Alt Rock Radio March Madness KROX vs. KVGS

Next matchup is Austin's KROX vs. KVGS out of Las Vegas. KROX leans slightly indie and KVGS slightly leans classic alternative, but not too classic. In the 2 hours I looked at not one song was released prior to 1991. Best of 10, winner goes to the next round.

KROX leads off with PANIC SWITCH BY THE SILVERSUN PICKUPS and KVGS goes with LITHIUM BY NIRVANA. That'll be the order they go from here on out. KVGS wins the first heat.

HELP IS ON THE WAY -- RISE AGSINT VS. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG -- THE KILLERS KVGS 2-0
CARESSS ME DOWN -- SUBLIME VS. NOT IN LOVE -- CRYSTAL CASTLES. With secret weapon Robert Smith. KVGS has built up a formidable 3-0 lead.
TIGHTEN UP -- THE BLACK KEYS VS. SEX AND CANDY -- MARCY PLAYGROUND. KROX finally gets on the board.
BLACK HOLE SUN -- SOUNDGARDEN VS. THE PRETENDER -- FOO FIGHTHERS Draw.
THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT -- THE DECEMBRISTS VS. SHAKE ME DOWN -- CAGE THE ELEPHANT KROX narrows it to 3-2.
1901 -- PHOENIX VS. SOUL MEETS BODY -- DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE. Love them both. Can't choose.
ALL MY LIFE -- FOO FIGHTERS VS. I WANT YOU TO -- WEEZER As much as I love the Foos, the Weezer song is the one I sing along to. 4-2 KVGS.
MY BODY-- YOUNG THE GIANT VS. VASOLINE -- STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Can KROX tie it up to go to overtime?
WICKED GARDEN -- STONE TEMPLE PILOTS VS. AMBER --311. No they can't. Couldn't have picked a worse time to pull out the STP.

Next -- WLUM takes on Ottawa's CILV in the Midwest Regional
