I would love to be involved in this battle but am a solo performer, am I eligible?

If so I have a few places you can see and hear my material, including a “bedroom cameo” (posted to youtube.com) of my original song “Through Your Fingers.”

I have a list of original songs and the video I speak of at http://www.reverbnation.com/tommylourdes and would be more than happy to provide anything else you might need upon request, including a new song performed in color, or whatever you like or think works best.

If I need a band, I can make that happen as well in short notice (8

Thanks,
Tommy

This is a GREAT opportunity for Original bands to get the break they need since we dont get any because the clubs want “cover or tribute” bands. No matter who you pic if not us its great you are giving LOCAL original bands this shot.

Here is my bands info:

The best opportunity for CT musicians in a long time! There’s a lot of talent up here in this little state… Let’s do this!

Pop-Country-Soul artist, CT born and raised: Michael Chenkus Bio, music, and picture links below. Original band complete with some killer pedal steel and rock grooves.

Take your pick… Music and Video of live concert are here:

My Vote is for Michael Chenkus. Not only is he incredibly talented, he’s also incredibly humble and deserves this. VOTE FOR MIKE!

Michael Chenkus! Just joined him on FB he’s a great CT artist

One more vote for Michael Chenkiss!

I vote for Michael Chenkus!! He’s an extraordinary talent!

Michael Chenkus has my vote!

Hope I’m doing this twice? Anyway, I definetely vote for Michael Chenkus

Michael is an incredibly gifted and talented singer/songwriter who truly loves his craft. His words and melodies leave you wanting more. This would be a outstanding opening act for Bon Jovi and will no doubt leave the Mohegan audience wanting more as well.

Michael Chenkus is great. His music is amazing and his voice is one of a kind. Truly one in a million.

My name is Matthew Carlson and I am also a solo performer and am interested in entering the contest. I have a youtube channel and a music myspace brimming with material and different examples of my flexibility and versatility when it comes to original music.

All bio information and photos should be covered on the myspace page.

So I see folks throwing votes down, but is that what is going on here? I am thinking the 96.5 crew is just going to make the call on the bands to play.. Either way, I am just curious now, I mean Steve Dunn looks like his fans are pretty serious! Chenkus too, I don’t wanna get mixed up in a riot or anything (8

Have a great weekend everyone!

You are correct… Like it says in the description above, the staff here at the station will be picking the 4 bands to play next Wednesday.

Thanks Brian, very good to know.

The Steve Dun Band Rocks! they have been on the Channel 3 10 am morning show, they have won a battle of the bands contest at Mohegan Sun, They have a great show! Check them out at Stevedunmusic.com You would do well to include them in your contest

The McLovins submitted Tokyo Tea last night to the email address. http://www.TheMclovins.com http://www.facebook.com/themclovins http://www.youtube.com/user/drummercl#p/a/u/2/aeHGdXsNz6A
Come to the McLovins show Saturday Night in Hartford at Black Eyed Sally’s!!! 10 pm

The Mclovins. A super trio, all the guys are still in high school (!), play very solid progressive jam, and they know how to rock. For a trio they are extremley loud and powerful and ultra-clean sound, very professional and maintain a solid touring schedule.

http://themclovins.com/fr_index.cfm

the McLovins ROCK! None of the other bands can do what these guys can do. the best guitarist in the state and they’re half the age of all the other bands. They’re going nowhere but up. Jump on board now

The McLovins, the future of Rock.

ARTICLE 19 SHOULD GO ALL THE WAY!!!! LOVE YOU BOYS <3

I saw The McLovins recently. Pure energy. They deserve a shot.

The Mclovins will rock the house.

Mclovins are insane, they are some of the most talented kids i know.

Article 19, AWESOME local band!!!

THE MCLOVINS!!!

The McLovins: They make lots of money and women love them.

Hey everyone!! Best luck to all the bands!!! Here’s mine

A19 Live at Mohegan Sun Casino:

A19′s Official MySpace Page:
http://www.myspace.com/article19music

GO BON JOVI!!!!

The McLovins are amazing! :]

The MCLOVINS!!!

thank you!!! lets do this!!!!

The McLovins! We had them come up to Keene State in the fall and they rocked the place and really got the crowd going! Great group of guys, and awesome parents!

