Who will be Colorado's next breakout band?

The founders of Next Big Sound believe the Boulder-based tech company can use online chatter to uncover the next big breakout bands. To test their system, we asked them to track down the most buzzed-about Colorado acts. And here are the results: the top 24 bands listing Colorado on their profile pages that are scoring increasing amounts of online activity. (Keep in mind that this breakdown is based on recent increases in fans, plays and what-have-you, not total amount of online attention, which is why local superstars such as the Flobots and the Fray don't make the cut.)
