are the definitive winner.  You can hear Hard Rain on 99x this week. For our next round, it's a South/Central Texas Showdown...since I do have a lot of favorite bands from the Lonestar State...

Congrats to last week's winner...punk rockers The Rusty Shacklefords! You can hear "Mommy Gotta Tramp Stamp" on 99x this week! Now it's time to give a few of our previous contenders another shot at "fame"...so here we go! Shayliff - Someone So Good Double Eleven - Hard Rain Souls on Monday - Open Your Eyes Homegrown Picks of the Week (Week #16)

Great job on the voting last week!  More than 2,100 this time...and congrats to our winner Noyola!  You can hear the tune "Shaped to Break" this week on 99x.  Congrats, too, to Truffula Tree for coming in a very close second on this contest...

Pretty close contest last week...I was told I made it too difficult for voters. But we do have a winner...congrats to Flood the Masses!  You can hear "Our Last Hour" this week on 99x! Now we go back to some previous contenders who didn't quite get the votes to hit the mainstream airwaves...

Well, the votes were down a bit this past week...but we do have a definite winner...Congrats to Tap Dead Sinner!  Be listening for Everyday Tragedy on 99x THIS week!  And before I give our previous contenders another shot at getting some airplay, how about one more round -- on the HEAVY side this time...

Congrats to our locals, Irene & the Sleepers...last week's Picks winners!!  Listen for "Young Girls" on 99x this week!  Thanks to the runners-up -- Jessica Seven and Ducado Vega -- for sending their folks to the website to vote.  This week, it's two Louisiana bands versus one from East Texas.  ...

Congrats to Jonny Pecker, last week's winner!  You can hear "Drive-By Mustache" this week on 99x!  Now, it's time for the Ark-La-Tex showdown!! I've picked favorites from Louisiana (OK, TECHNICALLY they're based in Arizona...but my buddy Jon "Bubba" Stephenson just joined the band...

The votes weren't quite as high last week as the week before (by a long shot!!), but one band swept up the majority of the votes.  Congrats to locals Our Precious Demise (I think it might have been that amazing lady Cat on vocals that helped make that happen)...

Congratulations to locals Eye of Anger, last week's Homegrown Picks winners! It was another big voting week! You can hear Venerate the Violence on 99x all this week! Faint the Fiction and Saints Order, you put up a great fight...and we'll get you back in the contest soon...

Congrats to Lions May Cry, last week's round three winners - by an overwhelming margin!  You can hear Already Gone during the regular 99x rotation all this week!  Here we go with round four...two north Louisiana bands and one from Dallas, Texas...

It was VERY close...but I'd like to say congratulations to Trepid, the winner of last week's contest! Though the band is currently singer-less (sadly, Lana quit late last week), you can still hear Devil Girl in the regular rotation all this week...

First, congratulations to The Sunkissed Barrelabisca, the winner of the first Homegrown round! Listen for 'Far From Kingston' on 99x all this week!  To those of you who voted for Idle of the Peach and Remaining Anonymous -- don't worry!  We'll get them back in the rotation soon...
