Boston is bursting with musical talent throughout the city including within colleges and universities. With all of these bands and performers available it is difficult for spectators to ever see them all. It would take a month worth of Fridays to even begin to see the best of what Boston’s musical community has to offer. The Battle of the Bands will bring many of these groups together on the same night all playing at their best competing for the Battle’s grand prize. The Battle of the Bands will be a fun concert made up of bands with very diverse sounds and instrumentation.