Article 19 deserves this, those dudes are such a great live show

McLovins will rock the house guaranteed

MCLOVINS!! Saw them in NYC and they tore the *@#$ apart! The only problem I could foresee with picking the McLovins is if Jon Bon Jovi happens to watch the set, his face may melt and they’ll have to cancel the show. Well, at least the McLovins could fill in for the rest of the time, so all will be okay in the end.

ARTICLE 19…LOVE THEM!!!!!!

If you want an amazing band to open for Bon Jovi, look to ARTICLE 19 to put on a stellar live performance!!

Hey everyone! Best of luck to ALL the bands… here’s mine

A19 in the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun Casino:

The McLovins! Great band, awesome sound.

ARTICLE 19…LOVE THEM!!!!!!!

Article 19 is a sick band! They definitely deserve this spot! Good luck guys!

i sure hope article 19 has entered as they are a great band from Ct and their original music is outstanding- I am planning on going to the Bon Jovi show and they would be a great addition to it!!!

Article 19 ! They deserve this opportunity. They are an incredible band. Great original music and awesome presence on stage!!!!!!!!!

ARTICLE 19 ROCKS!!!!! WHAT ROCK TRULY MEANS!!!! LOVE THEM!!!!

McLovins are simply IN-credible. Talented far beyond their years, and DAMN- the energy they bring is off the charts. Gotta pick the MCLOVINS!!!

The McLovins are EXACTLY the type of band that Bon Jovi has a reputation for opening doors for new, upcoming bands. SIGN THESE GUYS!!

Article 19 deserves this they are so talented and very entertaining! http://www.myspace.com/article19music

Definitely the McLovins. Love them.

ARTICLE 19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my, it would be so wonderful to see my TWO favorite groups in the same evening.

“Love ya Article 19″ Go Go Go Go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Article 19 is the band you want…..great sound !!!!

The McLOVINS!!! These “kids” are insanely talented & amazingly entertaining. In the dictionary under virtuoso it says “The McLovins”

vote for Progmatic love yall good luck

THe McLOVINS!!! These “kids” are insanely talented & amazingly entertaining. In the dictionary under virtuoso it says “The McLOVINS”

Progmatic!

Article 19 rocks.

No one better, no one close to Article 19…as good as it gets in CT

MCLOOOOVINNNSSSSSSSS definitely!!! they are SOOO amazing live and put on a really good show

Article 19 all the way!

Article 19 is the best!

Vote Progmatic

Article 19 – AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mclovins would be the best choice! they wont disapoint!

Without a doubt- Progmatic. Live, the energy grabs your soul, hangs on and leaves you thinking, “Wow, what happened to me, more, please…” The lead gets into this zone, it’s amazing to watch. I highly recommend you use these guys, they are not your average local band, they’re unique and focused on their goals. No flashy gimmicks, but high quality. Just call them and be done with it, you’ll be glad you did.

The McLovins bring the house down everytime they play!
Crowd favorite.

McLovins all the way! So young and so much promise

Imagine a band that the members of Phish support and go out of their way to go to see when the boys are in the area playing. Page McConnell, turned up recently to see band members Jake, Jeff & Jason play at Nectars, Burlington, Vermont. The chemistry between these 15 and 16 year olds is electrifying.
Any opportunity for these kids to get recognition by opening up for Bon Jovi would be an act of pure common sense. Their all original material is magnificent, the beat, groove and talent makes the crowd shake their heads with incredibility, some with huge smiles and tears in their eyes. They’re fans are serious and there is a lot of the McLovins live music to find on YouTube. Oh and BTW, they just happen to be from Connecticut.

Article 19- hands down best band in CT! They have the best live show of any band in this state.

Vote for Progmatic!!

Steve Dunn Band has my vote!!!

The McLovins fkn ROCK so hard, so much talent and only room to grow… if you put the mclovins on to open for bon jovi, i would definitely come to see them. those other bands can’t even compete… go with the McLovins!

Forget Paris is one of the greatest bands in CT! Perfect style to open for Bon Jovi and I know they will rock the house! They are personable and fun on top of being great musicians with radio-play original music!

I second Forget Paris! They are so great! Listen to their music!

http://www.myspace.com/forgetparis

Progmatic!

