X96 Live and Local Volume Four runners’ up.

I sure had a tough time picking 80 minutes' worth of music for this year's compilation from 80 entries!

80 minutes, 80 entries. How ironic, but there was just enough room for 20 bands (eighty minutes of music time) for the X96 Live and Local v. 4 CD. If I had my way, I’d have a double disk with 40 bands on there. I was almost pulling my hair out trying to pick just a few of the many talents in Utah. At least I am thankful that Utah is saturated with great bands. I want you to check out these songs, and perhaps, if plausible, download them as an extension to the new compilation. They were just as deserving to be on the CD as the 20 I picked:

Cavedoll “Mexico” http://www.myspace.com/cavedollband
The Happies “Chapel Hill Street” http://www.myspace.com/thehappies
Nolens Volens “Bat” http://www.myspace.com/nolensvolens
Big Gun Baby “Breakdown” http://www.myspace.com/biggunbaby
Bleary “Grey” http://www.myspace.com/blearybleary
Calibra “Ted Bundy” http://www.myspace.com/calibratheband
SPORK “Bad Plus One” http://www.myspace.com/spork
The Mollies “Boyfriend In A Coma” http://www.myspace.com/themolliesmusic
Purr Bats “ Feroucious Firebreathing Frou Frous” http://www.myspace.com/purrbats

Peace out,
