Our journey with neXt2rock 2018 has reached the neXt stage… with Topeka’s local champ!

On August 25th, we hosted our neXt2rock live event at The Landing Grille and Bar. Four local rock groups battled it out in band-to-band combat. At stake…  advancement to the national level, where industry experts will narrow down 5 acts to play in Los Angeles for a chance at a record contract and national radio play.

This year, Queen Anne’s Revenge took home the title of Topeka neXt2rock winner. They played three songs on Saturday, two originals and a cover , wowing the judges with their musicianship, crowd interaction and more. The other bands that played include The Ordeal, Take The Day and Eleven After, last year’s winner.

We want to thank all the bands for taking their time to contribute and play at this event and we all wish Queen Anne’s Revenge good luck in the national stage of the event.

Want to hear music from these four bands and other local acts? Listen in Sunday nights from 9-12 inside The VORTX, our local, hard and new rock music show.