I hate Article 19, sorry, very annoying sound… I like Steve Dunn Band, Forget Paris and Programatic

Article 19 would be my choice

The McLovins for sure. When they play it becomes magical. They have evolved because of their fans. They were listed as the best cover band of the whole GATHERING OF THE VIBES according to RELIX magazine. Their covers are great and they make them their own, but their originals are breathtaking.

Well it looks like we got a real pressure cooker going here..
I just want to say to everyone good luck with the band of your choice getting into the battle. You guys should throw your support into getting these bands onto the Warped Tour via Reverbnation.com…then at least your votes would count towards something.. four bands will be chosen from the area to play on the Ernie Ball stage when it comes into Hartford as well as NY and Mass. I am shooting for the San Diego venue on 6/24, so if anyone is already in that battle, let me know and I will vote for you: contact me by leaving a comment at http://www.battleofthebands.com/tommylourdes

Hello, I wanted you to know how much my family and I love Article 19. They are the best.

progmatic!!!!

Forget Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Progmatic!!

The MCLOVINS. Listed as best overall cover band at THE GATHERING OF THE VIBES by Relix magazine. Their covers are great and they make them their own, but their originals are magical. You would be wise to give them a chance. It would be a win win for everyone. Especially the fans.

Do these comments even mean anything???? NO

Article 19 is the best band around!!!!!! The guys have a high engery top qulaty show and know how to get the crowed pumped when they “Bring Down the House”!!!!!

McLovins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARTICLE 19!!! They are (by far) the best band in CT!

progmatic

I vote for “Article 19″
What a team that will be!!!!!

if you pick anyone other than the mclovins, you would be doing a great injustice.

Seriously, pick the mclovins!

Progmatic is the best Band!!! Hands Down!!!

The McLovins – guaranteed to be a good time. Amazing original song writers with all the talent in the world. My wife and I see them every chance we get and they are so much fun. Incredible growth in the last year and a half with no end in sight. Check out their Conundrum album and find them on itunes. You can also hear music on their website – themclovins.com and they are all over youtube.

The MCLOVINS!!!!!!!!!!1

I love Forget Paris, they will win

Article 19….they are the best band around!!! Original music that rocks!!!

Forget Paris is the best band! They deserve this chance!

MCLOVINS ALL THE WAY!!!

This my vote for Progmatic!!!

“Hate” is a strong word I wish all the bands the best!!!

I LOVE FORGET PARIS. Their original songs are amazing, I actually listen to them in the car…something I do not do for most friend’s bands… haha

http://www.myspace.com/forgetparis

Here’s an HD version posted to youtube.. Good luck everybody!

Warm it UP! with some MCLOVIN !!!!!

Progmatic !!!!!

Lots of great bands in Ct. BUT the BEST original band IS ARTICLE 19. They have earned this spot with their energy and talent. They would compliment Bon Jovi and provide the opening energizing show performance that gets the crowd going. You can see that in all their videos!!! Good luck Article 19 !!!

The MCLOVINS. Killed it at Vibes last year. Album released last year, enough material for a new album. Playing at snow.down 2010, Relix Top bands to watch in 2010, Infinity Hall in May 2010, etc. These guys are young and talented beyond their years. They appeal to all ages and have a sound that makes you drop your jaw. May be the best band out of CT in many years.

McLovins!!!!!!!!!!!, They are awesome!

Michael Chenkus would be a perfect fit musically to open for Bon Jovi. Don’t believe me, then go to I Tunes and listen for yourself.

Article 19! Hands down.

THE MCLOVINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget Paris is the best! They have the best original songs of any band out there!

ARTICLE 19…THEY ARE REALLY GOOD!!!!!

trust me, you want Forget Paris. They are such great musicians. Their music is hot and they love what they do! They more than deserve this chance for sure!

PROGMATIC!!!!

http://www.PROGMATICBAND.com

ARTICLE 19-without a doubt. They are the best CT band to open for Bon Jovi!!

The MCLOVINS are sick, they would be a great choice

PROGMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I’m concerned this is just going to end up with Bon Jovi closing for The McLovins.

I love Forget Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great muscians, great original songs, singable, fun, talented, what else can I say!?

Article 19 band is so talented, and work so hard, and give back so much to their community, that they deserve to have this chance. I love their shows!

