Squawkatiel Madness 2014: Round 4 Begins!

Voting for Round 4 of Squawkatiel Madness 2014 has begun! We are down to 8 bands left out of 64. One of these 8 will get the second hour of the April 9th show dedicated to their music, and you get to decide who that will be!

Click here to vote for who you want to advance to the Feathered Four.

Here are the matches in the Avian Eight:

Beach Fossils, who made the Feathered Four last year, are looking to get there once again this year. But standing in their way is Stephen Malkmus, frontman of the beloved 90's band Pavement, and his current band The Jicks who have been going strong for over 10 years.

In what looks to be possibly the most competitive match this round, we have Washed Out, who appear to be popular with the same crowd who carried Beach House to victory last year, up against Real Estate, who just released their newest album Atlas that has been very popular on WRUV.

In the third match we have two of the more surprising artists in the Avian Eight fighting it out for a spot in the Feathered Four. We have Tennis, who have been quite busy with two albums and an EP in the last three years, versus Dr. Dog who are a really great live band.

Finally, in the last match we have two artists who couldn't be more different. Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros goes up against dance duo Daft Punk whose popularity has soared in the last year with a hit single and Grammy-winning album.

So who will make it to the Feathered Four? It's up to you. You have until Wednesday, April 2nd at 6 pm to vote for who you want to advance, and then the results will be announced on that night's show.
