Every year, EMP's Sound Off! competition showcases emerging stars in the all-ages music scene. Previous winners have included The Lonely Forest, Dyme Def, Sol, Kithkin, Brothers from Another, Manatee Commune, Fauna Shade, Schoolyard Heroes, Tomten, and Brite Futures, just to name a few. Last week, they kicked off the first of the semi-finals with COSMOS winning round one, and Jazzy Tee as runner-up. (Runners up will be entered into the Wildcard Pool, and one of the three Wildcard bands will be selected by the EMP Youth Advisory Board to compete in the finals.)
Round Two features Animal Camera, Crews, Paris Alexa, and Travis Thompson.
