These bands all got their start by winning the annual Fox Seeds (Cfox is a radio station) battle of the bands competition in Vancouver. Over 1,500 bands enter each year, those 1,500 are paired down to 20. Those 20 play live shows over two weeks till three winners are announced. The winners play a gig and one of the bands wins the top prize of a tour and thousands of dollars in gear and studio time. I was at the final gig, and oddly enough, the band that won the top prize was the band that got the poorest reaction from the crowd (I was later told their sound fit the radio station format the most). Two bands killed it, one band had the crowd falling asleep. One of the bands that killed it, were Static In The Stars who on New Years Eve got to open for Steel Panther. They just shot their first video and it's worth checking out. It's a great Melodic Rock song!
