E90 March Bandness Tournament 2022 (Plus Industry Elitism & Twitter Sensitivity!)

This week, we're scratching The Itch for tradition! It's March
Bandness week! Last year's tournament was won by industry
mainstays Nonpoint, and this year we have a lineup of rising rock
stars battling for your love! The first round polls will be open
for your vote for 48 hours on Twitter starting right after this
episode is released, continuing until next Monday when we
announce the winner! And what does that winner receive, you ask?
The victorious emerging artist who emerges victorious will be the
subject of a future episode of The Itch as an interview, deep
dive, or discussion with a special guest. We'll probably also
announce them as the 2022 March Bandness winner every Sunday
night on the radio from here until eternity.


Also, a couple of weeks ago we started a side conversation that
quickly turned into half an episode's worth of talk about
industry elitism, social media sensitivity, and why we do what we
do. It also inspired part of the March Bandness field, so we've
included it here for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
