Were they from Abbotsford, Mission, or Langley!?
Did they play Thrash, Metal-core, or their own brand of indie rock?
All aforementioned genres and locales were represented at the tenth and final night of CIVL’s Battle of the Valley, where three bands were all guaranteed at least $200 in Long and McQuade gift cards, and a chance to get their own Music Videos from Tractorgrease Multimedia, Mastering from Five Acres Studio, and a band photo shoot from Jayme Anne Photography.
The odds were hard to call. Of five judges, there was one three way tie, and each band won over at least one judge.
Third Place:
Abbotsford Thrash-phenoms Merciful Angel
Second Place:
Mission Metal-Core Maniacs The Nacaals
The Champions:
Langley's Derrival, who will play the Squamish Music Festival in August!
Pledge by calling 604.851.6322, online, or drop by the station (building C UFV, Abbotsford.) And get some great prizes in appreciation for it! Shirts! Records! The CIVL BIKE! It could all be yours.
Come out to our drive events. This Sunday -Independent Film Drive In, Punjabi Poetry Reading. Next Friday – Gala Show.