I have heard A19 before and they’re pretty good, but I’ve got to go with STEVE DUNN BAND!! They are super talented and their originals are great. Guaranteed to have fun when you see one of thier shows. They totally know how to work a crowd.

Article 19 is the best band

Progmatic sucks
Article 19 sucks
McLovins are incredible

ARTICLE 19! They’d be a perfect fit to open for Bon Jovi. Talent, talent, talent! They always put on awesome, energetic, fun live shows. Such incredible guys who do a lot for everyone. They love performing and it shows each and everytime they hit the stage. Threse guys have such passion for what they do and it really stands out in their live performances.

Steve Dunn Band-yes!!!

FORGET PARIS ROCKS MY SOCKS! And they are unbelievably talented and nice:)

Progmatic all the way!! They have greatest songs.

Forget Paris, hands-down.

McLovins

I have been going to see ARTICLE 19 since this past summer and myself along with my four year old daughter are hooked! I have followed them and have come to realize that these boys deserve nothing but the absolute best. Hard work pays off in the end… BECOME AN ARTICLE 19 FAN, I PROMISE THEY WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU!

http://www.myspace.com/wavesandlegs

Get the McLovins!!!!! They are amazing!

A19 (article 19) has won BEST BAND and BEST POP/ROCK in the 2009 Hartford Advocate Grand Slam for a couple years. They will rock the arena like they did the Wolf Den at Mohegan

Progmatic all the way!!

Mclovins, there gonna be the new thing man, I’m telling ya.

Progmatic Band -go bro!

Forget Paris should without a doubt play! They are basically amazing and one of the best bands in Connecticut. If you don’t choose them to open for Bon Jovi, i’m pretty sure whatever else will be a lost cause. Forget Paris!

McLovins are your chance to hear something you haven’t heard before!

McLovins should play!!!

If you want talent get the Mclovins to play!!!!

“”Rolling Stone – “… the McLovins — a trio of Connecticut kids who have managed to harness the musical ferocity of Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool, and Stewart Copeland before being able to legally drive a car.”"

http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/smokingsection/2009/05/mclovins-enter-the-ss.php

McLovins all the way!!

Good bands all from CT but BEST band is Article 19!

go mclovins!!! they are seriously crazy talented! you will see these kids somewhere big someday! wooo mclovins!!!<33333

The McLovins are the most talented musicians to come out of CT in a long time. The have only been lighting up the stage for just over a year and already have a ton of big name fans. They are a jaw dropping trio whose audience cannot stop asking themselves “is this for real”? AMAZING!

The McLovins should open…
contest ended

The McLovins PLEASE! The best thing to come out of Conn since Ray Allen.

My boys the Mclovins would be pretty damn great.

Article 19 is a perfect opener for Bon Jovi!! They put on great shows, have awesome originals and make you wanna dance!! Everything you want in a great concert! good luck boys!

Article 19 is the real deal – they just need the platform to show the rest of the world!!! Vote A19!!

A19 rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS TO THE STEVE DUNN BAND!! AWESOME! Was that the one for the new theme song?

OH yeah I like these guys too.. very cool sounds.

Steve Dunn Band!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys9v2Qn134A Another favorite 20 in a 35 from the Barn. Back to the roots of rock, improvisation, jam. Are your ears ready for real music again not the over processed over tuned sounds from the digital age? check out the 112,000+ views on YEM video

The McLovins are the best young rock band in CT….. Fantastic original music, with face melting chops!!! Give these kids the chance and they will rock your socks off

PROGMATIC!!!!!! VOTE FOR PROGMATIC!!!

Article 19 is the BEST band to open for Bon Jovi, what an amazing show they put on!

With out a doubt the Steve Dunn Band should be the guys to win. Great talent and awesome original songs.

The Steve Dunn Band!!!!

Forget Paris all the way! You haven’t seen true talent until you’ve seen them! They deserve this and more!

the steve dunn band

Progmatic!!!!

I haven’t had the chance to check out the other bands, but A19 would be a perfect fit for this show. Great energy, Great sound, they neeeeed to bring that to the arena!!!!!!!! -Kristina B

Article 19 NEEDS to open for Bon Jovi!!!!!!

