http://www.nuvo.net (excerpt from) Seven eclectic acts compete in BOB finals by Danica Johnson August 20, 2003 The Battle of the Bands finals features a lineup that couldn't be more eclectic - unless it had been handpicked with that purpose in mind. Seven bands will play at the Vogue this Thursday, and there are seven styles represented: doom, ska, rap, rasta metal, modern, Brit and fusion rock. With half the bands being in their buzz-worthy infancy and the others being reputable staples, the outcome of this contest is best left unpredicted. Blood clots are no match for the doominess of Devil To Pay. Steve Janiak's brush with mortality this year almost put the doom rocker out of commission. Although they aren't against incurring some sympathy votes, Devil To Pay has an advantage as being the only band to return from last years BoB II finals. They rock hard and heavy in their black T-shirts and are recommended for fans of Queens of the Stone Age and their predecessor band Kyuss. Ask Steve nicely and he'll probably show you his skin graft.
