...Battle of the Bands showed, students don't need Chumbawamba or Sister Hazel and a beer in tow to enjoy themselves. Each band tapped into something different but always something visceral. There were hands clapping along to the grassroots rock of the Voodoo Crabs, chuckles and pointed fingers abundant during Depeche Mode, limits tested by the dense sonic experimentation of This Is My Rifle, emotions wrangled by the sugary-sour pop treat offered up by Blue Wail.
