The valley has voted! The winners of the “Rock the Valley – Battle of the Bands” have been announced. First place winner is Whynotfrank, an alternative rock project born through sound experiments and creative forms. Their unique sound is a fusion of their different personalities combined in an ever-changing mosaic of lyrics. Second place was voted to Wings of Heaven, made up of three Tsang brothers, Nico, Halen and Jade, and their friend Max Dennert. Third place winner is Joker’s Hand, which seamlessly fuses together punk, alternative and hip hop to create a fresh sound from Kevin Kawano and Matt Lau, both first-generation Asian Americans. First place winner received $500, second place $250 and third place $100. This summer Wings of Heaven will perform as an emerging artist at Warner Park, and Joker’s Hand will perform next summer.