I LOVE these guys <3 This is so old, but it's one of my favorites….. GET TO KNOW ARTICLE 19:

Go Article 19!! Article 19 should totally open for Bon Jovi!!!

Steve Dunn Band… they’re great guys and the music is awesome!! they always put on a good show!

vote progmatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McLovins are a fantastic group.. i have seen them several times.. and each one they impress me.. from the first time i have seen them to the most recent.. there has been much growth

Rolling Stone – “… the McLovins — a trio of Connecticut kids who have managed to harness the musical ferocity of Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool, and Stewart Copeland before being able to legally drive a car.”
Real Review.

Go Mclovins!!!! If you guys want a killer band to get a start from your guys fame, and give back to the music community, PLEASE, give these boys this epic opportunity. They may be from CT, but I’m from North Jersey, so help a hometown boys favorite band out!!!

Is it possible these kids are already destined to be signed? They should tour with The Dead or something.. they may be TOO good for a Bon Jovi show.

I heart the steve dunn band!!!! They are the best!!

STEVEN DUNN BAND

The Mclovins !!!!!! you know naturals when you hear them!

The McLovins are the greatest young band I’ve ever met and the amount of talent they have for their age is just surreal. I’ve been to several shows and can’t get enough.

Check out their website http://www.themclovins.com for more.

Here are some quotes from the site:

Rolling Stone – “… the McLovins — a trio of Connecticut kids who have managed to harness the musical ferocity of Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool, and Stewart Copeland before being able to legally drive a car.”

Featured in Relix Magazine’s Bands On The Verge 11/09 edition.

Hidden Track – “In a genre of music that normally takes a good three years of 100+ shows and slow burn word of mouth publicity, The McLovins appear to be the first band in the jam scene to actually blow up.”

Jamtopia – “Seriously, a psychedelic concept album from a group a teenagers. Color me impressed.”

check out Poor Pluto – a truely original and great band to see live. They sound as good, if not better live, as they do on cd……

I absolutely adore A19!!! Every time I go to a show I’m entertained and have a blast. The guys in the band are so down to earth and nice and they deserve everything good that comes there way. I would love to see A19 open for Bon Jovi

Progmatic!! Love ya guys…

This should definitely go to Article 19! Great band, great guys, great music – and man can they BRING DOWN THE HOUSE! Their stage presence definitely matches up with that of Bon Jovi. They have my vote 100% – good luck guys!!

Progmatic!

Definitely Progmatic all the way!!!!! Love them!

Article 19 has won numerous “Best” awards in everything the last three years in a row. They play the top venues and pack them everywhere they go. They deserve to be heard on that stage and open for one of the best bands in the world. Article 19 is the BEST in the state.

My vote is for Article 19!!

Article 19 Is The best I’v seen in along time..

McLovins are the best

No way! Steve dunn Band, Seth Adam, Columbia Fields…just to name THREE are WAY better than that Article 19 band!

Progmatic rocks! Vote Progmatic.

MC LOVINS ~ best original band in the USA!

THE MCLOVINS!!!!!!!!Pound for Pound the best band in the Northeast. A must have for the contest and for Bon Jovi.

yI have seen the McLovins on numerous occasions.They are absolutely the freshest, most original band around. Not to mention they can shred. They are so good I have traveled from NJt see them in CT, Boston, Upstate NY, & ever time they play in NYC. Next I’m heading toVT to see them. Hoping I’ll see them at the Bon Jovi show as well.Love their CD as well.

The Steve Dunn Band!

Article 19 sounds like every other generic band out there. Pick a band with some originality.

McLovins all the way

Mclovins X10. This contest is a great “front” for making it seem like it is not a foregone conclusion. Picking any other CT band would be laughable.

The first requirement in the rules is:

1. The contest is open to all WTIC-FM listeners who are 18 years of age or older and who reside in Connecticut.

This is The Samurai Cab Company!

A vote for Steve Dunn, he just finished his latest tour promoting his latest CD in Austin TX , performing at the SXSW® Music Festival the must attend event for the 21st century music industry. Showcasing nearly 2,000 musical acts from around the globe at over 80 stages in downtown Austin TX. Check him out at http://www.stevedunnmusic.com/

“Forget Paris is a talented local band from Naugatuck; Connecticut. They will take the music world by storm with their up-beat, catchy tunes and lively personalities.” –The National Chronicle Magazine

Forget Paris gets me through my work week! I LOVE them! Their songs are so original yet sing-able and fun! And Tyler is the must fun performer to watch!

