There will be a playlist available at Spotify called BATTLESHACK 5 contest show that will cover all these songs and you can dig into their profiles for further review if you wish.

All this is explained in this show or will be explained in greater detail in future episodes. Some bands you may expect to see either have already competed in earlier contests or are too big to compete against unknown bands (i.e. Drowning Pool, Cavo, From Ashes to New, Nerv, The Dangerous Summer etc....) Each contest covers the last 2 years of artists. We pick the brightest examples and not the one hit wonders. We had at least 70 artists or more added to the roster in the last couple years since BattleShack 4! Here's 15 of 30 for your listening pleasure! 

Find the tracklist at the SHACLISTS page at Halshack website! 

We hope to see you get involved in the contest! This is where the fans build the show!
