Battle Of The Bands Winner Announced
Classic Rock recently ran our very first Battle Of The Bands competition and we can now reveal the victor. Come back tomorrow for round two!
Federal Black 40 went up against The Deadly Romantics in the first ever Classic Rock Battle Of The Bands and it’s time to reveal who emerged victorious.
Ladies and gentlemen, your winners…Federal Black 40!
Federal Black 40
Cambridge four piece Federal Black 40 formed early last year and have already supported the likes of Soulfly, Hawkwind and Chris Shiflett (of Foo Fighters fame), recorded a 5 track EP and been selected to play this year’s Surface Unsigned festival. Claiming influences from GN’R, The Almighty, Jet and AC/DC, their track The One showcases their intense, visceral style – packing melodies alongside a punky hard rock punch. Do they convince the hardened veterans of Classic Rock land? You decide.
Download Federal 40’s track The One!
The idea is of Battle Of The Bands is a simple one: every Friday we’ll give you access to two unsigned bands. Download their songs and then vote for the band you like the most. The following Friday we’ll count the votes – and the winner will get a spot on a forthcoming Classic Rock magazine CD, taking their music to 70,000 rock fans.







Good on ya FB40! You deserve it!