Myopia should win. Hands down, their music style fits perfectly and they ALWAYS put on an amazing show.

You know whats AMAZING everyone????? MOST of you getting all your friends to clog this board that the JUDGES need to go through and having them all VOTE for your band. This is NOT a vote! We didnt have a single person write in to “vote” for us.

This is a JUDGED competition. Let you music do the talking for you. I checked most of you out and was impressed on most of you. I think we ALL have a shot at this.

Again, Good luck to you all and thanks 96.5 and Bon Jovi for the opportunity for one of these GREAT bands to give them a shot.

I love Forget Paris!

They put on an AMAZING show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s amazing that an opportunity like this has been made available to local acts. Connecticut’s original scene is filled with amazing talent and it’s great to see all the support being received by the fans and friends posting their support.

They are amaaaazing live! They deserve this chance!

ARTICLE 19!

A-R-T-I-C-L-E-1-9!

who stole their band name from a movie character…. soooo original

About Poor Pluto

Poor Pluto is a 6 piece band from Hartford CT that is influenced by everything while at the same time produces music that is uniquely their own. Mixing elegant violin melodies and horn lines, with a driving rhythm section, spacious piano and guitar work, and lyrics about the ups and downs of life that are simple but make the listener think, the band’s music is intense yet mellow all at once.

ADDICTED needs to open for Bon Jovi!! They are an awesome band and the lead guitarist is a BIG Bon Jovi fan!!!! This would mean more to them then you could ever imagine and you would not be disappointed!!

Samurai Cab Company knows how to rock the house for sure!
Good luck to everyone what a great opportunity for any local band

Please view our site found here > http://myspace.com/gallium .

- Gallium

I hope Scarlet Fade can open for Bon Jovi!!!! After nine years together, best original song awards, and increasing fan base, Scarlet Fade deserves this chance!!!!=)

I don’t know if they entered, but the Steve Gregory Band is hands down one of the best live band I’ve seen in connecticut. I saw them at up or on the rocks in hartford and then saw them in hamden at some bar. They’re the best!!!

Gone By Daylight should be picked to open for Bon Jovi! They are very very very very very amazing and should be picked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget Paris should be chosen! They are one of the best and talented bands around. See them once, and you will never forget them! You will NOT regret choosing FORGET PARIS!

FORGET PARIS all the way!!! They are amazing!!

Forget Paris should open for Bon Jovi. They have great original music and an amazing stage presence. They sound just as good live, if not better, then recorded. They put on amazing live concerts and know how to work the crowd.

Forget Paris is an awesome band. I seen them if Hartford and I had to buy the CD they were selling there. They have a great sound and put on a very entertaining performance. I hope they get to open the show!

FORGET PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m going with Nous Dae.They are local up and coming band with a large following.They are going places.

FORGET PARIS is phenominal. They put on an unreal live show and their new material is amazing. One of the most legit bands on the CT scene. Period. They’ve been working so hard over the last 5 years… they deserve this.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Forget Paris!!! Its always a great show and a great time!!!

LOOOOOVE forget paris! they are great live. They are great people and fun to talk to as well They would be great for this opportunity!

FORGET PARIS

http://www.myspace.com/forgetparis

Forget Paris is amazing! I heard them for the first time live at The Space and bought their CD right away. I absolutely love their musical quality, vocal harmonies and just their overall sound is so emotionally driven and captivating. Forget Paris is definitely the best CT band I’ve heard. They put on an AMAZING show, really get the crowd involved, absolutely a GREAT band to watch and listen to. Professional and high energy performers. I can’t say enough good things about them. They deserve this opportunity!

Forget Paris is great band…great musicians…the harmonies are awesome! Great guys too…toured with them for a week last summer…it was a riot.

These guys are the real deal!

Forget Paris is by far the best Connecticut band i have ever heard and seen. Forget Paris has an unmatched energy that could take Bon Jovi’s concert to the next level. Pick the right choice you wont regret it.

