Rocktoria
Rocktoria is a local music contest run by 100.3 the Q. Originally conceived in December 1987, this contest gives 4 local bands or musicians a chance to record a few songs for CD release. While a lot of these bands no longer exist in the same form, there was a lot of great music recorded on these albums and a few have gone on to be quite successful.
These albums were limited issue so most are only available by searching used CD and record stores. Also, check the Q and Rocktoria web sites for more info.
Volume I appeared in 1989, it was only available on EP {yeah, vinyl man!} and featured 1 song by each of the 4 bands. On Volumes II - IV bands had 1, 2, 3 or 4 songs on an album depending on their placing in the contest. From Volume V all 4 bands are treated equally, getting to record 3 songs each. With Rocktoria LIVE:2002 the total has reached 154 songs from 56 bands. The Q has embraced the Web with Rocktoria 2001 and Rocktoria LIVE:2002, they have their own Rocktoria web site that includes band info and songs downloadable in .mp3 format.
