Critics Press Release:

The Humboldt County Fernstock Battle of the Bands winners, The Critics, are asking for your vote. They have entered the Ernie Ball Battle of Bands www.BattleoftheBands.com national competition and the first round is based on fan participation.

To have a shot at being selected for a chance to perform at the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA this summer, they need to be one of the top 100 bands in the Long Beach tour region to have the most fan votes. This is where you come in. Please go to www.TheCriticsBand.com – click the “Vote for the The Critics” button, create an account, search for “TheCritics” (all one word), and vote. You can vote for all 5 of their videos daily until May 1st, so we encourage you set a daily recurring reminder on your phone.

Ernie Ball judges will review the top 100 submissions and select 2 bands to perform at the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach. There is also a region for the Washington, DC and Orlando, FL tour dates. A total of 6 bands will be selected to perform at the 3 tours and have a chance for the Grand Prize - a record deal!

The Critics truly appreciate the community’s support.  They are currently working on releasing a few singles in the coming months, touring this summer, and releasing their second album in the fall. There are two opportunities to see them live in March at Outerspace Arcata and the Redwood Coast Mountain Bike Association Fundraiser Event at the Arcata Theatre Lounge.
