Once again it’s on. The finalists have been announced for KTCL’s annual Hometown for the Holidays promotion. Although some are understandably loathsome of such battle of the bands types of gigs, Hometown for the Holidays is a great gift to the scene. Is there any other city in the country with a radio station that creates this kind of exposure for its scene, putting no less than ten local acts into rotation for a few weeks? Exactly. Even if a band doesn’t win, it wins. And when it wins, it wins big (see 2011’s winner, Churchill, which recently joined the roster of Octone Records, and 2010’s winner, Air Dubai, which has reportedly inked a deal with Hopeless Records). This year, there are a handful of returning contenders from last year, including My Body Sings Electric, last year’s runner-up, but there are also a bunch of fresh new faces. Keep reading for this year’s finalists.
