Hi Everyone,

THE PARAGON/JAGERMEISTER RELEASE THE BEAST BAND COMPETITION FINALS
Took place last night (FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH @ THE ANNEX WRECKROOM)
The following bands made it to the finals after intense rounds of competitions:

ALTERNATE END, THE RANDALLS, CAYM, ARYA, DOCILE, JACK D, THEMT

They played to a consistently sold-out wreckroom that was busy by 9:00 pm and didn't let up all night!

It was a tough decision for judges:
Dave from Jagermusic Canada, Kori from Universal Music Canada, Joe from Road Runner Records and Brad from Gibson Canada.

Thanks to the amazing bands! Our great MC, judges and to the Annex Wreckroom for making the night so great. Thanks also to all the friends/fans/media/insustry that came out to support independent music in Toronto!

Despite of the most intense competition we have ever put on, only one band walked away with the big prize which consists of:
