We made it into the semi-final round of this thing. If y'all had time to click a button in our favour and help us get closer to $20,000, that would be awesome :P

All you have to do is go to our CBC Music page and click the "Vote For This Artist" button. And you can vote every day. Voting ends Sunday, so feel free to be regular!

all right I voted three times. what exactly is this for?

i mean, that's great that you're in the top 250 or whatever, but who gets the 20k?

Well, we made it to the semi-finals, but lost out and did not move to the final round. At this point, I think there are like 25 bands left in it. There is another voting round, at which time it gets narrowed down to 10. Then CBC's panel of celebrity judges take over to crown the winner.

I can't remember who the judges are, but this is Canada, and it is CBC, so probably like, Bruno Gerussi, Al Waxman, Narduar The Human Serviette, Anne Murray, maybe that french pilot bear from Sesame Street....

Still… cool that you got as far as you did. And the tunes are genuinely good.
