The final Second Round matchup in the East pits #15 seed WEQX of the little ski town of Machester Vt. (but also serving Albany NY) pitted against #7 seed Clear Channel behemoth WRZX of Indianapolis. WEQX beat another Clear Channel station WRFF which pioneered the steering of Clear Channel alternative stations from the lockerooms of active rock. WRZX beat out WMRQ, which used to be a Clear Channel station and is now just a plain vanilla alterntive. 10 songs from the playlist head to head.
WEQX starts strong with Hashpipe -- Weezer to which WRZX counters with Maybe -- Sick Puppies. WEQX by a country mile.
WEQX is on the left.
Pumped Up Kicks -- Foster the People vs. Vasoline -- Stone Temple Pilots If a station can't take out Foster the People you know they're in for a rough day WEQX 2-0
3 Libras -- A perfect Circle vs. Memorial Day -- Dropkick Murphys Irish-punk fusion bands are sorta like punk ska bands. You're too often reminded of their more talented forebears. WEQX 3-0
Block After Block -- Matt & Kim vs. Beautiful Day -- U2 Now Irish rock, that's a different matter. WEQX 3-1.
Girls and Boys -- Blur vs. One Thing -- Finger 11. When Blur missed, they missed big. WEQX 3-2
Moneygrabber -- Fitz and the Tantrums vs. My Hero -- Foo Fighters. Like Fitz and the Tamtrums -- they're really good live. But one of my two favorite Foo Fighters songs -- Gotta give this one to WRZX..IT'S NOW A 3-3 TIE.
Spanish Sahara -- The Foals vs. So Far Away -- Avenged Sevenfold. The Avenged Sevenfold song is surprisingly listenable, but the Foals song is a beautiful melody that builds to a slow burn and the song rewards repeated listens. 4-3 EQX
Let it Die -- Foo Fighters vs. Last Resort -- Papa Roach Not my favorite song out of the FF canon, but it's enough to beat Papa Roach. 5-3 EQX
You Are A Tourist -- Death Cab for Cutie vs. Jane Says -- Jane's Addiction. EQX WINS!
