ROCK: High School Battle of the Bands (1/4)

Published by Frank De Blase on Jan 02, 2008

With the information super duper highway and all, more kids can have a band, record that band, book that band, pimp that band, and get closer to the dream than previously ever imagined. And with Water Street Music Hall's battle of the high school bands, young bands get to live that dream now... or see how far away it really is. These battles are encouraging as you see the frothy enthusiasm on stage. But they are also about as close as you will get to pure, unadulterated music. Devoid of pretense or motive, you'll see bands with nothing more than an insane urge to play, no matter how far it takes them.
