UPDATE: In the last day or Food Will Win the War has surged ahead of Doco by a 73%-27% margin, which leads us to suspect that FWWtW fans have discovered the majesty of ToR. The question now is whether Doco loyalists will strike back. We’ll know soon – polls close at midnight Thursday. Listen and get your votes in…

In last week’s match, Boulder’s Rose Hill Drive eliminated Antony & the Johnsons by a margin of 62%-38%. We’re not sure if this is an upset or not since A&tJ have a much higher international profile, but congratulations to both bands for a fine showing. RHD moves on to round 2, where they’ll face the winner of this week’s contest.
Our first contestant, from Raleigh, NC, please welcome the very hip, rootsy blues/punk/funk of Doco.

Fortunately Doco is a strong enough band that I wasn’t forced to face an ethical dilemma in voting for it. Like it a lot. Food Will Win the War intrigues as well.
food will win the war!
I went with Food, they were more interesting. Doco is too “jam bandish” for me.
Doco is jam bandish, no doubt. But they can play. Trevor Booth is one of the best guitarists at his age I’ve ever heard.
