This No Cover special highlights the 5th annual Battle of the Bands, presented by KCSU FM and RAMEvents. This staple live music event brought us sets from 4 fantastic CSU bands: Midriff, Kevin?, Any Means Necessary, and Boy Sorority. This bill ranged from rock & roll to indie and hardcore punk, all on the Lory Student Center’s Sutherland Gardens. We’re excited to bring you a taste of their performances, along with conversations with members of the bands themselves.