FORGET PARIS is amazing!!! Saw them live once in a local Hot Topic and I’ve been following them ever since. They are such a great group of guys and they’re so much fun to watch live. They deserve this opportunity and are CLEARLY the best choice!! =))

You can never go wrong with Forget Paris. Their music is awesome and their live shows are allows fun and energetic.

FORGET PARISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think this contest is picked via judges. I wonder if they even read these posts lol. CT has a lot of talented groups, most though put on a below par live show. All hype from spoiled little rich kids. HAHA!

FORGET PARIS ROCKS!… they would blow that arena out of the water.

I love Forget Paris! They’ve been one of my favorite bands for years now!! They have a large and faithful following and really know how to work a crowd with their impressive stage presence and ability to set a feel-good high-energy mood throughout the crowd. They’re nothing short of unforgetable and you won’t regret working with them!

Forget Paris would be great for this!! They have worked so hard and they are amazingly talented!!! There shows are great and they are great guys!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Please throw out this rule. It’s not the McLovin’s fault that they discovered their talent so early on in life. If they are not in the battle, then it is not a true contest of the best bands in CT.

Forget Paris!!!!!! They are AMAZING! They have phenomenal vocals and harmony’s. They definitely know how to get a crowed excited! They are the best local band I’ve ever heard!!!

FORGET PARIS deserves this spot! They’re incredibly talented / dedicated and put on an awesome live show.

I would love to see Addison Station open for Bon Jovi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta be Forget Paris…these guys have been rockin out for too long. they deserve it!!

Forget Paris!!!!!!!!!!!! although i dont live in CT i keep up with them online!

Not choosing Paris would be a mistake, Bon Jovi is a big influence on them, and they even cover Livin’ on a Prayer on occasion.

Mind’s Eye Witness Rules big time

Forget Paris rocks my world. Bon Jovi deserves an opener that has incredible musical talent backed by an all out charismatic and rockin band. Forget Paris!!

The power trio of Tugboat Domino!!! What fantastic musicianship from 3 young guys. Very talented players. A great band to say the least

Steve Dunn just got back from playing SXSW. He should be opening for Jon.

quite simply…………….CO2

I was there for when this band was created so in a sense, I feel like I’ve watched and listened to how they have evolved as a band. Right from day one, there was absolutely no denying that this band had chamistry and natural talent. Each individual band member has constantly brought essential elements to the band to make it completely wonderful. I truly look forward to seeing them make it to the top. With a contagious sound and energy I can honestly say, I have NO doubt in my mind that they will! Keep rockin boys and making all your fans so proud!

Forget Paris!

Addison Station is a fantastic band. They’re tight together and have such stage presence. They never fail to put on a great show!!

So glad Addison Station has entered this contest! Their songs are filled with so much emotion and they are just some of the greatest guys around! So talented – they would be a great band to open for Bon Jovi!

Mclovin’s is one of the most talented group of youths currently playing music. SELECT THEM! They deserve to get as much attention as they possibly can!!

Love you guys!

meaning FOPA of course!

FOPA!!!!

I most definitely vote Addison Station!!! They are AWESOME!!

Addison stationnnn :]

Article 19! Article 19! ))

wooo hoooo Forget Paris!!!!! No one deserves it more!!! You guys always have and always will rock!!!!

Forget paris should most deffinately get this opportunity…they are the best band in the area

ARTICLE 19. These guys have been around a long time. Even followed them when a couple of them were with other bands. I think for this venue with Bon Jovi, Article 19 is the right opening act. Brett, the lead singer, will set the pace for the main act!

FORGET PARIS ROCKS!!!!!!

Forget Prais is the best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are amazing!!!!

FORGET PARIS….THEYY’REEEE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude FOPA rocks I hope you guys get to play this that would be huuuuuuuge! Good lucky guys :0)

FORGET PARIS !!!!!!!

Forget Paris, without a doubt, deserves this!

ARTICLE 19! They will rock the house for Bon Jovi and get the crowd going! GO A19!!!!

ADDISON STATION ALL THE WAY!!!!!

FORGET PARIS! hands down the best band out there!! phenomenal!

Forget Paris – Forget Paris – Forget Paris – Forget Paris ♥

Gone By Daylight! Very talented band with catchy songs, they’d be a great choice.

Forget Paris without a doubt
